This was the perfect location to stay. Easy walking distance to Barangaroo Reserve, Sydney Harbour Bridge and cruise pier. Samantha met us at checkin and gave us some history about the building as well as tips and info for the area.

The cottage was really nice. Close to bridge and pier. Great location. Sam was super helpful.

Great location and friendly, informative host

Location was amazing and we were very comfortable in this clean space

This little three bed unit is unique. The living space is snug to say the least for 5 adults, but I doubt if many people stay here to spend time indoors! More should be made of the close proximity of the lift down to the harbour - once we found this it was a game changer (we stayed on the ‘muggiest’ day on record so walking up and down the hills was a pain. The lift goes to on of the Wilson parking garages on Hickson rd. again, making clear which one is best in the listing would really aid out of town travellers. Plus points: Aircon efficient, hot water plentiful, beds comfortable. Location superb for CBD and waterfront. Suggestions: Clearly mark this listing as unsuitable for those with mobility issues, the hilly terrain and external and internal steps are difficult to negotiate. The house bathroom has no lock so we had to devise a signalling system to indicate occupancy. Weather conditions were challenging during our stay, but once we stumbled upon the lift we found walking on the waterfront to pick up the ferry or light rail to get around Sydney was a doddle. We enjoyed our stay, but prior warning of all the steps might have influenced our booking.

Couldn’t ask for a better base for exploring Sydney. Cottage is smartly decorated and the location is ideal. My family of 5 was comfortable and enjoyed the opportunity to walk to sites of interest.

Lovely property. Bit of a walk up the hill to the accommodation. Great spot though.

Great location, had everything we needed and air conditioning in every room. Would recommend

Sam and Max were great hosts. Place is an excellent location. Access to so many great places in Sydney. Sam was great in communicating everything. Would definitely recommend and book again.

Stunning area, perfect for exploring the city and catching the ferries at circular Quay. Communication with Kate prior to our visit and Sam during was excellent. Really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you.

Great location close to every thing in Sydney

Our stay was an awesome experience from the location, the character of the property, the absolute friendly helpfulness of our host, to the comfortable beds and cleanliness of our bathrooms and rooms. Highly recommend an early morning stroll to the star gazer lawn at the top of Barangaroo, which was also an epic location to watch the sun go down over the harbour. The property is a beautiful combination of being close to the Rocks and Barangaroo, but in a quiet corner close to lovely parkland and quiet coves.

Perfect cottage for close and convenient access to central Sydney. Very short walking distance to the harbour bridge, circular quay, and the rocks district. Sam, our host, was amazing. She offered loads of good dining and tourist suggestions. 10 out of 10.

My friend and I stayed in a beautifully renovated 3-BR unit and it was terrific! It was the perfect location - in The Rocks - for seeing Sydney and accessing the ferries. The owner, Sam, was able to let us store our luggage prior to the check-in time and was otherwise available for help with sightseeing questions. I usually only stay in hotels, but this was a really nice experience.

Great location, great host, thanks Sam.

We stayed for 4 nights and couldn’t fault anything about our stay. Sam was very helpful and friendly, the cottage has everything you could want, the whole place was clean and tidy, the beds were comfortable and the facilities perfect.

The location couldn’t have been any better. The woman who greeted us was incredibly helpful and gave us some great recommendations for places to go for dinner. It was a wonderful place to stay.

We loved our time here and wished we had more time to both explore and chill. The location is so easy to explore from ... Sydney Harbour Bridge, Opera House, Government House, ferry terminal, bus stop, Barangaroo reserve, city shopping. Sam and Maximus are friendly, helpful and fun hosts with top knowledge of the area. The villa is very well appointed and is tucked away in a very quiet and peaceful nook despite the plethora of sightseeing options just a short walk away. Great options within a 5-minute walk for dining and beverages. There were 5 of us, ranging from 10 to 73 years young. The property was accessible for us all and although on the small side, the living room provided a cost gathering spot for our family. Thank you for your hospitality Sam and Maximus x

Sam's place was magical and had everything we needed for a nice holiday in the city.

Great location. More than we expected available in house. Very nice beds and showers. Easy access to all the sights- walking distance.

We had a great stay. The cottage is wonderful and Sam, the host super gentle, responsive and kind. We felt at home and hope to come back! Location is very central and quite at the same time. For us was perfect

A fantastic location and unique porpoerty that was both comfortable and quirky with plenty of room for my family of 6. Easy access to downtown Sydney and the historic Rocks neighborhood.

We had a great couple of days staying at Sam's cottage. She was very friendly and always helpful. Sam has done an awesome job creating these spaces. Everything is there (but you may need to ask)

The cottage was exactly as described and in a perfect location. Sam was very welcoming and helpful. Would definitely recommend, thanks!

Our family really enjoyed this cottage. Just a short walk from the Rocks and Circular Quay, it was a nice spacious base for our family of 4 to explore Sydney. Check in process was easy with great communication. It’s a very unique property behind the cafe. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own breakfasts, and we enjoyed a couple nice meals steps from the cottage at the Lord Nelson pub and Tago-an. I would definitely stay here again on a future trip to Sydney.

This was a perfect place for our family to stay overnight recently. We were in the city for our son’s wedding & basically just needed a bed for the night without breaking the bank. Ideal location near Barangaroo. Sam was wonderful to deal with & very helpful. Thanks Sam. We loved it.

Loved our stay. Very comfortable and great location. Sam was the perfect welcoming host and always available to answer any questions. Only drawback was Wifi slightly dodgy. Not an issue, as we had data through other means, but could be if relying on it. I'd definitely recommend this place to friends.

We loved our stay here. 2 adults and 15 +17 year old sons came over for quick visit from NZ. Location was excellent! Close to Ferrys, harbour bridge, opera house otherwise we took Ubers everywhere and Lord Nelson (Sydneys oldest pub across the street) was a great landmark. Using codes for doors instead of keys was great. The place was spotless, beds all super comfy and great having 3 bedrooms. We didnt spend much time in the apartment cooking etc but it had everything u wold need. Sam was super responsive and had lots of tidbits and advice to share.

I agree with all of the other reviews that are full of superlatives. We had a really special 4-night stay. Sam was an exceptional host. The cottage was a tremendous value—3 bedrooms, outdoor space, a great kitchen all for the typical price of a good Sydney hotel room. We will be back!

Sam was kind and welcoming. The house was quirky cosy and comfortable. Everything we needed. The location was the best! Walkable to Darling Harbor and Circular quay in minutes. Excellent time in Sydney

Great location, close to the city, Circular Quay and the vibrant Rocks area. All the amenities you need, fully equipped kitchen and laundry and enough space for three or four people very comfortably. Loved staying here.

This place had gorgeous decor, was amazingly cosy and located right where the history, events and amazing surroundings were. Sam was a dream host!
