Exquisite accommodation.
Wow, the accommodation was the highlight of our trip to Sydney. Beautiful historic building hosted by Sam who is so accommodating. Everything has been thought of, a beautiful home away from home and so close to the all the things we wanted to do. Can't wait to return to Sydney and stay again.

Fantastic stay
We all loved this place. Yes it's walking distance to just about everything, but it is quite hilly so if you aren't used to walking it can be a bit challenging. Also both toilets are upstairs {20 stairs} which can be interesting if you are unfit like I am. I'd consider the property again

Wonderful property with old world charm at the Rocks. Location is excellent - very close to Train Station, and a short walk to Circular Quay to catch the Ferries. Many restaurants around this area and history right on your doorstep. Sam, our host was so welcoming and helpful and our stay at this delightful property couldn’t have been better - we will be back.
