Good experience - several steps!
Our experience was great. The only problem we had were the steps. There were 4 or 5 steps go get to the property and the one at the gate was a very big step. Probably due to my own error, I didn’t realize the unit was on two floors with the bedrooms being upstairs. We had a lot of luggage, and again the steps were inconvenient. Wouldn’t prevent us from staying there again though. Safe travels!

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.

Our family of four loved staying at the Rocks Cottage during the school holidays. The location and facilities were amazing and we enjoyed walking to all the local attractions. The booking process was easy and all information was well communicated. Our host Sam was lovely and extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend this property.

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.

We really enjoyed our stay here- close to the waterfront, but in a quiet neighbourhood, .It was the perfect spot from which to explore Sydney, and we very much appreciated all the many little touches that made it so convenient and cozy.

Pleasant & quaint historical terrace / cottage suitable for families
A ripper terrace-type cottage, that was quite spacious for our family of five. It was our abode for a handful of days whilst we visited Sydney for the Vivid light festival. Some accuracy issues with the Stayz listing with both oven and wifi listed as ammenities (oven out of order and wifi not available). Owner / host kind enough to process a small refund due to this issue which I am grateful for. Being a family of 5, cooking half our meals was important. Availability of the oven would have been nice too but we made do with the microwave and stove. Great array of crockery and cooking utensils. The listing mentions harbour views and whilst that is technically accurate, it was only from one window located in one bedroom, and occupied only roughly a quarter of the window viewing area with a slither of water visible between surrounding buildings. Tissues and laundry detergent weren’t supplied, seemed odd. Admittedly supplied on request with absolutely no issue, and encouraged to reach out if we needed anything, but we aren’t the type of people to do that with ease and we would have felt more comfortable if they were just supplied up-front. Reasonably near to public transport (~20min walk roughly to either Wynyard or Circular Quay). One of our days was entirely dreadful weather wise and it was a very homely place and a nice sanctuary, with plenty of space for the five of us. Despite some small issues.
