This is a cosmopolitan area, with shopping nearby (Coles, Woolworths, Aldi in suburbs close by, and local Asian shops) and public transport is just 5 minutes away. There is a pretty 'chain of parks' close by for your morning walk or run.

LOCATION

Homebush West is approx. 15 km. west of the City and 3 km. from the Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush.

Our railway station is Flemington, less than 500 m away, just a 5-minute walk from "Mum's House". Trains run frequently, and it takes 30-40 minutes to get to Circular Quay - $5.20 offpeak return adult fare, $2.60 for children. (Also, 7 buses a day run to and from the station, if you don't fancy the Flemington station steps; they will take you to Strathfield where there are ramps and lifts to the platform.)

We're about 10 minutes by private transport from the Olympic Park, or you can walk it in 30 brisk minutes! (Recently, 3 wheelchair racers staying at "Mum's House" wheeled back and forth daily!) Or take the train one station west then change to the Sprint train for a short ride to Olympic Park.

We're just 2 stations from Strathfield, a central interchange, from where 1000 trains a day will take you to just about anywhere in NSW.

If you can drive to Homebush Bay Wharf, the Rivercat ferry commute to the City is quite magical. (Or take the train to Parramatta and catch the same ferry from there.)

"Mum's House" is about a 25-minute, $55. drive from the International Airport by taxi, or if just one person is travelling with little luggage, a $15.00 train ride is a viable option.

Some indicative public transport fares (return, adult, offpeak; children under 4 are free, over 4 up to 16 are approx. half):
Flemo - Central - $4.60
Flemo - all City stations (Museum, St. James, Town Hall, Circular Quay)-$5.20
Flemo - Olympic Park $3.40 (wkly - $21.)
Flemo - Parramatta - $4.20 ($3.00 single)
Flemo - Bondi Beach - $9.20 (includes bus)
Flemo - Manly - $15.60 (includes ferry)
Parramatta - Circular Quay (by Rivercat) - $7.70 (one-way, any time)
Homebush Bay - Circular Quay (by Rivercat) - $6.40 (one-way, any time)

There are several attractive low-cost fare schemes (eg, $43 weekly Travel Pass that covers trains, buses, ferries within the "green" zone) depending on the time frame and geography of travel you wish to undertake.

Local Attractions

The Sydney Olympic Park at Homebush was the site of the 2000 Olympics, and now is a hub for many sporting, and other, events. The V8 car races are on from 4-6/12/09. There are 2 stadiums, the marvellous Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre (you'll never get the children out of there!), the very busy Sydney Olympic Sports Centre, and the lovely Bicentennial Park, home to thousands of migratory birds, the Golden Orb Spider and other fascinating, harmless Australian wildlife. You can rent bikes (& helmets) there as well.

Go to the Sydney Olympic Park's web (see Local Knowledge) site to see what events are taking place at the Athletic Centre, the Golf Centre, the Sports Hall, the Tennis Centre, and the myriad other venues.

We're just 2 minutes' walk from the Hudson Park Golf Course, an 18-hole, par 60 accredited course, or 5 minutes' drive from Strathfield Golf Club, which is par 71.

Lollipop's Playland and Cafe, for the littlies, is a 5-minute drive away, as is the new 38-lane AMF bowling centre.

Rosehill Race Track is a 15-minute drive away, while shopping centres, cinemas, and houses of worship are within 15 minutes' transport.

Cook's River Cycleway, Rookwood Necropolis (one of the best surviving examples of a Victorian cemetery in the world), and Paddy's Flemington Markets are all nearby.

One of Sydney's biggest and best clothing/homewares disposal complexes, Direct Factory Outlet (DFO), is near Olympic Park, and can be reached by car or bus.

Homebush West has many well-frequented Chinese/Vietnamese restaurants and a bottle shop. Just 2 suburbs west (but with a change of trains) is wonderful Turkish food, and 1 suburb east are Sri Lankan and Indian restaurants.

Amazingly, considering the low tariff and comfortable accommodation, we're no more than 40 minutes from Sydney's downtown, with all its exciting sights and events, like the Opera House and the Harbour.

TALES FROM THE GUEST
BOOK


We made a perfect choice of staying in "Mum's House"while we are being tourists and enjoying the wonders of Sydney....We love the birds that always stopped by the garden, they are beautiful. K., A., P., & A.P., Mt. Gravatt, Qld., 7/08
___________________________________________________
We enjoyed "Mum's House" immensely. It was perfectly suited to our needs. You provided everything anyone could want and more. The pictures of family added a homey touch. We also appreciated the proximity to Flemington Station connecting wherever we wanted to go with frequent schedules and reasonable fares.

Bill is going to miss "his" birds. First thing every morning he made sure there was seed and water and they provided great pleasure. B.&B.H., London, ON, Canada, 5/08

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks Anna for a most comfortable and homely stay in Sydney....it was just like being at my Grandma's house. The kids all did well at their swimming thanks to the comfy beds and great atmosphere. Hope to stay again some time!
C., A., B., & S.T., Bowraville, 4/08
___________________________________________________
Thank-you for opening your doors to us. "Mum's House" was perfect for our stay. The ramp you put outside for us was wonderful and worked like a charm. With a little exploration we were able to find everything we needed. We will be keeping you in mind the next time we visit Australia. A.D., K.F., K.S., wheelchair racers from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, 2/08

We had a wonderful time here in Sydney. Mum's House is the most charming place we have ever stayed. Spending Christmas Day here was so special. B. J. P. & E. H., Galway, 12/07
__________________________________________________
My month's placement as a student nurse at Strathfield Private (Hospital) has flown. It's been hard being away from my home 'out west' but this wonderful little house has made me feel much less homesick. Thanks heaps Anna for your friendliness and attention to detail and for putting the outside light on for me when I was out late. S.E., Dubbo, 11/07
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you for a very comfortable and pleasant environment. It was so convenient for us and a very calming place to come to each night after a long day at our exhibition. We have passed your card to the Embroiderers' Guild and hope more of 'us' will take the opportunity to sample your hospitality. J.W., M.S., & L.L., Embroiderers' Guild NSW, Mollymook Group, 10/07

Had a great stay. We were here for watching our daughter play sport at Olympic Park so it was very handy for us. Coming back here late at night after a long day was so relaxing, cosy and homely. ... A happy place is "Mum's House". D & SB, Gladstone, 7/07
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you so much for your hospitality during our week in Sydney. "Mum's House" was wonderful, giving we three pastors a taste of the homes we were away from! RS, R & S R-B, Canberra, 5/07
___________________________________________________
We had already become fast friends through email, before we ever met you.....We will recommend "Mum's House" to anyone wanting to spend time in Sydney. The location is convenient, the area safe, and it is so affordable. Being able to enjoy the garden and the colourful birds, listening to the lovely classical music station is so different from being in a hotel. I & MY, Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada, 2/07
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
We had enjoyable stay here during our first week of Australia. "Mum's House" is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful place. Thank you for everything, especially for your hospitality and for being so helpful. D & OE, Moscow, Russia, 2/07
___________________________________________________
We have spent the last 8 days here ..and have enjoyed every minute of it, everything we require and so very clean. We have loved the little garden and the birds are truly amazing. During the time we have been here we did not have a car but it has been so easy on the trains and ferries; it's definitely better without one. Some of the highlights of our time here were the Blue Mountains (by train), Riverboat Postman, Chinese Tea Gardens, Parramatta Rivercat trip, Botanical Gardens, and many more. P & MC, Kent, UK, 1/07
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Reluctantly we're moving on to Melbourne to a nameless 4-star hotel, which will not offer us the homely atmosphere we have enjoyed so much here. Despite the 'Ashes' defeat we have thoroughly enjoyed our time in Sydney and will be back in 2012 to hopefully give a better performance!

Transport links from Flemington ideal, buy a weekly ticket (Travel Pass - $41) - great value for money. SH, PR, & VB - Essex, U.K., 1/07

What a lovely stay, so friendly and hospitable and with everything you could need to make it a real home away from home. Also a wonderful assortment of eating houses just around the corner and many in nearby suburbs.
We hope to spend more relaxing time with "Mum" in future holidays in Sydney. T & E E, Narrandera, 10/06

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
What a fabulous start to our new life "Down Under". The house is so welcoming and homely, it was fabulous to arrive to after our long journey from the U.K. Our daughter has loved seeing the birds every day and playing in the garden. We have enjoyed exploring Flemington and Strathfield and the Olympic site.
Thanks so much for being such a thoughtful hostess and making our first few weeks in Sydney so enjoyable.

Your cottage has been a comfortable, safe haven for us as we visited with family in Sydney. Being so close to the Olympic Pool was a sanity saver for me....
S & WW & sons, Boston, USA, 8/06

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Mum's House" has proven..with the grandchildren...to be the ideal compromise (due to homesickness) - 7 minutes from home and easy visits from Mum and Dad. We have been out every day, the house is conveniently located and Sydney public transport has been excellent. The children enjoyed their stay, loved the birds, the quoits, the darts and the children's books.

...the house is great, very comfortable and we hope to return again.
M & J C (Melbourne)and grandchildren E & R H (Concord), 7/06

Thank you so much for allowing me the privilege of staying at Mum's House. The many special touches made my stay very special. You are a blessing and Mum's House was so "co-ordinated" with my own 'autumn tonings' that it was just PERFECT!
HB, (Hillsong Conference) Harrington Park, Sydney, 7/06

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Thank you Anna for your warm welcome when we arrived. Your cottage has been cosier than I had imagined. We loved waking up to the birds each morning. The call of the Australian ravens had us puzzled for a while. "Mum's House" has been much nicer than a hotel to come back to at the end of a day and 'blob out'.

The weekly travel pass has enabled us to get around very easily and cheaply - never having to wait for a train for more than a few minutes has been great.
D & SS, N.Z., 6/06

Thank you for a lovely stay. You made our move to Sydney very comfortable. We will make sure to recommend you to our friends returning home from the U.K.

(From) Your Tennis Tenants. Due to the weather, rain, rain and more rain, we have got to know this great little cottage like the back of our hands. We came here for a tennis tournament and we left Monopoly champions. ....We hope to be back here soon. - E&C F & PE, N.Z. & Mlbne., 11/05

We really appreciated the homely atmosphere. We woke up so refreshed, the beds were so comfortable, the mattresses nice & firm, lovely and warm with the electric blankets and extra blankets. And we loved the effective heating.
The information about Sydney set us on the right footing & the use of the telephone was very handy. - L F-L & RG, Melbourne, 7/05

Thank you very much for your wonderful hospitality during our week in Sydney. The 'Travellers' Tips' books are a great resource and Mum's House was a comfortable, pleasant place to stay. D. & N. enjoyed their 'job' of spreading the (bird) seed each morning. Your garden offers a most peaceful haven from the hustle and bustle of Sydney and it was nice to come back to a home each day, rather than a hotel. - M & K McG & sons, Vic., 5/04

You're so close to Olympic Park and the city and we loved exploring the Asian shops nearby too.

If an owner does not comply with this clause within 30 days of a request from Stayz, Stayz reserves the right to remove the property from the Stayz website without further notice.

Stayz reserves the right to audit both the enquiries made through Stayz sites and the bookings received by a property at any time.

Guest Reviews
I took my elderly parents with me and we all had a wonderful time. We liked feeding the birds everyday and found we were not far from shops and parks and some attractions we wanted to see. It was a lovely area and not too far from the city by train. Thanks for the wonderful time.

Having 2 young boys it proved to be an ideal place to stay.
The garden was like an oasis. Anna was very welcoming.
The house was central to anywhere we wanted to go and unlike staying closer to the city there weren't the traffic hassles, we managed to go to lots of places and not once did we pay a toll - bonus.

Service and attention to all our needs couldnt have been better. Much more personal and friendly than all the "big motel groups". We will definately stay there again.
