Description

An elegant 1865 sandstone hotel converted into a contemporary 3 bedroom home in the waterside suburb of Balmain just a 10 minute bus trip from the heart of the CBD.

A private, peaceful and luxurious house that can accommodate up to 6 people. On the entrance level there are 2 double bedrooms, the main opening onto a small courtyard. A modern mosaic tile bathroom with shower, bath and heated towel rail service these bedrooms. On the same level is a large studio/office with internet connection and a genuine French 'foosball table' if you wish to re-enact the world cup.

Upstairs is the open plan living, dining and kitchen with original sandstone walls, pressed metal ceilings and floor boards dating from 1865. Flooded with northern light this charming room opens onto a large covered balcony that runs the width of the house. Enjoy a quiet afternoon on the chinese daybed or in the evenings, enjoy an aperitif, dinner or cook up a feast on the BBQ. The modern fully equipped kitchen has an ILVE stove, microwave and dishwasher. A modern bathroom is also located on this level.

Or you may prefer to admire the fabulous views of the iconic harbor bridge, city and harbour from the roof garden, perfect for those evening drinks or at anytime of day. There is also a 3rd private double bedroom situated in the loft with a view onto the roof garden.

Balmain is a peninsula west of Sydney's city centre. Originally a working class suburb with a handful of wealthy merchants and industrialists. Its main industry was shipbuilding and repairs which flourished at the beginning of the 1900s. Later Balmain was 'invaded' by Bohemian types - mainly writers, artists and academics who preferred the more relaxed character of the place than the eastern suburbs. Balmain has a very long main street (Darling Street) which starts at a ferry wharf with regular services to Circular Quay and Darling Harbour. Arriving from the city, a left turn and a short walk will find you in the Illoura Reserve at Peacock Point, a pleasant spot with views back to the city and the Harbour Bridge.

The village of Balmain, which is only a 5 minute walk has a selection of boutiques, bookshops, gourmet food and specialty shops. It also well known for restaurants, cafes and pubs along with a couple of old churches and restored historic buildings.

Balmain side streets are very narrow lined with quaint restored workman's cottages. There are several markets close by on a Saturday that sell everything from vintage clothing to farm produce. But Balmain's main attraction is its atmosphere, pubs, cafes and the chance for some people-watching in a laid-back environment close to the harbour and the city. Several pubs have music on weekends and serve fine meals. It is surrounded by the harbour with many foreshore parks and the perfect location to enjoy the famed Sydney lifestyle.

A bond is payable which is refundable on check out.

  • "An absolutely awesome house.Living in country NSW Vanessa's beautiful home was our base for our daughter's wedding in Sydney.We felt so relaxed and being close to the city it was easy to organise our special day. I hope we can come back for a holiday. Thank you Vanessa"

  • "On this first visit to Australia, attending my son's wedding to a charming Sydneysider, my group of 5 felt instantly at home in Vanessa's tasteful, quiet and superbly located house. Using the ferries almost exclusively, we left the bustle of the city behind, yet had the energy of Darling Street's shops, restaurants and pubs within steps. Our only compliant? 7 nights were far too brief a stay! "
    Swift, May 2011
     
  • "We stayed here over Christmas and New Year 2010. Standing on the roof terrace at midnight, watching the fireworks over Sydney Harbour Bridge is a memory that will live with me forever. The house was wonderful, perfect location to enable us to hop on a bus or ferry and get into the centre of the City easily. Vanessa couldn't hae been more helpful and I just loved the artwork on the walls. "
    Anne, January 2011
     
  • "Vanessa the owner was so wonderful to work with and the house was absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have stayed at a more lovely location near to my best friend in Balmain! The house is on a quiet street within a block of wonderful restaurants, pubs and shopping. The whole place is artfully done and I felt really lucky to stay here!"
    Carla, January 2011
     
  • "We had a lovely stay in this 5 star house. We liked the location and it's proximity to the coffee shops and ferry ports to the city (which is a real novelty for anyone outside Sydney). The furnishings were very tasteful and artistic. The size of the house was the biggest draw, where six people could easily lose themselves and not feel too claustrophobic. Many thanks for a wonderful stay. We'd gladly recommend this to anyone considering a luxurious and individual city base. "
    Edel, December 2010
     
  • "We highly recommend The Pacific. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and very clean. It is big enough to entertain a large family group, even seating 10 comfortably for dinner. Furthermore, it is wonderfully decorated with original art and mementos. The location is walking distance from a bevvy of terrific restaurants and is ideal for rapid travel to the City, either by ferry or bus. We certainly hope it is available for our next visit!"
    Ann and Brian, July 2010
     
  • "The Pacific was a wonderful venue for us to visit family. The house is luxury plus, everything is such high quality. The house was spectacular with the view to the harbour bridge and so warm and inviting. We could not have wanted for anything more. Just can not wait to visit again."
    Susan, July 2010
     
  • "We enjoyed a wonderful 9 nights at The Pacific, what a place! The accommodation is beautifully furnished, full of character, spacious and very comfortable. The location is unbeatable, perfect for exploring Sydney with excellent public transport and an abundance of great restaurants & cafes just around the corner. The broadband connection was a nice bonus too. We will definitely be back."
    Rebecca, July 2010
     
  • "My overseas bridesmaids stayed in this house prior to the wedding and we got ready at this house on the day of the wedding. It is an amazing house with charms, characters and impressive view. We all couldn't help ourselves and fell madly in love with this house."
