Lovely house in a great location

We loved our stay in Marika's lovely house. The location is great, close to restaurants, pubs and shops. Ferry and bus stop 5 minutes walk away, giving access to the whole city. The views from the house were great and the house had everything we needed. Marika always responded quickly and was a great host.

Gorgeous Views, Quiet Area

We enjoyed our stay at Balmain East. The home has a beautiful view, and is very close to the ferry wharf. The area is quiet and feels very safe. We found the beds to be comfortable. Marika was very easy to communicate with both prior to and during the stay. The home is well suited to families.

Marika was wonderful to work with and the house has a spectacular view! We had a fantastic multi-generational visit (pets included). We felt a few of the mattresses could have been updated as well as the barbeque. The only downside was the construction going on next door, of which we were not advised. It started at 7am and stopped about 5pm. A few of us were having a working holiday and this made it hard to listen to all day. That said, it is a beautiful location and a fantastic neighbourhood and a lovely home.

Thank you so much for your kind words—I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the views, and had a special multi-generational stay (pets included 😊). I truly appreciate your feedback as well. I’m sorry to hear that the mattresses and barbeque didn’t meet expectations—this is helpful and I will definitely look into updating these. Regarding the construction next door, I completely understand how disruptive that must have been, especially while trying to work. I’m honestly not happy about the situation either. Unfortunately, anything happening outside the property is out of my control, and I wasn’t given clear notice myself. I can only hope the works will be finished soon. Thank you again for your stay and for taking the time to share your thoughts—it’s genuinely appreciated.

The weather in Sydney was awful but what made the week was the fantastic property. We all absolutely loved the views and it felt like home from home. The ferry to Sydney was so close and easy to use! The owners son was so helpful, nothing was too much trouble. We cannot recommend the house highly enough (and we don’t usually leave reviews). A very special time in a special property!

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful house. It had a wonderful view and was in a nice quiet location.We were pondering the need for a car but found the public transport very good. Just a short walk to the ferry that takes you into the city where trains and buses were aplenty.The house had everything we could need and our host Marika was very helpful indeed. Definitely happy to recommend this house to future visitors.Worthy of note is that the lower floor is pretty much a self contained apartment in its own right. Great for the family dynamic we were travelling with.

We had a fabulous stay at the property. Marika couldn’t have been more helpful and the set up of the house worked really well for our 3 families staying there. The position is fantastic and very easy to access public transport. Parking at the house is a little tricky especially if you have a large car but Marika gave us advice where to park that was very convenient. Marika provided a generous food start up, the kitchen was very generously set up and it was great to have a laundry with an indoor clothes line. The views over the Harbour are stunning!

Amazing Property

If you are looking at this property you need to book it now. Amazing house in an amazing location. You will not be disappointed from first booking to any questions we had Marika could not do enough for us. This is a special place with all you could ask for. Beyond clean and filled with beautiful furnishings and linen. We felt very privileged to stay here and will absolutely be booking a return stay. Thank you so much.
