About this property

Waterview terrace in rock

This charming heritage terrace offers three well-appointed bedrooms, including one with a king-size bed, one with a queen-size bed, and a third bedroom featuring two king single beds.

The home includes a comfortable sitting room, as well as a modern kitchen and dining area located on the basement level for your convenience. There are two bathrooms with toilets, along with a front-load washing machine and dryer available for guest use.

Guests can enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi, full kitchen facilities, TVs, and a hair dryer. Complimentary use of the laundry facilities is also provided.

This property is ideal for two families or groups travelling together, whether with children or adults. Thanks to its prime location in the heart of Sydney CBD, it is perfect for families wishing to explore the city, as well as business travellers looking to reduce accommodation costs by booking staff together for meetings or conferences in the city.

This rare and unique heritage terrace lies in the north-western edge of the Sydney CBD,adjacent to The rocks and a short stroll from Walsh Bay. Modern Cafes and beautiful restaurants to suit every taste surround it. You must try the best steak at our favourite place,The cut,and the best coffee or breakfast at the Fine-Store just a stone`s throw away. You can even plan dinner and drinks at the renowned sake restaurant. The best restaurant in Sydney The Quay is walking distance away for special occasions and anniversaries. The Sydney Theatre,Museums and art galleries are all within walking distance.The weekend market at the Rocks is a perfect stop for souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones back home. You are just moments away from the Sydney Opera house and harbour views.Whilst members of your family can shop in the CBD nearby( George and Pitt Street),others can try a pub-crawl at the two oldest surviving pubs in Sydney,the Lord Nelson and the Fortune of War.

The Barangaroo Headland Park opened recently and is a great place to chill out by the harbour or let the kids play on the grass. A great place for picnic or BBQ, or simply watching the sunset.

It`s also a lovely spot to come home and get away for the pace of the city.Wander around the streets and try not to fall in love with this place.

If you`re visiting for work, who cares about traffic or the bothers of public transport when it`s just an easy walk to & from the office!

We love this location - all of Sydney`s best is on our doorstep and it allows each day to be enjoyed fully. We hope your stay at the house can be equally enjoyable. The public transport network in Sydney is not great and taxis are expensive, so in this location we can live stress-free and take in all of the wonderful things that life in Sydney has to offer.

The location of the apartment was great. Easy walk to The Rocks, the bridge, and Circular Quay. We enjoyed the beautiful parkland around the Barangaroo area. The apartment itself was clean but was set over three levels with steep stairs between each. Not appropriate for young children or older people who could potentially fall. The kitchen was not very well equipped and they didn't provide hand towels or tea towels. The beds were comfortable and there was air conditioning in each room. It was reasonable but not great accommodation.

Great location within walking distance to numerous attractions. Met our needs in terms of number of beds and facilities available. It was a bit tricky to access the property via the back alleyway as it is difficult for cars to go through there.

Brilliant location and exceptionally comfortable digs

This place was exactly what we were looking for. It had enough beds for the each of us. And boy, the beds were comfortable! The stairs are a bit tricky, but the character to this old, well kept home was beyond charming. The location was amazing. A water view from one of the bedrooms. A few minutes walk and we were in The Rocks, Circular Quay, and in about 15 minutes we were the heart of the CBD. We recommend this to any and all who are wanting to experience Sydney.

This property was a real let down. First impressions count and the host had us come through the alley way which wasn't the most aesthetically pleasing with garbage everywhere. Once we got into the property there was a live cockroach floundering on his back right inside the door. With a walk thru of the property, we discovered that it was on 3 floors which we did not expect. We are all seniors and the steep stairs made it difficult for us to navigate. I could not find anywhere in the listing that it was multi-level. This definitely needs to be highlighted. Also, during our walk thru the property appeared to be dirty. The walls have black soot like marks, the stair railings were filthy. We did have to wash them so that we could use the railings. Finally, 2 keys were provided to the property. Only one worked to open the front door.

Staying at the rocks

The location of this property was excellent for us as we were catching a cruise boat. We were able to walk from the property to the Cruise Terminal also to the Opera house. It wasn’t easy getting into the place but we sorted it out the layout of the place was good and the kitchen and bathrooms were very good.

While the location of this property is excellent, the home itself is poorly maintained and in need of significant repairs and a thorough professional cleaning. During our mid-January stay, Sydney experienced several days of heavy rain, which exposed serious water-intrusion problems. Water flowed in through the front door onto the hardwood floors, and there were multiple ceiling leaks in the third-floor bedrooms—one of which was actively dripping onto a cellphone in the middle of the night. We also encountered ants in the front third-floor bedroom. The stairwell is visibly neglected and requires deep cleaning and repainting; marks and residue from previous guests are evident along the steep steps. Throughout our stay, the house had a persistent moldy, musty odor, raising concerns about overall cleanliness and moisture damage. This home should not be offered on VRBO. I've requested a refund of one night's rental fee but have not heard from the owner. DO NOT stay here.

The 2 bedroom upstairs the mattress was ok, but the mattress downstairs was terrible for my back.Both shower was fine, but the windows in the 2 single bed was hard to open and an hazard. Wonderful location and view, but to improve.

Charming home

The house has a cute layout. The back door entrance lets you into the kitchen and dining area. There is a bed and bathroom on this level. The front door enters into the 2nd level living room area, with the second bath on this level. The third level has two bedrooms. The stairs are steep and narrow. It was very clean, and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again. It’s a great location.

Classic old terrace

The location was unreal. As other reviews have said, there are two steep flights of stairs but this was no problem. Everything works andxthe house coped with 30mm of rain in 15 minutes!! The only thing I thought could be mentioned is that the tv isn't a smart tv but in this modern device age that wasn't a problem.

Great location

We had a great stay. Parking can be tricky but Lisa assisted with arranging permit for 2 of the 3 days stay. Beds were comfortable. House could do with a bit of TLC mainly in the courtyard area and some upgrading of facilities such as providing an outdoor setting. These old houses can be tricky for smaller children or people with mobility issues due to the very steep and narrow steps so keep this in mind. Front door can only be locked with a key meaning that when I wanted to go out I either had to leave without a key or leave the people at home locked in. Would stay here again!
