Family Visit

My son and I were visiting with my daughter and Her family. The rental apartment we stayed at was excellent and the owners, Tracey and Ross Hawthorne, provided the most excellent service. The apartment was clean, modern and provided with many amenities. I would whole heartly recommend this apartment for anyone staying in or about the Thornleigh/Sydney area.

Self isolation stay

We were a family of 2 adults and 2 young boys of 3 & 6. This apartment was perfect for active little boys with a back verandah and grassy backyard. Tracey was such a gracious host and provided an additional child stool and water jugs upon request. Ample equipment for making meals with. Foldable bed wasn’t too stable but we simply put the mattress on the floor ( in the boys bedroom as they don’t share a bed). Ample blankets and bed linen for use around the house. Aside from this the only challenge was moving our heavy bags up and down the stairs to the apartment entrance (we had packed to stay a month). It was a cold summer when we arrived but there were heaters to warm us up with. Kids books and board games were stored in the tv console along with novels and travel books. The room doors were a little sticky to open and close which is something that can be fixed for future. It’s a beautiful apartment, very modern and tastefully decorated. Perfect guesthouse for short to medium length stays. Highly recommended.

Faultless home from home

My friend and I stayed at the property after leaving Melbourne before the last lockdown when we were stuck in Sydney. The apartment was nicer than the pictures showed, was absolutely spotless and Tracey had thought of everything - right down to tupperware containers, laundry detergent and spare slippers. Very easy to find, about 10-15 minutes walk to the train station. Private and peaceful. It was winter so we didn't get to enjoy the bbq and outdoor seating but that would be great in summer. There were some lovely bush walks right on the doorstep and a supermarket just up the road. Comfy beds and bedding, fluffy towels, I literally cannot find a single fault.

Perfect stay

We had an extremely positive experience renting this property and dealing with the owner, Tracey. She was welcoming, friendly and responded immediately and kindly to all of our questions and requests. The property is very comfortable, well appointed, stylish, cozy, luminous, quiet. The bedding is comfortable. Nothing was lacking. The location is a fifteen minute walk to the Thornleigh train station (itself a thirty minute train ride to Downtown Sydney) which was very convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Tracey Hawthorne

We love to travel and our preference is private, self catering accommodation - somewhere that feels like home after a busy day exploring.

At Kookaburra Place we have tried to include all the amenities and thoughtful little extras that delight us when we travel: books, big fluffy towels, good coffee, comfortable beds, free wi-fi and a desk for your laptop.

Of course, if there is anything we've overlooked that will make your stay more enjoyable, please do let us know.

I hold current National Police Clearance and a Working With Children Check.
