One queen-size bedroom is located downstairs, while upstairs you’ll find two bedrooms with queen beds and a third with two singles. All four bedrooms are beautifully appointed and feature a fresh, contemporary palette, with the third bedroom offering a dedicated workspace and sunroom with a cosy two-seater setting to enjoy a morning cuppa. There are three bathrooms, one located upstairs, one downstairs, and an ensuite off the primary bedroom. All include a shower and complimentary toiletries.
Additional conveniences include a dedicated workspace, secure parking for three cars on the premises, and a washing machine and dryer. During your stay, you will have the entire house to yourself inc. the back courtyard. Please make yourself at home!

Due to local regulations, we can happily host you for up to 90 nights. Any bookings that exceed this duration will be cancelled by Vrbo.
~Long Stays~ Stays of 21 days or more will incur an additional $120 fee, charged separately, to cover the cost of a deep clean and maintain the property's cleanliness after an extended stay. In-stay cleans are available for $275 and include a full cleaning service with professionally laundered fresh linen.
~ Baby Items ~ There is a portable travel cot available at the property which we can set up for you if requested. Unless specified, the portable travel cot will be placed in the primary bedroom of the property. Note that our portable travel cots do not come with linens (sheets) or pillows. You would need to supply these items yourself. The property also has a highchair available, which we can have set up for you if requested.
~ Tiny Visitors ~ Sydney is a warm, urban city, and occasionally a bug or two may find its way inside, sometimes through a window or balcony door. This property has been professionally treated at the start of summer and a spray is provided as a backup. This can occur and is quite common in city homes, and does not reflect the cleanliness of the property.
Sustainable, refillable toiletries are provided and are intended to be reused, not discarded. These items help reduce single-use plastic waste. If any bottles are thrown away or removed, replacement costs will be charged to the guest.
Thank you for your understanding.

The property was exactly as it was shown in the booking. The communication between us and the owner work well.
Loved the property, fit our needs perfectly.
The house was spotless and extremely comfortable.
No complaints at all. I might suggest an outside light that would come on when arriving home after dark. Would have made finding the door a little bit easier. But just used our flashlights on our cell phone and it worked perfectly. Would absolutely stay again.
