As expats who once lived on the Northern Beaches, what I was looking for was a place that felt like our own little home away from home for the 3 weeks we were in Sydney visiting family and friends. I found it at the cottage. Stepping through the little white picket fence I immediately congratulated myself for choosing this place. I stayed with my 2 young sons and we were warm and cosy the whole time we stayed in wintery Sydney. Felicity is warm and helpful but always maintains just enough of a distance to give you the privacy you want from an Air bnb. She's such a fantastic host. I can't really give any critiques because we had the perfect stay here. It's a great location for getting to the city (we had a car during our stay but there's a bus stop nearby) as well as to Manly, Warringah and the rest of the beaches. It has everything you need to make meals, wash and dry clothes and is great for longer term stays. Our plans changed at the end of our original stay and I didn't hesitate to extend our stay at the cottage. This Air bnb will be our go-to whenever we're back in Sydney from now on. Highly recommend!
