It’s pretty rare to find anywhere to stay in The Rocks. This place isn’t perfect but it’s the perfect base to explore historic Sydney. The building was constructed in 1900 and has that Victorian style. Access is by stairs only but the apartment itself has been renovated with modern fittings.
Everything was clean, the bed was comfortable, there’s a washing machine and dryer and the kitchen has all mod cons. The living room couch could do with an upgrade, otherwise everything is great.
There’s no heating or cooling apart from a small air heater but we were there during mild weather so it didn’t matter. There are three historic pubs within 300 metres, each with a unique character.
The area oozes history but is just a short walk to modern Walsh Bay and not far from Circular Quay and the CBD. Highly recommended if you don’t mind stairs!
