I was staying here with my family (my wife and two kids 4 and 12) and I should say it was superb experience. In fact, I've got a feeling that I'm staying at my distant Australian family house rather than ordinary house for rent. Wendy is absolutely awesome host! She did our staying super comfortable, provided us with all info we needed, was very helpful. Furthermore, she helped us with our first supermarket buying and gave us a lift with her car just to make our life a bit easier. The same goes with TV that was adjusted for us to receive program's in our native language. And another million tiny lovely things from that you have this super fab feeling that you are living in a right place.
Train station is in a few minutes walk so it's very easy to commute with CBD\Beach. Plenty of supermarkets around the Kogarah train station as well as groceries and Asian restaurants. The area is multicultural, quiet and safe. Great place and terrific host!
