This little retreat was the perfect escape from the city. Waking up to the sounds of all the birds and wildlife in the nearby National park was a nice change. John and Maryellen were very friendly and very easy to communicate with.They were incredibly accommodating and flexible with our check-in and out times. We didn't see them a lot during our stay but we knew they were around to answer any queries we might have. As described, the place is about a 40 minute train ride (services run frequently and on time) to the city, and only a 15 minute walk to the station, which made getting to and from the city (which we did a few times) still very easy and manageable. The place had everything as described but was even nicer than the photos show! Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Sydney and wanting to stay somewhere a bit more peaceful but still within easy reach of the city centre.
