The little cottage at Birchgrove offers both character and personal touches from the hosts such as wine, chocolates and flowers. The small garden is both private and shady, a welcome relief on warm days.
If you are a keen walker, then a short stroll down to Mort Park and wharf allow you to discover the local charm of character cottages, green spaces with waterside beaches as well as the option to catch the ferry and relax on a trip around the vast expanse of Sydney harbour. The views from any angle are spectacular with the iconic bridge and opera house.
This is a perfect base from which to explore the area or simply enjoy the local amenities, a five minute stroll away in Balmain itself with relaxing cafes and places to eat.
