An amazing location and Louise has been so helpful with suggestions about places to eat and visit. Everything you could possibly need was in the house, We all felt at home, very comfortable and able to relax after a long day enjoying ourselves. Balmain is ideal to get into the centre of Sydney via a short hop 10 minutes max on the ferry which takes you directly under the Sydney harbour bridge ! fabulous , and Balmain has a host of great local restaurants, shops and bars if you don't feel like travelling to far . highly recommended .
