Our family of 5 (2 adults and 3 young children) stayed at Volker's penthouse apartment for 12 nights during December 2021. I initially chose it based on location (close to work) but it offered so much more and we are delighted to write this review.
Firstly the accomodation itself has been appointed to a very high standard of style, design and comfort. From the amenities, to towels and the quality of the linen and pillows it was all done to a very high standard. The rooms were very well set up to accomodate our family of 5 and we also took up the option of a 3rd bed which was equally comfortable.
The kitchen was very well appointed and we had many meals at home (partly due to the quarantine rules in force at the time). All the cookery we needed was there in addition to a comprehensive choice of glassware (wine , champagne, espresso cups)
Moving to the entertaining areas. i must say this is where the penthouse really showed its wow factor. There are 360 degree city skyline, wooloomoolloo views. The wraparound deck has ample space for hangouts, gatherings and it extends to a spacious courtyard with bbq and table seating facilities. All done with alot of style and care. A real highlight for me was the outdoor fire place which really added the wow factor to an evening outdoor session.
Location - what can we say. You are able to feel the heartbeat of Sydney, the energy and yet you retreat to the comfort and privacy of the penthouse when you want to enjoy it with your loved ones and your friends. It really couldnt be better whether for the corporate traveller or a family.
But all this is besides the point as the real differentiating factor is the host , Volker. He really went above and beyond to respond to and accomodate questions or requests we had. i have too many examples to share (sorry Volker hope we didnt tire you out) - but one that sticks in mind is when we asked if there was a wine cooler / bucket on site. That evening when i came home after work there was a bag of items at the front door including wine bucket and other useful items.
Volker's professionalism, attentiveness and care made our family feel very welcome and we really appreciated this. it made our stay here a real highlight and it was hard to leave.
So without doubt we are very happy to leave a glowing review of our experience here.
i have no doubt that many others will continue to do so. Thanks again to Volker !
