We had a fabulous extended stay at Vanessa’s lovely home. It is in a quiet and elegant neighbourhood close to everything - a short easy walk to coffee shops, restaurants, supermarkets and shops of every description, plus frequent buses to the city. We had a car and enjoyed the convenient off street parking. It is easy to access freeways across the Harbour Bridge and out of Sydney from Vanessa’s home, We loved being able to drive 3 minutes and park at the Hayes St Wharf and jump on the frequent ferries into the centre of Sydney. It is also an easy downhill walk to this wharf (and another) - and a gentle stroll home (15 mins at a leisurely pace). Vanessa has a talent for decorating and her home is styled in sophisticated Hampton flair with a sleek contemporary edge. The garden is gorgeous with box hedges and a burbling fountain in the front to a delightful private courtyard garden in the back. Every little detail has been thought through for her guests’ comfort, from the champagne and wine, the breakfast provisions, beautiful bath products, and the helpful information folder. Very comfortable beds, beautiful sofas in two living areas, everything you need in the kitchen. Vanessa was always able to answer questions and help but never intrusive. Truly a delightful stay and a wonderful hostess.
