The property is in a quiet location down a private driveway off a short dead end street close to River Road which is a main access road to Lane Cove from North Sydney and Crows Nest. The living room opens via folding doors to an undercover deck leading to the pool. The deck and pool area are well equipped with tables and comfortable chairs and a hammock. The view from this level is across bush south to the harbour. The property is private and it was hard to believe we were close to busy suburban areas.
Beyond the deck and pool, the property descends via sturdy steps to a stage with another table and chair setting before a further descent to another stage containing a tent which is a sleeping arrangement option. Our family group of 8 fitted in easily (to the property as a whole, not into the tent!). The layout of 3 bedrooms each with queen bed and en-suite was complemented by a single bed in one of the bedrooms and a folding bed in another. A family friend stayed one night boosting the number of guests to 9 without feeling crowded. Our unattached son enjoyed the tent option.
Louise provided generous quantities of tea, coffee, milk and other provisions for breakfast and nibbles. The kitchen was well equipped with appliances and utensils. Comprehensive information is provided by Louise about the property and the locality. Greenwich village shops are the closest to the property and include coffee shops, an IGA supermarket and a post office.
As we did not have our own vehicle and as the buses that passed close by (the bus stop is very close to the top of the street) are not frequent, we used taxis and Uber to get around. However 2 train stations (St Leonard's and Wollstonecraft) are within walking distance as is a ferry stop.
