I booked the studio for 3 week for my honeymoon! I wouldn't have asked for more. It is a perfect 5 star studio room with all the privacy you need with access to a private swimming pool. There is a private entrance and we will be on our own. The best value for what I have paid. The house is at a tranquil location on the foots of Royal National Park at Kirawee. On a rainy day, you feel like you are at a hill station. At morning the birds will wake you up at 7.30 AM and in the nights you will hear crickets. A true bush stay experience. You get the home as you see in the photographs and won't find any spots in the home. John and Maryellen are perfect host. On the day of my arrival, they welcomed me with a drink and offered me a ride to show around the suburbs. The studio kitchen has serials and other supplies for your breakfast. For other light cooking, they had a electric pan. Also please be aware the home is 14 minutes walk from railway station and if you are not used to walk, it will be difficult. But for us it is OK. I will definitely recommended it to my friends.

And thanks to John for dropping me over the station on my check out. It is a very memorable stay and thanks a lot.

Since John and Maryellen don't have much experience in using Sydney public transports, I would like to give some ideas

If you are coming from overseas and want to go to Kirawee, there are two options

1) Get a train ticket to Kirawee. It is not a direct train. You have to go to Wolli creek and change at Wooli creek. This may be the direct way, But I wouldn't recommend it for two reasons. One, there is a airport railway station access fee of $15 and it would be costly for someone who is on their limited budgets. Secondly between 4.00 PM to 6.00 PM there are no trains to Kirawee that stops at Wolli Creek station. Otherwise it is OK.

2) The other way around is, get a 400 bus that goes to Burwood and get down at Rockdale. The bus stop at Rockdale is in front of railway station. And get a train to Kirawee from Rockdale. I would recommend to get a myzone 2 or 3 ticket for a week/ month if you don't have your own car. The ticket will give you unlimited travel on Sydney suburbs except airport stations on train, buses including airport stations and all ferries for the period of one week / month based on your purchase. The tickets are available at the railway station counter at the airport. But please mention you don't need station access while purchasing for this option.

Pleas feel free to contact me if you need any information.
