Idler's Hill was a slice of serenity and the perfect first stop after a long journey back to Australia. The interiors are lovely, the beds are super comfy - and the deck and view over the lagoon are just wonderful.The suburban neighborhood is peaceful and family friendly, with a playground and lakeside picnic area a quick drive down the hill, and shops and cafes nearby too (though not walking distance). Tara herself is a thoughtful, gracious host and communication was never a problem. We traveled here as a family of three, including my 2.5 year old daughter, and we all loved it so much we're already planning to come back.
I would only note that this is a good way away from Syndey proper, which suited us perfectly, as we never went in! And with linen curtains in each room, eye shades are a good thing to bring.
