A stunning room, glorious gardens and central location close to everything on Sydney's lower north shore – what more could you ask?
The walk up the stairs to the front of the house from the street could have been challenging but Rob & Desley offered us access to their private lift when we needed a hand. The reverse-cycle, air-conditioned apartment-actual was sunny and well appointed, having a separate living room with Foxtel and flatscreen adjacent the spacious bedroom with its period furniture and 55-inch flat-screen HDTV. A private, outside sitting area with gas BBQ was also at our disposal.
A full bath in the bathroom, a dining area, kitchen with fridge, stove, oven and microwave (and even a coffee machine) rounded out the interior appointments. Not that we needed the Nespresso because it's just a 5-minute walk to the local shops that included a great cafe, supermarket, fish & chip shop and liquor store.
One of the joys of this place is its spaciousness, inside and out. We enjoyed many moments relaxing in the elevated garden listening to the water feature and spotting birds and wildlife.
For those without a car, the train is about an 8-minute walk and will take you north or south (about 20 minutes into the city, half that to North Sydney).
This was a cozy, comforting and relaxing place to stay. Our only regret was when it came time for us to leave.
