Red and Jaq are great hosts. They make you feel welcome from the moment you step into their lovely garden. During a cup of tea they gave us the lowdown of the lovely neighbourhood of Balmain, which is really blessed with a great variety of pubs and restaurants. We appreciated the Lonely Planet, the OPAL cards and the beers :-) in the fridge. The cottage itself is clean and has everything one needs. The bed is super comfy! Furthermore the cottage has its own entrance, which gives you a great deal of privacy. We would have loved to stay a few days longer at this lovely cottage in lovely Balmain. I can't recommend this place and his hosts enough.
