We had a great one week stay at Suzanne's lovely cottage in Birchgrove. We really felt it was a home away from home.
The location is very good, it was very quiet and yet only a 10 min bus into the city and a very short and easy walk to Darling St with loads of boutique shops, cafes and restaurants.
The cottage itself is very comfortable and well heated, very roomy with all basic amenities. It also had a lovely view to the water.
I would not hesitate to recommend and book again.
