The windows open on to a green garden and then to the harbour. Right at the bottom of Macleay Street, this little studio is attached to a grand old Victorian mansion. Inside everything is thoughtfully done for a couple staying: good glassware and bone china, Aesop bathroom products, soft pillows, good linen, a coffee maker, a deck with view of the harbour. Wendy had good tips for dining down the street: spoiled for choice. And yet the studio is as quiet as a cabin in the woods, removed from street noise. There is off street parking but you’re also half an hour to the city through the Domain.
