We recently spent 11 nights at Kookaburra cottage, we chose this location as family live in Balmain, however if you are looking for reasonbly price accommodation in a nice area away from the city, this is perfect . Location is good for ferries and buses into the city . Balmain is a faboulous location for good restaurants, coffee shops and a good selection of shops .
At the time of our visit the temperature was very hot late 30 degrees every day, the cottage has air conditioning which was perfect after coming back from the heat.
There is basic kitchen equipment, kettle, toaster , microwave which was perfect for rustling up breakfast or a quick meal.
Outside space is an added bonus for this size of accomadation, morning cup of tea and evening glass of wine were often spent here.
The host was quick to respond to mails and the check in process very efficient.
I often use Airbnb as part of our Australia trips and would have no hesitation in staying at Kookaburra cottage for our next trip.
