If you want to stay somewhere quiet, comfortable and cosy then this is perfect. In a small town with lots of shops up the road you can easily grab the ferry and cruise around to where you need in the harbour. Balmain East is a 20 minute brisk walk and was the most useful for us to get to Darling Harbour and we thoroughly enjoyed the trip each day. Lindsay and Minnie provide lots of useful information if you’ve never visited before and clearly care about the comfort of their guests. We are dearly missing being there already.
