This really is a quiet Bushland Retreat as the name states. When you gaze out the windows at the creek tinkling through the gardens below, it's hard to believe you're only 12 minutes from the Sydney CBD, by the bus at the end of the street.
The self-contained apartment has been newly renovated, with a very modern bathroom and kitchen. Everything is fresh and extremely clean.
My friendly host Peta welcomed me with a clear explanation of how everything worked, and surprised me with the large variety of breakfast options supplied. And if anything ran out she replaced it immediately.
The locale is worth exploring if you like the outdoors. Just go to the other end of the street and you enter a beautiful 2 kilometre bush walking trail, which takes you all the way to Fig Tree Cove, with expansive views of Middle Harbour, one of the great Sydney waterways.
So, if you're looking for a quiet "retreat" just north of the city, this should suit you perfectly.
