Fantastic place. Georgious views in every room. We could have stayed all day and all night watching the boats and ferries outside from the appartement. Truly mesmerizing! The Birchgrove/Balmain area is very charming and you can literally take the ferry to Circular Quay in Sydney right at the bottom. Not to mention that taking the ferry there during the day or at night is such a unique and magical experience (It seems that this ferry is never crowded..)
If you manage to book this wonderful place, I can guarantee you'll have no regrets. To top it up, Gary is quite a helpful host.
