As we arrived at the house immediately we were welcomed into her home with such warmth that it almost felt like our own home. Michele was even more incredible than reviews could have prepared us for. The moment we put our bags down we were offered tea, and even that was just a magnificent platter of snacks and home brewed tea from the garden herbs. The bed was so comfortable it was such a shame getting out of it in the morning. Probably the most rested sleep I have had in months. Overall the place is exactly as advertised and so pleasantly so. It is most definitely a retreat from the bustling tense city, but just a few minutes walk away is the all week entertainment of life in Newtown. Both my friend and I although only staying one day could not have been happier with our choice and we would love to go back the next time we pass by Sydney.
