Highly recommend staying with Penny and John for pretty much any reason you might visit Sydney. It's clear that they love meeting and helping the people that come to stay with them. Despite a relatively late arrival they did everything they could think of to settle me in and have what ever I might need or want to hand. The room itself is somewhat separate to the other sleeping areas of the home and is well away from the kitchen living area, so privacy and quiet is assured of an evening. It is beside Penny's little hair salon, so I expect you may hear a bit of coming and going through the day. The room is very well appointed with everything you might need for a longer stay. Penny and John are always making improvements to their lovely home, in fact it won't be long before the guest room has it's own bathroom. Very close to the airport which was initially the reason I chose this spot.
