A lovely quiet little cottage hidden behind the fences of Balmain made for a pleasant stay of 6 nights over Christmas. Convenient in the extreme with buses so close, leading to ferries or to the city, we found this to be a perfect hideaway and convenient for visiting our family nearby. We were unsettled by pesky possums and bats at night who dropped palm nuts on our roof until the problem was alleviated by host, Red, who did his best to muffle the noise by placing rubber matting on the roof. Future guests should be well served by this.
A bonus is the pub on the corner – the “Cat and Fiddle” and also the “ Darling Diner” across the road for tasty breakfasts if needed.
