We spent 8 nights at Don's house and we would certainly return if circumstances permit. Don and his family are lovely people! The location is amazing for people who love nature. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the deck outside surrounded by the beautiful trees. There were so many exotic birds to see and hear! In the evenings, we also enjoyed watching the antics of several possums.
Our room was large and the bed was comfortable. It is peaceful and quiet (except for the sounds of some early birds which we enjoyed).
We were able to explore Sydney and area from Don's house using a variety of types of public transit including buses, trains, and ferries.
But, it was also very nice to just stay at home. Don is an artist and there are many colourful stained glass windows and lamps. His artistry extends outdoors to his gardens which are full of interesting and beautiful statues.
Best of all was the wonderful hospitality of Don and his wife Rachel. We spent a lot of time engaged in interesting conversations. We appreciated their advice and tips for visiting the sights of Sydney and also the Blue Mountains.
Thank you, Don and Rachel! We appreciate all you did for us!!
