Cath and Gladys are very nice and responsive hosts, taking care of every need of us with no delay. The house itself is apparently not a luxurious villa and it is run on a cost conscious base, but it is very cozy and tidy and equipped with a functional kitchen and laundry. Very family friendly. The location is perfect, only 2 mins walking from main street. Major supermarket, nice coffee shops and restaurants, banks, post office, convenience store, clinic/hospital, water front parks, ferries and buses to city etc, you name it and they are all within 10 minutes’ walking. And Balmain is a lovely and friendly neighborhood!
