Our family of four was new to Sydney and Rod's house was in the perfect location to explore during the summer holidays. The house is in near Darling Street with a wide range of bars, cafés and shops and also close to transport links and the waterfront (Dawn Fraser Baths are nearby). The house itself is unique, with beautiful period features, plants, interesting antiques and artwork and a wide range of books and magazines. We enjoyed being outside in the gardens and particularly the balcony. The bedrooms were all imaginatively and tastefully decorated and very comfortable with plenty of storage space for our 8 week stay. Rod was very helpful giving us tips about where to view the New Year fireworks and also about the Sydney Festival, which we fully utilised.
