About this property

Waterview terrace in rock

This charming heritage terrace offers three well-appointed bedrooms, including one with a king-size bed, one with a queen-size bed, and a third bedroom featuring two king single beds.

The home includes a comfortable sitting room, as well as a modern kitchen and dining area located on the basement level for your convenience. There are two bathrooms with toilets, along with a front-load washing machine and dryer available for guest use.

Guests can enjoy free unlimited Wi-Fi, full kitchen facilities, TVs, and a hair dryer. Complimentary use of the laundry facilities is also provided.

This property is ideal for two families or groups travelling together, whether with children or adults. Thanks to its prime location in the heart of Sydney CBD, it is perfect for families wishing to explore the city, as well as business travellers looking to reduce accommodation costs by booking staff together for meetings or conferences in the city.

This rare and unique heritage terrace lies in the north-western edge of the Sydney CBD,adjacent to The rocks and a short stroll from Walsh Bay. Modern Cafes and beautiful restaurants to suit every taste surround it. You must try the best steak at our favourite place,The cut,and the best coffee or breakfast at the Fine-Store just a stone`s throw away. You can even plan dinner and drinks at the renowned sake restaurant. The best restaurant in Sydney The Quay is walking distance away for special occasions and anniversaries. The Sydney Theatre,Museums and art galleries are all within walking distance.The weekend market at the Rocks is a perfect stop for souvenirs and gifts for your loved ones back home. You are just moments away from the Sydney Opera house and harbour views.Whilst members of your family can shop in the CBD nearby( George and Pitt Street),others can try a pub-crawl at the two oldest surviving pubs in Sydney,the Lord Nelson and the Fortune of War.

The Barangaroo Headland Park opened recently and is a great place to chill out by the harbour or let the kids play on the grass. A great place for picnic or BBQ, or simply watching the sunset.

It`s also a lovely spot to come home and get away for the pace of the city.Wander around the streets and try not to fall in love with this place.

If you`re visiting for work, who cares about traffic or the bothers of public transport when it`s just an easy walk to & from the office!

We love this location - all of Sydney`s best is on our doorstep and it allows each day to be enjoyed fully. We hope your stay at the house can be equally enjoyable. The public transport network in Sydney is not great and taxis are expensive, so in this location we can live stress-free and take in all of the wonderful things that life in Sydney has to offer.

Great location within walking distance to numerous attractions. Met our needs in terms of number of beds and facilities available. It was a bit tricky to access the property via the back alleyway as it is difficult for cars to go through there.

Brilliant location and exceptionally comfortable digs

This place was exactly what we were looking for. It had enough beds for the each of us. And boy, the beds were comfortable! The stairs are a bit tricky, but the character to this old, well kept home was beyond charming. The location was amazing. A water view from one of the bedrooms. A few minutes walk and we were in The Rocks, Circular Quay, and in about 15 minutes we were the heart of the CBD. We recommend this to any and all who are wanting to experience Sydney.

The house was near the CBD and In a wonderful position. The house was partially clean and the air conditioners were full of dust inside in the filter with difficulty to pump warm air. The 2 bedroom upstairs the mattress was ok, but the mattress downstairs was terrible for my back.Both shower was fine, but the windows in the 2 single bed was hard to open and an hazard. Wonderful location and view, but to improve.

Staying at the rocks

The location of this property was excellent for us as we were catching a cruise boat. We were able to walk from the property to the Cruise Terminal also to the Opera house. It wasn’t easy getting into the place but we sorted it out the layout of the place was good and the kitchen and bathrooms were very good.

Charming home

The house has a cute layout. The back door entrance lets you into the kitchen and dining area. There is a bed and bathroom on this level. The front door enters into the 2nd level living room area, with the second bath on this level. The third level has two bedrooms. The stairs are steep and narrow. It was very clean, and the host was very responsive to any questions we had. Would stay here again. It’s a great location.

Classic old terrace

The location was unreal. As other reviews have said, there are two steep flights of stairs but this was no problem. Everything works andxthe house coped with 30mm of rain in 15 minutes!! The only thing I thought could be mentioned is that the tv isn't a smart tv but in this modern device age that wasn't a problem.

Black Mold, musty and Safety Issues•First thing that you notice when entering is the overwhelming smell of Must/Mold. Look straight up from the back door and you’ll see the mold from the leaking roof. •Owner used wall tiles instead of floor tiles on the bathroom/shower floor; slipping hazard•Front door is double keyed and is difficult to lock/unlock. On average it takes 30 seconds to turn the bolt. The front door also has no weather stripping. It’s a busy sidewalk out front and you will hear the people outside as though they are in the living room with you.•The beds sit directly on the floor. Be prepared for insects in the bed•Hot water runs out after 5 to 10 minutes•The only heat/AC are in the 3 bedrooms.

We loved our stay. There was a lot of room and it was warm. The heat pumps are great! It was easy to walk to the train station or corner shop and close to the city centre. The stairs are a little narrow and there’s 2 lots of them so I wouldn’t recommend for anybody that couldn’t do stairs but other than that we had a lovely stay, it has everything you need in it and it was very nice and clean.

The location of this property is the best part about it. Easy walk to the Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and the hustle and bustle of The Rocks and Circular Quay. Communication with the owner was a bit challenging. Not sure if that was a VRBO site thing or if they just chose to not respond when I tried to contact them before our booking.

Great location

We had a great stay. Parking can be tricky but Lisa assisted with arranging permit for 2 of the 3 days stay. Beds were comfortable. House could do with a bit of TLC mainly in the courtyard area and some upgrading of facilities such as providing an outdoor setting. These old houses can be tricky for smaller children or people with mobility issues due to the very steep and narrow steps so keep this in mind. Front door can only be locked with a key meaning that when I wanted to go out I either had to leave without a key or leave the people at home locked in. Would stay here again!

Great Location

The location is perfect for a weekend in Sydney- easy to walk to Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. The location is what you’re paying for as the house itself is a bit dated and amenities super basic. Only bath towels provided and these were the thin type with some of them having Playboy on them! Extra pillows in cupboards but no pillowcases. Hot water in the middle level bathroom very temperamental. We were there on a hot weekend and the house was hot- just one small fan in the lounge but thankfully aircon in the bedrooms which worked well. Overall we enjoyed our stay but for the price, don’t expect luxury.

Passable but disappointed.

The pictures doesn't reflect the reality. The house need some repairs and a good coat of paint. The stairs aren't just steep but also very narrow. And the backyard was full a weeds, not a place you would like to have a nice coffee or a glass of wine. But the location was great.

This property does not match the description or photos and is in very poor condition. The house was very dirty and not at all suitable for anyone with mobility issues. There is no mention about the steep stairs on the ad and I think this needs to be disclosed, the listed property compared to the actual property is very different and not in a good way. It also advises that there is parking on site. There is no parking. The cupboards were broken and the oven didn’t work.

Misleading description

Older travellers beware. This property has very steep and narrow stairs. Floor plan is this: kitchen, dining area, bed and bath on lower level. Street level is 2nd floor which has a livingroom and bathroom. 3rd floor is only 2 bedrooms. If you need frequent nighttime bathroom visits, using that steep stairs to get to the bathroom is not easy. Also, the beautiful view of the bay is from the third floor, while sitting on the edge of the bed, looking out the window. The backyard needs some serious upkeep. We found a broken cabinet, weeds everywhere, and an ancient cafe table set, surrounded by a high fence, no view. However, ending on a positive note, the location was excellent.
