About this property

Live like a local in the heart of Surry Hills

Our Neighbourhood
Your boutique suite is located in one of the suburb's most prized rows of Terraces, known as the Paris end of Surry Hills. Step out the front door to enjoy the many delights of the neighbourhood. More than a nightlife, foodie and shopping destination, Surry Hills lays claim to being Sydney’s most eclectic and intriguing village. 

The space
While located within a heritage building, the room has been updated with modern fixings allowing you to live like a local, while enjoying hotel-style comforts.

The suite’s 26m2 floor plan includes an ensuite bathroom, bar fridge, kettle, free wifi and a 55-inch smart TV for streaming your own Netflix, Apple, Stan, Prime, Binge, Spotify etc.

Enjoy a morning coffee from the Nespresso machine or choose from an abundance of local cafes, including the original Bourke Street Bakery or the coffee aficionados at Artificer.

Come home at the end of a busy day of exploring or working to a comfortable king-sized bed with luxurious French linens and towels provided. 

The ensuite bathroom includes a shower and WC. Quality guest amenities provided include AESOP shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand wash, body lotion, toilet paper, tissues and paper towels. A door to the WC has been recently installed for added privacy.

An additional King Size Single bed is available to be made up on request for a 3rd guest or friends travelling together.

The room maintains a pleasant temperature throughout the seasons and has a powerful ceiling fan and underfloor heating. There is no Air Conditioning.

Travelling for business? The new Sydney eastern light rail is a short stroll away and will take you direct to Circular Quay via Sydney Central Station or to Sydney’s eastern suburbs in the other direction. Located 10 minutes from the city and 15 minutes from Sydney's domestic and international airports, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more central location.

With the new Allianz Stadium, Sydney Cricket Ground, Fox Studios, Hordern Pavillion and Moore Park Golf Course (with a driving range) all within short walking distance, you will not need a car for this visit! 

For your safety, security cameras are located at the entry doors external to this property.

Perfect accomodation for 3 days
Senta and her family is a very friendly host. The location of the accomodation is great in the centre of Surry. The accomodation was clean and furnished very nice. The bottle of vine was the highlight of welcome. Thanks a lot, also for good hints.

Great Place, Great Location
Stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Location was ideal for our stay, with easy access to city and Moore Park stadiums. Neighbourhood was a quiet pocket of an otherwise, vibrant suburb, with a wide range of restaurants, cafes and pubs. Accommodation was well appointed and spotless, with some nice touches added by our host. Also, from a practical perspective, two really important considerations - the bed was huge and very comfortable, the shower was hot with good water pressure. We’d happily stay again.

Fantastic property and Beat Host Ever!
The property is completely as advertised, great little spot in an awesome corner of Sydney, a real neighbourhood. Great spots to eat and transit close by enabled us to get to Bondi, Watson's Bay, and the Harbour Front/Rocks. But Ssenta, your host is the most thoughtful and helpful host we have ever had. Even though she was on vacation with her fam, she checked in with us to make sure we were ok and finding our way around. When I asked about places to eat, she provided a long list, they were all lovely places (we didn't have time to eat at them all but walked by several that looked really good). Honestly, she couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful, genuinely wanted us to enjoy the bezt of Sydney. This was a great start to our Australian adventure, and o e of bezt stays anywhere, I can't recommend this property, and our host, highly enough.

Exceeded Expectations
I had not been to Sydney for over 20 years and had never stayed in Surrey Hills. I came to check out the city and go to a few World Cup soccer games. Upon arrival, my host made sure that I was comfortable and well-informed about the area. I was welcomed with snacks and a bottle of wine. The snacks saved me because my flight came in so late and I had had nothing to eat. My host, Senta, kept in touch with me throughout my stay, and made sure that all of my questions were answered. She provided me with adapters for the outlets, amazing coffee, and even left me a bakery item on the doorstep that first morning. I unfortunately got sick one night, and Setna went above and beyond, leaving tea to settle my tummy and hydration tablets on my doorstep! The bed was so perfectly comfortable and warm, and the room was so relaxing. I was able to get into vacation mode the moment I walked in the door, The storage space was also fantastic, because I didn’t have to continue to go through my bags throughout my stay. Discovering Surrey Hills, and the surrounding area was quite easy. I could easily walk downtown, and even to one of the soccer venues. Surrey Hills is a very friendly neighborhood. I felt safe traveling alone and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful home and leaving me with wonderful memories of a beautiful city.
