    Shower cold tap was a bit hard to use. Place had a strange odour upon arrival (near the kitchen), but was fine once we opened up the doors to air the place out.

    Location was fantastic, good sized property, host was easy to get a hold of and responsive

    • Stayed 1 night

    Two bedrooms are downstairs along with the bathroom. The third bedroom is upstairs and there's no bathroom or powder room up there. So, bit of a trek if you have to get up at night. Also, only two dining chairs at the table in the kitchen (which is also upstairs). Understand this is probably a space thing but that meant we couldn't sit at the table together.

    The property is in a great location - easy access to Circular Quay and other attractions. Communications with the host were straightforward and easy and all our questions answered. Three generous bedrooms, nicely appointed and most amenities provided in the kitchen. Has a laundry, which was a bonus (although we didn't use). Has a nice balcony which, again, we didn't use but would be nice.

    One toilet in the bathroom required sharing, but that is OK. It was a bit muggy-sometimes cooler outside than in.

    Location was excellent-able to walk to all parts of the Rocks easily. The house was comfortable in terms of beds, space, lounge and more. Kitchen and laundry were well-equipped.

    We loved our historical Cottage stay! The Cottage was so sweet and full of character, very clean and well set up for visitors. Everything we needed for our stay was provided, and there was great communication with Stephanie our host- who thoughtfully sent links to all that was on offer to do and see in Sydney. It was a real treat to stay right in the heart of the historical Rocks area- a wonderful location, with access to plenty of transport options, museums, lots of little streets to explore, a weekend market, surrounded by restaurants, nearby cafes, and pubs.

    There are a lot of stairs to get to the unit. Lugging one's suitcase could be rather taxing if you are physically able. Suggest catching a taxi to the location. It doesn't have a/c and it was a hot week so a bit uncomfortable at times.

    Location, location, location. Great spot albeit a little hard to find originally. Clean, bright and cosy. Managers were easy to contact and helped us out when we asked.

    effortless process. location amazing. house was lovely and full of character.

    Amazing stay at the rocks ! This property is in an great location and feels like a home away from home ! So easy to communicate with and they were so accommodating when we asked for an early check in and they even let us leave our bags at the property until our flight home. Would highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Sydney

    Really hard to fault at the price point which was great value over the long weekend! You do need to be mindful of the single bathroom but we found it quite manageable and everything else more than compensated.

    A really cute house, with cool furnishings, comfy beds and a well stocked wine glass selection - in an amazing location. It was perfect for my milestone birthday group weekend away.

    Nothing, it was as expected and we did have an issue with a light switch in the bathroom but it was fixed the next morning when we advised the host. Very responsive.

    The location in the Rocks is fantastic, really close to everything but nice and quiet of an evening. The terrace is well appointed with very comfy beds. If you don't like stairs then this is probably not the place for you. But if your happy with stairs then this is a fantastic terrace in a great spot. The hosts were very accommodating and responsive and even let us keep our bags there on the day we were leaving as our flight was late in the day.
