Neighborhood Overview: Greenwich is a hidden gem of Sydney. It's close to the city and even closer to the restaurant districts of Lane Cove and Crows Nest. Because it's a harbourside suburb, and this is Sydney, the terrain is hilly and quite steep in parts and the views are breathtaking. The suburb has wonderful urban, green, pretension-free, harbourside vibe. It's a great place for hiking. If golf's your thing, there's a public golf course just up the road. An absolute must see is the iconic Greenwich baths, one of the few remaining Sydney Harbour public swimming baths. It you love to work your muscles, there are many parks with outdoor training facilities (the best is at the bottom of my garden), tennis courts for hire, an aquatic centre in Lane Cove, all this with great transport links to the CBD for the business traveller. What's not to like? There's a reason that most who move to Greenwich tend to trade up and stay in the vicinity rather than moves to other parts of Sydney.
Notes: SECURITY - HOUSE ALARM AND VIDEO/AUDIO SURVEILLANCE Alarm: The interior of the property is fitted with a back to base monitored alarm system. Instructions for the operation of this system are included in both the House Manual and the Arrival Directions. It is extremely simple. Please note that this system does not capture or record any visual or audio information, it simply detects motion. Exterior Surveillance: There are 3 cameras covering the exterior of the property and 1 within the non-guest area of the property which record video and audio and store and upload to the cloud in real time. Note that tampering or removing these cameras will not prevent the information already recorded from being transmitted and stored. The actual location of all exterior cameras will be shown to you at check-in. There is no surveillance inside the listing nor in the backyard/pool area. These cameras feature a two way audio feed, so I can speak to you, and you me via them if necessary. Smoking is
Transit: We have a stop for a bus travelling to the centre of Sydney at the front of the house, buses which travel up and down the nearby Pacific Highway on their way to the Sydney centre, airport, north west, northern beaches and eastern suburbs, two train stations and two ferry wharves with services to the city and Parramatta to choose from. With so much choice it gets confusing, so I advise guests to download any of the many local public transport apps to use during their stay. Our house is one of only five in Greenwich that has direct access to the Sydney Harbour foreshore and is also on the main bus route (Route 261) to the centre of Sydney. The bus stop is 60m away and the bus travels to the very centre of Sydney's CBD. We are within walking distance of St Leonards and Wollstonecraft train stations. St Leonards is a main transport hub and trains from here run to most parts of Sydney including Macquarie University. Buses from St Leonards run to the city, the northwest and also the n
Access: Guests have access to private sitting room with Foxtel IQ , kitchen, solar-heated swimming pool, BBQ area with large Weber gas BBQ, well-equipped laundry and a range of interesting and comfy outdoor dining and lounging areas with stunning views over a Sydney Harbour foreshore rainforest. There's also parking for one guest car on the property and free street parking.

House Rules: NUMBER OF GUESTS IN YOUR BOOKING I do NOT have a 'children under 2 don't count as guests and don't pay a fee' policy. Every human in your group must be included in the guest numbers and guest numbers must not exceed 2. Unfortunately, Airbnb's system will not calculate the correct guest numbers for those 2 and under. To manually override this, enter children under 2 as though they were in the 2-12 category. I require the names and ages of all guests in your group at the time you book. The guest in whose name the booking is made must be physically present at check-in unless previously agreed. CHECK-IN AND CHECK-OUT TIMES Check-in is any time after 3pm, check-out is any time before 11am. SECURITY Please close and lock all doors and windows and turn on the alarm when you're not in residence. SMOKING Smoking is allowed outside only in the designated smoking areas. POOL SAFETY Do not prop open the pool gates or door or make any attempt to override the self-closing door mechanism.

Reviewer: Natalie
Comments: So tranquil despite its central location. Felt like our own private oasis. Lots of thought has gone into this listing to make it comfortable and liveable. Lots of careful little touches that make it a lovely place to relax.
