  • Reviewer: Bev

    Comments: Beautiful house, very well presented and clean. Large bedrooms and comfortable living areas. Large back verandah was an ideal gathering space for our family weekend, we could eat and sit comfortably out there during the evening. 10 min walk to coffee, cafes etc or hop onto Ferry for further afield. Highly recommend

  • Reviewer: Kelly

    Comments: Clean, homely and the owners were extremely nice and helpful. Would recommend.

  • Reviewer: Marni

    Comments: This place was lovely and was great for our family with young kids. It would also be a fabulous entertaining space out the back decking and backyard for entertaining a group. The house has two living areas, the front room and back deck which is well contained and warm for day to day meals and living also. Both the caretakers and owners were very attentive to our requests and communication. This place has everything you need to be very comfortable. The place was super clean and tidy, everything as the pictures show. We loved our stay, thank you!

  • Reviewer: Stella

    Comments: This house is very nice especially suitable for family with young kids. Our kids love the trampoline very much. We love the outdoor living space, this area is excellent and out of our expectation. We enjoyed staying there for meal and entertainment. It is very good to have a heater there, very comfortable! The spa in the outdoor area is also good for us to relax. The location is convenient , only a few minutes walk to take ferry. Everything is true as they described. Only thing was that the dishwasher was out of order and reported on the second day of our stay. Although we were kept inform that they were trying to fix it, it was not fixed at the end of our nine days stay. It was quite inconvenient for us as we cooked everyday and we have 8 people to dine. Anyway would recommend.

    Comments: What a beautiful home! Franca and Allessio were wonderful hosts, answering quickly and so helpful when we had questions. The bedrooms were all well appointed and comfortable, the kitchen had plenty of crockery and glassware, and everything was clean and tidy! The outdoor space was wonderful and warm and great for relaxing as a group. The house is in a great location close to lots of things but far enough from the city to be quiet. We loved staying here :)

    Comments: This is an amazing gem at Drummoyne. The house is spectacular and has all the essentials for a big group of people. Franca and Alessio are very accommodating and great people. They were able to accomodate us on Boxing Day as we had two last minute cancellations. I can’t recommend them enough. I will definitely be back.

  • Reviewer: Huang

    Comments: old house with much amenities and great location if you are driving.

  • Reviewer: Nathan

    Comments: Very nice house built in the 1920's located in the Drummoyne neighborhood. This is a close-in suburb to Sydney - only a few miles, but about 30-45 minutes by car, depending on traffic. There is on-site parking for 2+ cars, which is really nice, although street parking was easy to find in the neighborhood as well. Close to cycling/walking paths that run all over the area. The house is in great shape and has a very nice outdoor living area that we enjoyed. There were a lot of board games in a closet, which was a plus for our kids. I'd definitely stay here again.
