This is a clean, new-feeling property that is minimally furnished, and rather minimally equipped, but worked very well for us. Groceries are available nearby and the neighborhood was pleasant. There aren’t as many places to sit to eat as there are bed spaces, so most of us ate breakfast standing up, but we were trying to get out the door anyway, so that was fine. If you were eating more meals there, you would hope for good enough weather to use the outdoor table. Raj was a considerate and communicative host. Beds were great and kids did fine on the couches made into beds. Overall, this was a great stay.

It was a nicely equipped vacation rental. The property is clean and new. Therefore, it may not have all cooking pots and pans you need for a longer stay. We didn't have to cook much during our three-night stay, so sufficient for us. The four star is not because of the property itself, but for the location. It is on the other side of the river across downtown Sydney. It's not very convenient to go shopping or restaurant. But the good side is that it is quiet.
