We absolutely loved our stay at the boutique cottage! Megan and Peter were incredibly friendly and helpful, they went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable with everything. They were always happy to help and made the whole experience so easy and enjoyable. When we wanted to use the pool they were more than accommodating. We really appreciated how they checked in on us during the storm to make sure we were safe and had everything we needed. That level of care and thoughtfulness really made a difference and made us feel genuinely looked after. We couldn’t recommend them highly enough and will definitely be staying here again next time we’re in Sydney! The cat Lewis was as welcoming as Megan and Peter and was a perfect bonus to the stay.

What an incredibly safe, clean, comfortable and relaxing place to stay! Honestly, we wanted for nothing and nothing was an impost to Megan. I travelled a a very long way with my dog for a specialist veterinarian appointment and ended up needing to check earlier than planned. Without any notice at all I reached out to Megan and her reply was almost immediate, and no hesitation to allow us to do that. Megan is an incredible host. So caring and genuine. This stay had it all; The optional extras like the the onsite spa treatment and optional gourmet cooked breakfast with fresh juice, and the the private court yard with pool and bbq, the linen, the bed, oversized shower, dark face wash cloths to remove make up even.. so very well thought out. Guests will want for nothing here. Location in proximity to the city and beaches is superb too.Ample parking street side and the street is a generous width (more like country town sized streets). It's a calm, clean, friendly neighbourhood. Close to the water too. Loved our stay here. My dog was completely comfortable and relaxed here too; very rarely a thing at all for her. This will forever be my No. 1 stay option for Sydney.
