About this stay

As seen in Belle Magazine Autumn 2018. Built circa1904 this handsome Edwardian terrace is the classic architectural style found in the neighbourhood of Paddington.

This two-bedroom two-bathroom home has been lovingly restored and blends classic charm with modern amenities.

The home features many period furnishings synonymous with the era. The premium location is a perfect base for you to explore the amazing city of Sydney. There are two interconnected reception rooms in the front of the home including a dining room and sitting room. There are many period pieces that have been thoughtfully curated by the owners. The functional light filled kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor and has direct access to a very peaceful and private courtyard garden. A full bathroom and laundry room are also located on this level.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms that offer flexible sleeping options with the front bedroom enjoying French doors leading out onto a private sunny balcony. A large single antique sleigh bed is the centre piece of this room that can be used as a great place to relax during the day. Bedroom two is located at the rear of the property and boasts an impressive brass bed along with antique furnishings.

To compliment the architectural style there is a renovated full bathroom including an original antique roll top bath and double vanity. This character terrace has a sunny aspect to the rear and is located in an enviable position in Paddington only minutes’ walk to a number of outstanding restaurants, parks, boutiques and public transport.

    Great location and unique property. Garden particularly nice

  • Rated 5 out of 5January 2026

    The house is in a great location as there were shops, restaurants and bars in different directions and we were easily able to get buses all over in different directions. The amenities in the house were great and it is plenty big enough for 3 people. Communication with the owners was excellent and they were very responsive when we contacted them.

    Great location , great facilities , beds could be better .

  • Rated 4 out of 5November 2025

    Place was lovely, unfortunately we had big trouble with the lockbox, and then washing machine broke. I understand they have fixed this now but unfortunately not great for a work trip. Appreciate that they helped us out and they were lovely, but just hard when you are locked out and in a time fix with work colleagues.
