Thank you for putting together such a clean, delightful, well decorated place to call home. The possoms were wonderful, like big thoughtful cats. Nicknamed the female Miss H as she is so hungry for bananas. She will guide your hand toward her mouth. Also the green blue and orange Lorikeets are a delight! on my shoulder and arms waiting for their turn at the food bowl. Wow what a location!

This was our first visit to Sydney and we didn`t really know what to expect. I have to say that we were completely delighted with Ron and Jan`s place. For starters, it backs up to a forest reserve and we had rainbow lorikeets, sulfer-crested cockatoos, king parrots, brush tailed possums and water dragons in daily attendance. Next. The unit itself was immaculate. It looked as if no guests had ever stayed there before. Finally, Ron and Jan went way above and beyond the call of duty in making our stay a positive experience. Bringing us back from the airport our first view of Sydney Harbour was of the Opera House and Bridge from the Botanic Gardens, all lit up and reflecting in the harbour. They also took us up to the Hawkesbury River in their boat, which was a wonderful day. We manage a vacation rental of our own in Hawaii through VRBO and we were humbled by the effort that Ron and Jan put forth for their guests.
