  • My wife and I enjoyed a month here earlier this year. Location could not be better -- close to transportation, great restaurants and lively neighborhoods. Unusual and fun house with spiral staircase, outdoor atrium and very bright throughout. Enjoyed our stay.

  • We spent the first week of our honeymoon here and had a great time. The location is fantastic - Surry Hills is a vibrant neighborhood in a beautiful city. It's close to public transport, but we actually walked to downtown most of the time. The apartment was a little funkier than we anticipated and seemed to be in need of some minor repairs, but nevertheless we were comfortable.

    The house has since been repainted

  • We enjoyed out stay at 45 Collins St. We had a wonderful vacation and loved the location. It was nice to live in a suburb type that was very accessable to the city and everywhere we wanted to go. Very fun house to stay in.

    Hi Lindy, Thank you so much for helping to make our first trip to AU a very enjoyable one, loved your country. Your home in Surry Hills was also special. It would be lovely in the summer, but we had nice enough weather to enjoy most areas.
