  What a wonderful 40th birthday surprise for my husband. The view was outstanding, the property well maintained, well equipped and clean. Kirrrbillii and its surrounds has so much to offer. Great restaurants, lovely walks and easy access to all areas of the Sydney CBD. The only bad thing was having to leave. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

  Recommended for: Romantic getaway.

  My husband and I came for 5 days at the end of Nov. This is indeed a lovely place with spectacular views of the opera house and the bridge. The only problem was the scaffolding in front of the dining room window. I told the owner they should have informed us so we could have made a decision to go elsewhere. The kitchen is updated and when I asked for a coffee pot instead of the instant coffee, an electric coffeemaker appeared the next day. The property is well maintained though I killed about 4 cockroaches in the kitchen and bathroom. I think it's hard to control those especially living on the water. The area does not have any great restaurants but the ferry is a 15 min. walk. There is a small market where they had some gourmet foods; french cheeses, olive bar etc. And a wine store a few doors down. Because our dining room view was blocked I would rate our stay 'average' though it would be 'excellent' without. Never saw a painter either that whole week but it was raining most of the time. We did not have a car and were fine walking everywhere.

  Owner response: I totally understand my guests disappointment at having painters scaffolding obscure 1 of their windows to our magic view. Fortunately the balcony directly opposite the Opera House was not affected. I only knew of the painter's arrival the day before my guests arrived-I have no say when the Body Corporate arranges such things. I do wish my guests had told me when they first arrived that they were so unhappy & not waited untill they left. I would have happily refunded their payment but finding other accomodation would have been a problem at that time of year in Sydney. I always ask & try to supply items to make my guests feel comfortable-like the coffee machine. After they mentioned the cockroaches I paid $298 to have a pest company service. I have been fortunate to find several lovely cafes & restaurants just 3 to 4 blocks away myself and my daughter & I can walk to the ferry in just over 5 mins one way or to the train station in the other direction. I do hope they will come again someday - the outside of the building is nicely painted now & that won't have to be done again for many years hopefully.

  My daughter attended the University of Sydney so my visit was for a vacation and to spend time with her and her friends. I rented this beautiful apartment in late October. Everything about the experience was wonderful. The owner, Julie, is great to work with. She assisted me in many ways to ensure I enjoyed my trip. The views were magnificent! It was very relaxing and exciting watching the harbor activity. The apartment is well furnished including the kitchen equipment. I hosted a dinner party for my daughter and five of her friends ~ we thoroughly enjoyed appetizers on the balcony and dinner in the dining room overlooking the harbor including two wonderful firework displays. It is very convenient to the ferry and the train. And, if you do not want to go far, there are plenty of good restaurants in the area ~ some even delivery. I sent several people photographs of the apartment and the views ~ everyone was amazed. I would highly recommend it!

  Owner response: It has been a pleasure to meet so many happy overseas travellers since we opened in May. Our point blank views of the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge are a joy to share with holidaying guests. I look forward to welcoming many more in the future.

  "The apartment is in a stunning location..directly opposite the Sydney Opera house! We had a great stay and enjoyed watching the city night lights and the boats travelling past on the harbour. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay and we would book again!!"
