About the host

Iona is a passionate believer in sustainable design.

Every detail of the home has been meticulously designed and constructed for maximum livability and minimum environmental impact while permeated with a 'boating' aesthetic inspired by its location.

Why they chose this property

It's an urban oasis! I know sounds like a cliché!
It is so quiet and peaceful due to being located on a peninsula surrounded by the beautiful waters of Sydney Harbour so there is no through traffic.
While there are also so many magnificent trees and tall palms that attract a multitude of beautiful birds so the only sounds are birdsong or the occasional sound of diesel boat chugging past on the harbour below or when its really windy there is also the sound of the yachts' sails when they tack past.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to the City via Sydney Harbour ferries or the local bus, and the easy walking to the famous local "Balmain village". The village contains a wonderful array of interesting be-spoke shops (including fashion and lifestyle, bakeries etc.) as well as top quality Restaurants and an array of fantastic cafés.
And not least the easy walking distance to many of the famous old Balmain corner pubs with their excellent menu choices as well as live music most weekend nights or trivia nights during the week.

Additionally there is a multitude of beautiful harbourside parks to relax and perhaps picnic while watching the yachts sailing past.
(Picnic blankets provided)

All of which makes this an excellent base from which to make the most of your stay in Sydney.
