Scotland Island stay
the property is in a great location and we enjoyed the convenience of the jetty and access to water taxis.
The bench seat cushions were grubby and need either cleaning or an upholstery makeover.
In addition, the hosts provide plenty of information- the number of warning notes about infringements and extra payments were however excessive and detract from relaxation, as this was made very clear prior to being accepted as guests.
Unlikely to visit this property again.

Wonderful retreat on the island
This property exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly peaceful, clean and a perfect taste of island life. Reading on the living room bench while listening to the water was magical. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a little escape!

Light and bright lovely property right on the ocean. Practicality of wharf makes coming and going with boat brilliant fun. A real lifestyle change for those wanting a change of scene and retreat from urban life. We absolutely loved our time at this great home

Very tired and needs improvements for the $$$
We’re a bit confused about other guests 5* reviews as we were completely underwhelmed from the min we arrived at this property given the high nightly rate. Very tired overall, dated bathrooms, stained furnishings, grubby rug, no flyscreens, blockout blinds or fans/aircon in bedrooms (except studio), minimal provisions for a remote property and lawns unkept.
Location and view only positive.
As a holiday property host ourselves and, comparing what we offer our guests for a similar nightly rate, this property did not represent value for money, really disappointing for our long awaited annual family holiday

Amazing Location and Great Guest
We used this beautiful home for a special occasion and honestly loved every minute of our stay. Absolute water front location in the heart of Sydney and amazing hosts that helped in every way possible. Would recommend this to anyone and we will definitely be coming back in the future.

Amazing location and unique experience to be so close to water with a private jetty.
Great location. Property was probably a notch below what we were expecting but definitely worth the experience. Bring your mosquito repellent (the one you can plug on the wall in your bedroom).
