Great location

Wonderful spot. Great for transport and walking. Bear in mind the bedroom accommodation is easily suitable for 4 adults/older teens but the lounge/dining is a little compact if you plan on spending a lot of time there.Lovely quirky style (think black, mirrors, animal print, artificial plants)

Miller's Point

It was wonderful to stay in such a character filled home, with lots of period features. The house is in a great location, just a short walk to the harbour and being up high on the hill it had great views of the surrounding area.

A perfect location & gorgeous property

We loved our 4 day stay at Millers Point. It felt very special staying amongst this historic area and was perfectly located for public transport. Sam was a great host and responded really quickly. She was very accommodating with our luggage. The beds were really comfortable. I loved the unique, individual style of the house. We will definitely book again when next in Sydney.
