Terrific.

This was the perfect place for a family vacation, convenient for lots of good restaurants, shops, and two blocks from the ferry which takes you all over Sydney harbour, a sublime experience. We ate wonderful lunches at the yacht club (open to non members) which has incredible views of the harbour. We walked to the Redleaf Pool, a huge enclosed harbour swimming pool, for early morning swims. ( a ten minute walk). We had Christmas lunch in the private garden, with swimming pool at the back of the house- a quiet and private area. We had massages and manicures in the very swish Double Bay shopping centre, which would also be a shopperholics paradise with its range of great (but expensive ) boutiques and shops. We took ferry rides across the harbour, and in the end didn't bother to hire a car as transport from Double Bay was convenient for the city and other suburbs such as Bondi. If you are catering for a variety of age groups this property, and its Double Bay location has something for everyone.
The house itself was light, airy and well maintained. Gary and Meredith could not have been more helpful, and friendly. They left excellent notes about the local attractions. I would highly recommend to family and friends.
