Summary

Our cabin is spacious and light drenched. It offers a queen size bed, built in, small kitchenette (w/ bar fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster), bathroom, study area, air con, internet and a smart tv (w/netflix). It has bamboo floors, a timber deck, fly screens and a lovely little garden. There is easy access down a shared driveway to come and go as you please. We have 2 young children and 2 cats. The cats are not allowed in cabin.

Space

A new building, with an abundance of natural light, which maintains the character of the main 1920's house. The cabin looks out on to garden with flowering plants including a magnolia, camellia and star jasmine. There is also a little herb garden that our two year old son likes to tend to (i.e., pull off unripe fruit/veggies and do a runner!). Also, has all mod cons including internet TV, netflix and air conditioning.

Neighborhood Overview

Petersham is a great place to live. It is littered with good cafes (some of the best are less than 500 meters and is known for it's Portuguese chicken and tarts (the best ones from Sweet Belem.) There are several good pubs / bars in the area within walking distance including the Oxford Hotel, the West Village and the Public House. A few minutes walk away on the main road is Archella Fresh (run by Frank and his wife Rebecca) who have great fresh produce and a wonderful range of fine foods. There is also a range of parks in the neighbourhood. The Cabin is also close to several of Petersham’s popular venues including Petersham town hall and the Petersham tafe.

Notes

Being in the inner west of Sydney, there is air traffic noise but this stops at 10pm and doesn't occur before 6am. We have two ragdoll cats which occasionally hang out in the backyard. We also have two small children, a boy aged 4 and a girl who is 2.5 going on 13.

Transit

The Cabin is close to several modes of public transport allowing guests to easily access the city and other major destinations. Petersham train station is a 5-7 minute walk away. It is 2 stations from Newtown and only 10 mins, or five stops, to the city. Petersham station is also on the inner west train line that accesses the Olympic Park precinct and Homebush. The light rail is a 10 - 15 minutes walk away in Lewisham and provides convenient access to Star City, Paddy's markets, China Town and the Fish Markets. Buses to UTS and Sydney University depart 500 meters from the Cabin (the stop is conveniently located in front of the nearest coffee shop!). The airport is 20 - 30 mins from Petersham by taxi or uber, or you can catch the train with one change at Central Station.

    What a gem!! Perfect accommodation for our weekend in Sydney. Cabin was spotlessly clean and Steven and his little family made us feel very welcome. Location perfect, within walking distance from great cafes and the train station.

  • Eric

    Steven was a great host! Communication with him was very easy and friendly. Check in and check out was simple and the place was easy to find. The cabin itself is located behind property and was really cosy and very clean. It is obvious they put in a lot of effort to build such a beautiful cabin. Travelling around was easy as there are lots of cafes/stores in the area and a train station within walking distance. Cannot wait to stay here again!

    Comfortable and clean cabin - convenient location for my weekend in the area.

    A great little home, has everything you need for a short stay. Steve was very polite and hospitable. Would highly recommend!

  • Sibylle

    The airBNB place was a great find. It was really clean, comfortable, quiet & very convenient for the training location (Addison Street Community Centre). Steve, the host, knew the local area well and recommended a number of shops/cafes in the area.

  • Sienna

    Steven's place is a lovely quiet cabin for any kind of traveller. It was incredibly clean, well quipped and so comfortable. The whole process was so easy and our stay was wonderful. Steven was very helpful and I would recommend his cabin to everyone.

  • Jessica

    This was the perfect place to stay for us. It was close to public transport for business purposes and close to shops, restaurants, and parks for our little one. Steven and his family were extremely welcoming and helpful. The cabin was beautiful. Clean and light. The air con was a bonus as it was quite warm in Sydney at the time of our stay. They provided a porta cot for our baby which was an added bonus. It was very quiet and peaceful. Steven and his family kept to themselves, but were lovely to talk to on the odd occasion we bumped into them on the way out the door. We would highly recommend this place to stay. Thanks for having us guys

    I couldn't recommend staying at this cabin enough. It was beautiful and clean. It's close to public transport and places to eat, but most importantly, the hosts, Steven and Peta were friendly and helpful. Communication prior to arriving was clear and accurate. They ensured our stay was comfortable, but also went out of their way with little extras things such as turning the aircon on before we arrived so our cabin was cool when Sydney was in the midst of a heat wave. Great hosts, and a great place.

    Ideal cabin for our stay, minutes to trains, grocery and laundry. Lovely hosts

    If I could rate this property six stars I would! Steven is obviously very proud of his property - the cabin is perfectly presented, immaculate, modern, practical and quiet. Restaurants, cafes and public transport are very close by. Hoping to make this my regular stay in Sydney.

    Great accommodation and lovely hosts. Beautifully appointed and immaculately finished, this cabin was in the perfect location for our holiday. Easy walking distance to transport, shops, pubs, restaurants and our Australian family. Thanks so much, Moira and Graeme.

    We had an absolutely delightful stay; so much better than staying in a hotel or B &B. Highly recommended.

  • Ivy-Anne

    This is a great private space. The room is all you need for a short time away. The bathroom is lovely with a great rain shower head. There is wardrobe and small fridge and microwave. Is place is short walk to the train station which is only a few stops away from central or the bay. There are also lots of pubs and cafes in walking distance. Pack ear plugs if you are a light sleeper because there are planes in this area and maybe a eye mask of you don't want wake us to the sun. Totally I will stay again they next time I am in Sydney.

    Me and my mum stayed in the cabin for a few days and we absolutely loved it. It's close to the train station and the train only takes ten minutes to the city center. The cabin was very clean and beautiful. Steven and Peta were nice and helpful hosts with two lovely children. Thank you Steven, Peta, Max and Zara, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this cabin to everyone who visits Sydney for a few days and wants to stay close to the center. Best regards, Maja and Katja

    Great location, close to the station. Very cosy, clean and has everything you need. We loved our stay and will be back. Netflix's and wifi was a bonus, so was the shampoo/conditioner and soap. So many awesome cafes for breaky and also dinner places. We loved the Indian and the famous Portuguese chicken. The room was very bright in the morning, and the planes were loud but that didn't bother us at all. Highly recommend this gorgeous cabin.

  • Gabrielle And Tony

    Steven has made a great little cabin with a lot of care and extra expense to give it valuable finishing touches. It is great value and Steven was kind, helpful and easy to deal with. For those unfamiliar with the area it might help to know the aircraft noise is enough to wake you up (from 6am) and takes some getting used to, the proximity to family and neighbour activities also means quietude may be elusive. It's a medium density neighborhood where backyard and rear-of-house activities spill into several properties. There is also no possibility of excluding the morning light with the un-blinded high window. Overall, this listing has a lot to offer, especially if you're not planning a sleep-in.

  • Bridget

    Steven was extremely helpful and communicative. The space was lovely, with everything you could want for a short stay. Fantastic location and easy to come and go as you pleased.

    Steven's cottage is divine, beautiful fittings throughout the cottage with a beautiful cosy feel, the cottage has it own private entrance and space. Steven and his wife are very friendly approachable people. Highly recommend staying here for a lovely stress free stay.

  • Josephine

    Very nice cottage out the back of a quiet street location in an otherwise busy neighbourhood, very easy to get to local cafes and restaurants and nestled right between Stanmore and Petersham train stations for easy public transport access, great value! :)

    Steven is a very nice guy. The house is clean and comfortable, and near Petersham Station.

    Such a lovely space that felt very cosy and private. Location is amazing as there are a couple cafes to choose from and a train station 5 min walk away. Steven and his family are beautiful and were very easy to get along with. They keep everything in perfect condition.

    Wir haben, zusammen mit unserer vierjährigen Tochter, 4 angenehme Nächte in Peta und Steven's Gartenhütte verbracht. Obschon der von Steven erwähnte Fluglärm gewöhnungsbedürftig war, haben wir uns gut erholt. Von Petersham aus konnten wir Sydney wunderbar erkunden. Peta und Steven waren tolle Gastgeber und waren jederzeit für uns erreichbar. Und das, obwohl sie beruflich und mit zwei kleinen Kindern gerade viel zu tun haben. Wir haben uns willkommen gefühlt und hatten dennoch ein angenehmes Maß an Privatsphäre. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen.

  • Gus

    My little boy(14mths) and I had a long stay in Steven's cabin, for almost three weeks while my partner was in hospital recovering from surgery. We found Steven and Peta to be very kind and generous hosts during this stressful period, of which we will always be very grateful. The lawn and garden in front of the cabin are perfect for little kids, and there were playgrounds within walking distance. Numerous good and affordable restaurants and cafes very close by(5 mins walk/pram ride) and I was always able to find street parking. Highly recommend and we'll be back when next in Sydney.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Sean

    Great location (close to shops & public transport), super comfy with air-con, smart TV and a kitchen. Steven is super friendly & easy to get hold of via Airbnb/on the phone. Would definitely come back!

    Steven’s place is lovely - a really well designed space with great facilities in a good location.

  • Jessica

    I loved my time at Steven's place. Close to everything, neat, clean with little touches of luxury (can't compete with a waterfall shower head) - this is the AirBnB pick for you if you're searching for a slice of home in the big city. Steven is extremely welcoming and friendly, and if you're not familiar with the area, he'll soon fill your head with all sorts of inside tips and places to eat. Don't miss out on this Petersham paradise. What I loved: *The freedom to come and go as I pleased with ease via the side gate. *The bed was super comfortable. The villa is an ideal space for writers, professionals or anyone looking to get away on their own. Works for couples too. *The proximity to some of my old-school favourites, including Daisy's Milkbar.

  • Louis

    A great little place in a great location. Didn’t see the hosts much as was out exploring all day, but they were most helpful on check in and through email. The welcome from the cats was an added bonus. I would say that if the plane noise would really be an issue for you, this isn’t ideal, but thanks to the accurate description we went into this well aware of it and it wasn’t bothersome. Overall, a great stay in a lovely cabin in a very convenient location.

    Jun 27, 2019

    Stevens cabin is spotlessly clean, feels very secure and safe as it can only be approached through electric gates. Train station is 5 mins away. And there are good restaurants just round the corner

    Lovely, airy, clean, modern and comfortable space. Steven and Peta were great hosts, very responsive when we had questions and extremely pleasant to chat with. They gave great tips on the neighborhood cafes and restaurants and there are several nearby that were our favorites. Highly recommended!

  • Clive

    We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Steven's place. It was clean, airy and sunny with beautiful decor and a very comfortable bed. Our hosts were delightful. Two things to note, parking can be a bit tricky (though we succeeded each time) and the street is under the flight path so you might have a 6.00 am wakeup call that makes you want to duck. We are used to Sydney flight traffic control so we will be going back for another stay.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Rachel

    Nice little place, very comfy bed and good shower. Good job there's air con as it would be very hot without it! Short walk to Petersham station, the Oxford tavern, Nowa cafe which is excellent. My only complaint would be the triangular window lets in quite a lot of light in the morning and it woke me up! Other than that it's a nice little place.

    Jun 27, 2019
  • Jill

    Steven’s little cottage is a total gem! I’ve stayed in many Airbnbs but this is possibly the best. Clean, stylish, well equipped, great linen, brilliant location, secure. I’ll be back for sure.

  • Mahavir Gabriel

    Steven is an excellent host, very friendly and supportive. Location is very clean, full of light, simple and nicely equipped, for both, work and relaxation. Unless bothered by some transient airplanes flying over Petersham, which you can get used easily, then the place is also very quiet.

    Jun 27, 2019

    Faultless! This peaceful bungalow is exceptional value with everything you'd need during a busy visit to Sydney. It's in such a great location, too. Steven and Peta were easy to communicate with. Thanks for having us!

    I stayed at Stevens place for a few days whilst in Sydney for business. It was lovely and clean, stylish with homely touches. It’s in great location, only a 5 minute walk to the train station and shopping strip. Steven is very friendly and I highly recommend his place to anyone visiting the area

  • Lindsay

    We really enjoyed staying in Steven and Peta's back garden cabin. Beautifully clean, light and had all the essentials. We came with our two young children, and our hosts gave us various options (we settled on a queen sized mattress on the floor for both of them). It was perfectly adequate for four, and for one or two people it would be positively spacious. Petersham is just a short metro ride from the centre of Sydney, and the cabin is just round the corner from a lovely parade of shops and restaurants, so you will never be stuck for something to eat or drink.

    Jun 27, 2019

    We keep returning to this Airbnb as it offers every comfort we may need and is in a very convenient location. It has all the amenities you require and is in a quiet and safe area.

    Our stay at Steven and Peta's place was perfect. We loved the area for its great cafes and Portugese flavour, its proximity to the train line and central Sydney, historic and beautiful buildings etc. The unit is quaint and very comfortable, nice and clean. Beautiful towels too, and very charming hosts.

    Steven and Peta’s AirBnB is a gorgeous example of inner city life in Sydney. The area is full of great restaurants and cafes, shady tree-lined streets, and friendly locals. The cabin itself is a cosy, immaculately clean, comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. We also had the pleasure of meeting Steven. A truly great stay - would recommend without hesitation.

    Lovely, thoughtful hosts who went out of their way to help us with recommendations for our child-related queries. They even left us a bottle of bubbly to see us into the new year. Very kind indeed. A gorgeous, well-designed cottage that makes you feel like you're in the countryside despite being close to the city.

    Steven & Peta have a very comfortable, private, secure and modern unit at the back of their property. We have enjoyed many visits over the past years. They are friendly hosts who respond to any requests immediately. The location is perfect - walking distance to Petersham train station, bus stops and the town centre including restaurants and shops. It is quiet, has a TV, reverse cycle aircon, a lounge, iron and a kitchenette - everything you need for a comfortable stay. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend their place.
