The decor was lovely and very good facilities.

- Amelia (10/5): -
- Meagan (10/5): - Great location. Main street of Balmain in walking distance. Room was gorgeously designed.
- yiman (10/5): Warm welcome and owners are so nice - Location Nil
- Koffi (10/5): - My wife and I stayed at Balmain Village Retreat for a night and had a wonderful experience. The hospitality was exceptional from the moment we arrived. A massive thank you to the hosts for being so welcoming—especially Joy, who met us in person and went above and beyond to help with our luggage. It is a lovely, comfortable spot and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a short stay or long stay in the area! We had an entirely positive experience. Everything met our expectations, and there were no issues at any point during our visit.
- Whittle (10/5): - Balmain is enchanting and this little delightful stay fits perfectly with it. The bed and bedding was high quality and was exceptional. The way this property has been styled is high end with a blend of historic beauty and modern comforts. I was only disappointed we could not stay longer. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Enchanting excellence. Stunning studio. Beautifully Balmain. That we had to leave 🥹
- Iciar (8/5): -
- Simon (10/5): - The room was beautifully appointed and feshly rennovated. I had hired a car from the airport and picked up my partner from the city on the way through to Balmain - which is only a few minutes away via the Anzac bridge. Parking is on the street but there was no problem finding somewhere to park. It is a short walk from the Balmain shops - we walked out and had coffee and a crepe from one of the local cafes and walk back later for dinner at one of the restaurants with family. Overall we really enjoyed the place - we had bought a bit of food from the local Woolworths and used the facilities in the room to make our own coffee/tea/breakfast. This is a small room and not really a place to lounge around in but we spent most of our time out and about - but we definitely came back to the room to decompress/snooze in between activities and it was comfy. Good central location for city activities. Overall we really appreciated how nice everything was in the room - modern, clean, cool! The bathroom is great - shower was really good. Hosts were a pleasure to deal with.
- Adam (10/5): Recommended! - Close to the shops and the Dawn Fraser pools for a swim. Walkable to the Rozelle Markets too.
- Phil (9/5): - Easy access to property. The Balmain is a great area, lots of shops and places to eat
- Bruce (7/5): Cute little room and comfy - Location location location Vent in bathroom needs to be bigger, no storage
- Pinedo (9/5): Bairro muito agradável e relativamente próximo do centro da cidade. - Lugar limpo e agradável. Não pude conhecer o anfitrião, mas ele forneceu boas informações para acesso e dicas quanto aos pontos de interesse. Ao reservar eu esperava um hotel com café da manhã, mas o local tinha boa infraestrutura.
- Sharon (9/5): Quaint - Great location, easy check in lots of info on the area provided The room was extremely small can’t imagine any more than 2 people staying in it the ladder to the bunk beds is totally in the way
- Amy (10/5): Stunning studio in the heart of Balmain - Firstly I loved the location, Balmain is stunning.
The property might be small studio but the way it’s been planned out has been done so well, there were so many small details like putting a charger at the top of the bunk bed. I was really impressed!
The two of us were able to live comfortably with our two huge suitcases too!
The hosts were lovely and very attentive, they gave a very clear and easy check in process with lots of recommendations for the area. We even got to meet them which was very nice.
One of my friends instantly booked the property after which is a good sign! There wasn’t a lot that I didn’t like but I suppose the ladder to the loft/bunk bed was a little uncomfortable with bare feet. But we got on fine with it!
- Sandra (10/5): Great stay. Hope to visit again - Very well appointed and the hosts were excellent - extremely helpful. Great location, had everything we needed. Room was lovely
- Bonita (10/5): - I honestly thought it was perfect, the space is inviting and comfortable and like a little retreat. Nothing, great location, super clean and comfy loved it
- ZHIYONG (9/5): 非常难忘的一次体验,下次来还会选择这里,住的时候我们的东西太多,导致房间有点乱,就没好意思拍照片 - 非常棒的体验,位置非常好,房间内设施非常齐全,也方便,对于游客来说旁边就有441/442路公交,3站直达悉尼市中心。往返机场打车15分钟就能到。另外Balmain区也是一个非常美丽舒适安静的街区,人们都非常友好,愿意打招呼。房东也特别好,跟Mark and Joy聊过几次,对我们非常有耐心,虽然我的英语不太好,但我非常喜欢和房东聊天,也非常愿意帮助我们提出的任何请求,房东也给我们推荐了很多周边有趣的地方,非常难忘的一次体验 暂时没想到什么,哈哈哈。哦对,房间里的电视要是再大点就好了,但出来旅行不是为了看电视,也不是什么大问题
- Scarlett (7/5): -
- Adam (6/5): - Very friendly host. Good location Not really suitable in size for 4 people to be comfortable. Poor layout of bathroom, water went all through bathroom during shower. No space to eat in room.
- Maheshinderjeet (7/5): -
- Marjo (10/5): Majoitus oli täydellinen ja olimme erittäin tyytyväisiä kokonaisuuteen. Omistajat todella mukavia. - Sijainti ja siisteys olivat huippua. Huone oli siisti, sopivan kokoinen ja parvisänky oli kiva lisä lomaan. Myös omistajien ystävällisyys ja palvelu oli ensi luokkaista. -
- Al (8/5): Cosy, thoughtful use of space, proactive hosts - Thoughtful use of space & good amenities.
Fab location No free to air tv - it’s handy watch the news/weather etc
- Amanda (10/5): Lovely hosts, very cool room in a great area. - Very lovely renovation and everything was provided. Excellent instruction booklet.
- Chris (9/5): - The location. Close to a bus stop. Easy to commute to the Balmain East ferry, or to catch a bus on the opposite side of Mullins Street to the city. Can't think of anything.
- Guy (10/5): A very nicely renovated studio. It is tiny, but that's all I needed, and good value -
- Xiaoyan (10/5): -
- Eduardo (10/5): Excellent short stay option near the city for 1-2 people at an amazing rate. - Very clean and super convenient being so close to restaurants and shops. We stayed there two nights to safe us the long trip back and forth from the city and back home. An uber ride is less than $20 dollars to the city and public transport is also just around the corner.
I recommend this place to anyone looking for a convenient near city stay for one or two people without the high costs of city hotels and stays.
The hosts were very accommodating and easy to reach. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Just amazing!
- Anna (9/5): - Everything, especially the kindness and flexibility of the hosts. The only negative was the lack of sound insulation, due to the building being old. Luckily the street it’s on is not too trafficked at night, so it was ok in the end!
- Camilla (8/5): Nice place for a single, great location and area is cool - Cute little garden apartment in Balmain, great location, tiny kitchen but I wasn't there for that so wasn't an issue. Easy to find and great detail on how to enter the property. Location is great if you want the buzzy Balmain vibe and parking wasn't too much of an issue as I came and went each day. Hosts were very responsive and helpful. Cafe's and Restaurants/pubs are abundant in the area The property was smaller than I envisaged but ok, I feel the garden apartment I was in is way overpriced for what it is so know for next time. The TV operates on a sign in on every app situation which is annoying as you can't just flick between the channels like a normal tv and it is very small, again I wasn't there to watch tv but was a little frustrating.
- Annika (10/5): -
- Debdeep (7/5): Ok - Location Beds
- Natalie (10/5): Convienent, clean and compact. - Location, clean and tidy Maybe a little expensive for the size of room.
- Jenny (5/5): -
- Andy (10/5): So good! The hosts Mark & Joy let us drop our luggages before check in time which is really helpful since we just ar - Really close to public transport and clean too
- tutku (4/5): -
- Sebastian (9/5): -
- Marina (10/5): The perfect little sanctuary in the middle of the city! - Perfect location, it felt safe and comfortable, very quiet, the interior was stunning, bed was insanely comfortable and the little touches the hosts put in were so sweet! Can’t fault them, honestly.
- Andrea (10/5): - It was in a great location for us.
- Henisha (10/5): -
- Motion (10/5): Mark and Joy went over and above to make sure our stay was comfortable. - Loved the location. Easy parking. Kids loved the bunk beds. So much more character than a hotel.
- Aurelia (9/5): Peaceful and enjoyable - Accessible, safe, accommdating None
- Dayle Rasmussen (10/5): - Great location and amenities.
Easy access.
- Емил (10/5): Maggie and Emil Panovi - The owners are great hearts - helpful and assisting in every aspect and at all times! Thank you, Joy and Mark. It was a great pleasure being your guests. The flat has a cosy and elegant stile!
- Belinda (10/5): Cosy et charmant - Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans cet appartement charmant. Bien que l’espace soit petit, cela n’a pas du tout gâché l’expérience. L’appartement était cosy, très propre, et le lit ainsi que les coussins étaient parfaits. La petite cour avec sa table et ses chaises, entourée de plantations odorantes de jasmin, était un vrai plus. C’était un vrai plaisir d’être réveillé par le chant des oiseaux. L’emplacement était idéal, au cœur d’un quartier agréable, proche de bons restaurants et avec un accès facile au centre-ville en bus. De plus, la propriétaire était toujours disponible et attentive, et une machine à laver était mise à disposition. En outre, nous avons apprécié les recommandations et les conseils fournis sur les endroits où manger, où prendre un verre, et autres astuces locales. Les instructions pour l’appartement, pour récupérer les clés, étaient claires et bien indiquées. En résumé, c’était une expérience parfaite, bien plus chaleureuse qu’un hôtel, et sans hésiter, nous y retournerons si nous revenons en Australie. Rien,
- Morgana (10/5): - The kids Absolutely loved the loft beds and the built in usb chargers up there.
The beds were fantastic, best sleep I’ve had all month. I especially loved the linen. Always a treat to go away and sleep on decadence. Mark and Joy were so friendly and helpful and always came back to us near instantly. Really appreciate that, thanks so much guys! I didn’t take into account what having 4 suitcases in a studio space would look like. My oversight
- Jo (10/5): Inner West pubs & restaurant vibes or quiet time to reflect - Balmain Village Retreat offers it all - The Courtyard Suite was PERFECT. Whilst it was raining (so I couldn't sit outside) I could open the double doors to listen to the droplets, enjoy the serenity of the garden and take solitude. Magical !!!! I couldn't fault this property at all.
- Reynaldo Jr (10/5): Highly recommended would book again in the near future - Close proximity to city and transportation and host was very accommodating None
- Sally (10/5): Excellent family accommodation with everything we needed to make our stay an exceptional experience. - Although my family and I only stayed for 1 night as we were there to watch the Australian Diamonds play netball, our stay was amazing. The accommodation was excellent exactly as described and was perfect for our little family of 4. The kids absolutely loved sleeping up in the loft beds, they thought it was the coolest thing ever! The accommodation was spotlessly clean, very comfortable and had everything we needed and the check in instructions were very clear and easy to understand. Mark and Joy made our stay an exceptional experience and we will definitely be staying here again if and when we come back to Sydney. We will be recommending to all our friends and family as well. I actually have no negatives at all, our stay was perfect.
- sah (10/5): - The colour scheme chosen is gorgeous. Kitchenette had everything bar a stovetop/oven. Hosts were more than accommodating & checked in post arrival to ensure we got inside. Great design of a compact space with capabilities to sleep multiple 🙂 woolies is a brief walk, transport (bus) stops across the road..
We enjoyed our stay greatly Nothing to say negative, but Is a rather compact room (we are a family of 5, keep in mind - required a porticot which was happily supplied).
- RICKY (10/5): - Excellent!!!! It was great location excellent hosts and very clean will def stay again!!!
- Dimopoulos (10/5): -
- Maggie (8/5): -
- Brendan (10/5): - Great location, space was exactly as described and was perfect for our short stay. Kids loved the loft beds! Couldn't think of anything
- Chanté (10/5): Home away from home. - As soon as we walked in, we felt calm after our flight. It’s clean and smells good and has a very calming vibe (the suburb and the accommodation itself). My nana and I were there for an emotional trip visiting my great nana who’d just gone into palliative care and Mark and Joy checked in regularly to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. At one point the key broke off in the door and Mark & Joy sorted it immediately which was a relief. Our flight was leaving at 5:50PM and we had luggage and mark and Joy organised for us to leave it at the property despite checkout at 10AM. They made it possible to have a home away from home and we’ll be forever grateful for that. We’ll always remember Mullens Street as our safe space during a difficult time.
- Abbey (10/5): Myself and a friend stayed in this retreat and it was absolutely incredible! Highly recommend to people who want shops t - It was very welcoming and spotless! The hosts were incredibly kind and checking in on us and giving us ideas of where we can eat Nothing. Everything was perfect
- Richard (10/5): -
- Albeiro (10/5): - Close to the shops. There is a Pub just down the road. Also a little convenience shop 2 doors down.
Very nice neighbourhood.
- Rachel (10/5): -
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Helen (10/5): Good for a stopover and great neighbourhood - Very clean and compact an exceptional host with good communication and flexibility
- Julia (9/5): Perfect room for visiting friends nearby. It fit all of the family in a cute little space. - Exceptional location, very modern room, newly renovated. Could walk to everywhere in Balmain, and hop in the car to be anywhere in the Inner West. The check in was very easy. Good street parking on the weekends.
- Denne (9/5): Great, cosy stay - The check in was very easy, with clear instructions and the owners were very friendly and accomodating. The location was very central to transport and the city and the room layout was very cute design.
- Mark (10/5): Easy to access, had character, clean and tidy, no problem parking - Great location, if you’re working out West it’s easy to get on to the M4. Great cafe 100 m down the road
- Kayzia (8/5): Lovely place well-located - This was a lovely place in Balmain, perfectly located to get into Sydney CBD and with comfortable beds and a good number of rooms and beds. We loved the outdoor space and it was great for our little one.
Joy and Mark were very responsive and accessible. There is one cooking element and no oven so be aware of this if you are planning to cook! (We didn’t realise this when we booked but still managed to have a great stay and would stay here again!)
- James (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carla (9/5): Lovely stay. - Great location. Easy check in. Very clean. Had everything you could need for a short or long stay. We didn’t take kids but it seemed very child friendly too.
- Liz (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the location of the property and how the owners were amazing and friendly.
Very detailed information about the property plaves to go There was nothing i didn't like
- Conor (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sumesh (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location with easy access to city and great hosts
- Daniellejames08 (10/5): Amazing little hideaway in Sydney - The townhouse and facilities provided were amazing. We didn't get to use a lot of their facilities as we came to Sydney for a concert in Olympic Park so we really only used the bathroom and beds.
The hosts were lovely and provided me with a very detailed guide on how to enter the house, and the activities we could do while in the area. They messaged me to make sure we arrived ok and were able to get in without any issues.
We would definitely stay again and hopefully get to use all their facilities and enjoy the cafes and restaurants nearby. The parking was hard especially when you aren't used to driving in Sydney. There are barely any free spots near the house so we had to park 3-4 streets away. The hosts did provide a map with other streets we could park on which we definitely used, but it was a pain when trying to bring all our luggage to the place. However this didn't detract from the place just a slight irritation.
- Kasia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kellie (10/5): A relaxing place for our family to stay and enjoy time together. - Very convenient to public transport, close to the city. Great facilities, clean and comfortable.
- Christof (10/5): We had to have a Short Term Booking for one Night and found this nice, cozy place. Mark and Joy are great hosts. - Great location close to restaurants and shops and public Transport. Very nice hosts.
- Shannen (10/5): Fantastic, 10 out of 10 -
- Shannen (10/5): Exceptional - Kookaburra Gardens is an absolute gem in the heart of Balmain! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed by the incredible hosts, Joy and Mark, who went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Their proactive communication, friendliness, and responsiveness made all the difference—truly excellent hosts!
The property itself exudes a calming charm, making it the ideal retreat for anyone seeking a relaxing getaway. Its thoughtful design and serene atmosphere create a sense of peace that’s hard to find elsewhere. The location is unbeatable!
10/10, highly recommend! Thank you, Joy and Mark, for making the stay unforgettable. Will definitely book again!
- Angela (9/5): We really enjoyed our stay at this quirky little place. Great location, co nice and clean, and the hosts were accessible - The property was in a great location Getting access was a bit much with all the different keys
- Bryan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Booker (10/5): Exceptional -
- Daniel (10/5): The property was very comfy. the hosts are very friendly and access was very well explained - comfortable and light nothing
- Robert (3/5): Over priced for a 20 hour stay and definitely not what was advertised. - Nothing other than the furnishings the beds were nice
but almost on the floor. Like Fort Knox ! a code to get keys then 4 keys to eventually get into the place after climbing outside steep timber stairs. Shower room very small and in the wrong place with the toilet right next to the small kitchenette separated by a wobbly sliding door.
Only suitable for two people certainly not 6 as stated. And not a leafy suburb but a busy road with cars and buses going past your bedroom window even though you’re on the first floor.
- Alicia (10/5): Exceptional -
- 李 (10/5): Exceptional - Everything is best. No.
