The property was very easy to find and close to the train station and the bus stop and was only minutes away via bus from the accor stadium which was a bonus for us as we were able to rest and relax before the concert. Me and my sis in law were welcomed with a nice welcome card and complimentary food and drinks which we thought was very nice. The property was very clean and organised, to be honest better than some hotels I have stayed at. My previous booking got cancelled last minute and this popped up a few days later and booked it straight away, so happy I was able to find this property as this property was perfect. We also arrived early and contacted the owner a couple of times and was very happy with her quick response, we were also able to check in early. Thank you so much Chris for everything. We had the best time and we will definitely come back.

Featuring a terrace and views of garden, Penshurst Guest House is a recently renovated guest house located in Sydney, 14 km from ANZ Stadium. The property features quiet street views and is 14 km from Bicentennial Park and 15 km from Sydney Showground. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, and luggage storage for guests.

Amazing stay, one thing I like above any other place is the massive kitchen area that we can use instead of buying takeout every night. Stayed for 3 weeks, everyone was respectful and kept to them selves kitchen and laundry were always available. Couldn’t recommend any other place 10/10 value. This is my first choice for anyone staying Sydney short or midterm stay 😀

    Great location, close to the tram stop, Capitol Theatre, not far from Central Station and The Rocks. Nice and clean, and well decorated throughout. Despite the whole area being very busy and the hostel having a lot of guests,, the room I was given was pretty quiet, even with the window open. There where activities for the guests to enjoy together, free hot dog nights, games and such like.

    Great location for visiting Eastern Suburbs. Charming old-timey guesthouse. The room we stayed in was very large and had all the comforts I was looking for. Friendly staff. We got upgraded to a bigger room, too. Really good value.

    Great location! Beautiful views from the apartment, it was a pleasure to be there. I loved how spacious the place was, and the neighbourhood was very quiet. The bed was very comfortable and I loved to have additional blankets for cosy warmth. Amazing selection of teas for tea lovers, quick and reliable wifi and of course - very kind host! I'm very happy with my choice, thank you for making my one day stay in Sydney a pleasant and good experience.
