We spent 8 terrific days here in October 09. The apartment is just as advertised - very comfortable, well equipped and in a beautiful location. There are wonderful views of the cove and lots of interesting birds. Getting into downtown Sydney by ferry is very easy and a weekly travel pass is valid on busses and trains also.
The owners are delightful and very helpful. They even stored our luggage on our day of departure and organized a taxi later for our evening flight, essentially allowing us to spend an extra day in Sydney. We hope to return someday and this will definitely be our choice of accommodation.
Don't hesitate to stay here, you will not be disappointed.

I just got back from Sydney. I stayed 7 days in this
lovely apartment and the rest of my stay was in a
hotel. I must say, I did not want to leave the
apartment even if I was going to a 5 star hotel. I
was picked up dropped off at the ferry station by
the owners. They could not have been nicer. They
really know how to be great hosts. For example
they had instructions for all the appliances and all
tourist information about Sydney. Also they had a
nice library in case you forgot to bring books. The
view is lovely, the deck is the best! The ferry is
about a 5-8 minute walk from the place. I think
one of the owner is an artist and it clearly shows in
the decor (the furnishing are very modern and clean
, clearly an asian influence). It was great to have
free wifi unlike my 5 star hotel. I was alone and this
way I had a great connection with my family.

Finally, I think all I need to say about their hosting
was they had snack prepared for my arrival. I could
not recommend this more highly.

We just got back from celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. This unit is amazing! The views in the pictures don't even do it justice! We loved it! The unit was clean, well stocked and the owners were indeed very accessible, they even took us to the train station on the morning of our departure! This place is a real gem and if we ever get back to the Sydney area this is where we will stay, definitely! Truly a gem, my best VRBO spot yet!

We spent a wonderful week at this apartment in Sydney. We almost felt like we were in paradise.

The location was superb. Public transportation was easily accessible - we traveled by ferry, train, and bus. Being in a neighborhood was much better than staying in a hotel. We walked extensively, not only in the local area but also along the water, over the bridge, and into the central city.

The apartment was clean, comfortable, roomy, and well-supplied. The view from the balcony was amazing. A grocery store was a short walk away, and we fixed several meals for ourselves. The owner was hospitable, easily available, and very helpful.

If we ever return to Sydney - and I hope we do - we would want to stay here again.

Thanks again for everything.

We had a wonderful stay. The apartment is beautiful as pictured. The hosts were very helpful and available for questions. While we were initially concerned of location in suburbs, the Sydney transportation system works extremely well so getting around was no problem and the walk to the ferry was always enjoyable. We look forward to our return.

Definitely a fantastic rental! Stayed here for a
month and enjoyed every single day. The sunsets
are to die for as the colors of the sky wash from
blues to reds over the harbour view and the lights
in all the distant homes on the harbour twinkle at
dusk. The deck is incredibly huge and completely
private and the walls can be configured to be fully
open with breezes and bird calls wafting through to
completely private. This place is definitely an architectural wonder and added to one of my top 10
vacation rental destinations in the world. Incredibly
easy to get into the heart of downtown Sydney via a
train or ferry ride but distant enough to give you an
experience of Sydney over the harbour you won't
forget (nor want to leave)! The owner is extremely
helpful with any questions you may have about
visiting here in Sydney. Overall, it was worth every
cent staying here and getting one of the best rental
experiences I've ever had.

My wife and I stayed at this place for a week in April 2009 and it is superb. Probably the best location you could get outside the city - in fact I would not stay anywhere else. The ferry is 8 mins walk away and then a beautiful 15 min ride into Circular Quay - ferries run hourly. The host is wonderful and has set the apartment up perfectly with everything you need including bus and ferry schedules, local restaurant guides etc. The apartment itself is exquisite with a wonderfully private and fully open floor plan that has 6 meter sliding glass doors that open onto a deck overlooking the bay - we slept with this open every night. It is amazingly quiet and tranquil and you will be woken up to kookaburras, cockatoos, magpies and lorikeets in the morning. My wife and I had trouble pulling ourselves away from the place every day and actually getting out and doing things. You'd be crazy to stay anywhere else, unless of course you want the city experience.

Comment Text: The apartment in the tranquil suburb Greenwich is really wonderful and has everything you need to relax: beautiful terrace with view on the bay, state of the art kitchen, modern bathroom, free internet, really tasteful interior. Public transport connections to the city are very good, take the ferry (5 min walk to the wharf) or the train (10 min to station).

Sydney Harbour Savannah is absolutely one of the best kept secrets of Sydney. Wonderful secluded spot for maximum privacy yet immediately accessible to all parts of Sydney. I travel frequently around the world for business so I know what it is like to stay somewhere special with very hospitable hosts. The lucky who stay here will enjoy sparkling water views, refreshing sunshine throughout the flat, and aesthetically pleasing and functional interior design.
