Balmain was one of the earliest suburbs in Sydney becoming a major port, wharf and coal mining area in the 1800’s. This has made Balmain into a colourful, artistic peninsula. Its architecture reminds us of its working class background with its beautifully preserved 'workers cottages’ and a very large number of pubs. In fact it is known as the peninsula of pubs. The Bald Rock Hotel, built in 1876 is the longest continually licensed pub in the area and only a 1.2 km walk away. The London Pub, 50 metres away, has a street lining balcony, which
bursts with Balmain-ians meeting for their after work drinks. Dicks, The Exchange, The Royal Oak, The Dry Dock, The East Village, The Unity Hall, & The Cricketers Arms pubs are all within a 600 metre walk, & all are great options for a drink or a meal.

One other thing to note
This is a residential block of 4 townhouses with the majority of owners living on site. We do expect our guests to be very considerate of all of our neighbours and to respect their right to enjoy their home without disturbance.
