About this property
Riley Escape Walkable City Living with Courtyard
A rare find in the heart of Surry Hills, this spacious one-bedroom apartment opens to its own private garden courtyard. Inside, a light-filled living area, a full kitchen with Nespresso, multiple dining spaces, a bathroom with a bathtub and private laundry make everyday living easy. Explore Surry Hills’ heritage streets, indie boutiques and vibrant dining scene on foot. Central Station’s trains and light rail are just a ten-minute walk away, connecting you easily to the CBD and wider Sydney. The living area centres around an oversized L-shaped sofa, timber coffee table and occasional chair, offering plenty of room to unwind after a day out. The well-equipped kitchen makes dining at home easy, with an oven, gas stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator, plus a Nespresso machine, kettle and toaster for morning essentials.
Meals can be enjoyed at the intimate dining nook or around the larger round dining table overlooking the greenery outside. The private garden courtyard brings a leafy escape to the heart of the apartment, with lounge seating and established greenery offering ample space to dine outdoors, catch the sun or linger over wine.
The bedroom features a queen bed with bedside lighting and clothing storage, with direct access to a small Juliet-style balcony overlooking the street. The bathroom offers both a bathtub and overhead shower, with toiletries, towels and a hair dryer supplied for convenience. A private laundry with washing machine, dryer and utility sink makes extended stays easy.
Ceiling fans and portable heaters are available in both the living area and bedroom for year-round comfort. While there’s no on-site parking, Surry Hills cafés, restaurants and shops are easily explored on foot. Central Station and light rail connections are around a ten-minute walk away for trips across Sydney.
Please note: As the bedroom is located on the ground floor and faces the street, some traffic and neighbourhood noise may be heard, particularly during busier periods. There is no TV at the property; books and reading material are provided for entertainment. During your stay, you and your group will have the entire apartment to yourselves. Please make yourselves at home!
Tucked in the heart of Surry Hills, this escape places guests in one of Sydney's most eclectic and creative pockets, where heritage terraces sit alongside buzzing bars, indie boutiques, and a laid-back yet cosmopolitan energy that locals love.
Within a short walk, discover Firedoor, Nomad, Lil' Miss Piggy, The Beresford, bills, Mille Vini and Itō—an enticing mix of casual favourites, wine bars and celebrated dining that makes Surry Hills one of Sydney’s top food destinations.
Take a refreshing dip or unwind on the grass at Prince Alfred Park, with its outdoor pool, leafy lawns, and running track, or spend an afternoon browsing Crown Street's charming boutiques and independent stores. Oxford Street's vibrant bars and shops are just around the corner, while the energy of Chinatown and the CBD are both within easy walking distance. It's roughly a ten-minute walk to both Central Station and the light rail, giving guests easy access to the CBD, Airport, and beyond.
