Sydney's best-loved stay: unique luxury for up to 12

❤️ 🎉 Winner of Australian Airbnb Host of the Year 2023 🎉❤️
Featured in tv shows and ads, "Sinjin" has been described by guests as “Just like a luxury hotel” and “Totally 'Gram-worthy”.
Less than 2km from the city centre, walking distance to Central & Newtown in a buzzing neighbourhood, the location just can't be beaten. With comfortable accomodation for up to 12 people, along with a huge kitchen and great outdoor areas, it truly is the most loved short term rental in Sydney.
If you are passionate about design and interiors you'll love this house! An epic renovation has lovingly brought this old dame back to life, with no expense spared in creating a luxury, made-for-short stays space that exudes charm and character.
From custom made marble floors, to gorgeous brass lights, to restored fireplaces and decorative ceilings, there is something of interest in every room.
Private, secure and quiet, Sinjin is perfect for those wanting a central but friendly neighbourhood base from which to explore the city. Perfect for groups of friends, groups in town for weddings, engagements or other events, or family get-togethers. Also available for photo shoots (please contact me directly). 
Features:
- 4 large and equal sized bedrooms with queen beds
- lounge room/library functions as a separate 5th bedroom with a double height blow-up bed, with a full size queen fold out sofa in the family room making up the 6th queen bed (please note that with both beds made up there's not a lot of 'lounging' space left, and there are no curtains in the family room so it's advised to bring an eye mask if you are sleeping in this room)
- Incredible master suite with raked ceilings, walk-in-robe, AC and full marble ensuite with dual showers
- Stunning characterful main bathroom with heated marble floors, freestanding clawfoot tub, floor to ceiling windows and dual basins
- Open plan kitchen, dining and family room flowing to a tropical sunny deck.
- Huge open plan chef's kitchen with all mod cons including 4 ovens, freestanding 5-burner induction cooker, integrated dishwasher and microwave, French door fridge with chilled water and a gorgeous butler sink.
- Incredible design features: heated polished concrete floors and steel-framed double-glazed windows.
- Separate loungeroom with floor to ceiling bookcases with an intriguing array of tchotchkes, massive book collection and big TV (includes antiques so please take special care in this room).
- Ceiling fans with remote in 3 upstairs bedrooms, air-conditioning in two bedrooms
- Pillowtop queen mattresses and hotel quality linen
- Breakfast (cereal), a range of teas, pod coffee machine and all essentials supplied
- Toiletries (soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc) supplied.
- Double glazed windows in all new areas keeps the house beautifully quiet and cool.
- Eco-sensitive build with top of the range, super efficient appliances
- Washing machine and heat pump dryer available in concealed laundry
- Portacots, high chairs and items for young children available on request
The house is truly spectacular and guests repeatedly say photos just don’t do it justice!
As there are many luxury surfaces and everything is brand new, I do ask you to take special care when staying. Children are welcome but please ensure they are supervised (I can make adjustments to secure more delicate items).
I will be nearby during your stay and available to answer any questions.
Forest Lodge is a vibrant, unique suburb only a stone's throw from the dazzling city, gentle Glebe, hip Newtown, buzzing Surry Hills, and a walk to the water. Being opposite the stately Sydney University, it is a bohemian place populated with a mix of students, families, and older residents. Comprised of gorgeous Victorian terraces you can get a feel for 'old Sydney town' by walking it's tree-lined streets. Take a rest from admiring the architecture by stopping in for a coffee and maybe a cronut at any one of a multitude of cafes right outside your door.
Whilst on a quiet residential street, buses to the city, Central Station, Bondi/Coogee and outer west are available a 2 min walk away. It's walking distance to the city (20 mins), Newtown, Ultimo, Chippendale, Broadway, Glebe and Annandale. Taxis and Ubers are plentiful, and walking is safe any time of the day or night. On-street parking is available on the street outside (there are both unrestricted and restricted spots. If you miss out on an unrestricted spot, visitor passes can be purchased off me for $10/day).
Please note that there is a strict no parties policy. If is it found that you are having a party you will be asked to leave immediately without refund, and/or there will be a fee of $2000.
As I have a Strict cancellation policy, travel insurance is recommended to cover you in case of any disruptions to your travel, such as delayed/canceled flights, illness (incl Covid), or other circumstances.
