Beautiful large, light and airy queen bedroom in magnificent grand Darlinghurst terrace house circa 1860. Fully renovated, fabulous location in the heart of Darlinghurst. Walk out the door to cafes, shops, restaurants, parks and galleries. Walk to CBD, bus to Bondi Beach, Kings Cross train station is only a 5 minute walk away. You will have your own large bedroom with queen bed and your own bathroom ( pictured). There is a lovely courtyard garden with gas barbeque. Wireless internet connection included. There is a washer & dryer in the laundry you are welcome to use and of course you are welcome to cook in the beautifully appointed kitchen which overlooks the courtyard. In winter there are 3 glorious open fires, one in the kitchen and 2 in the grand living rooms.
Darlinghurst is an urban village similar to New York's 'Soho', with a unique inner city vibe where the locals include artists, independent filmmakers and designers. It is famous for its cafe society, its bohemian culture and its eclectic mix of the old and the new.
Darlinghurst is renowned for good Italian coffee and boasts many famous cafes including Latteria, Bill's, Artisan, The Bunker and Tropicana. The local pubs and hip bars have the cool factor and are the places to be when the sun fades, The Victoria Room is my favourite. Oxford Street is around the corner and where the colourful Mardi Gras parade takes place each year .

$AUS 80 a night for 1 person, $AUS 100 a night for 2 people.

Includes quality linen, thick fluffy towels, bathrobes, hairdryer, tea and coffee, wireless internet.

I am an interior designer and this is my own house. It is beautifully decorated and is in a great location close to everything. There are 2 small terrier dogs that live here with me. I can give you the insiders lowdown on where to go and what to do in Sydney.

There is a $100 deposit payable on arrival which is fully refunded to you when you leave. (The door has a special key that cannot be copied and if lost costs $100 to replace).

  • Victoria is a wonderful host and has a lovely home. She is very friendly, the room is extremely comfortable, and the location is great. I highly recommend Victoria and her home.

  • I spent three very pleasant days in Sydney in the B&B of Victoria Hopkins. The 19th Century house is decorated with taste and simplicity. Comfort and cleanliness are two major assets. As a host Victoria is welcoming and friendly, discreet and helpful. We had some brief and interesting conversations. If I were to travel to Sydney again I would be delighted to stay once more in Victoria's "grand home"

  • Victoria was a wonderful hostess, we felt very welcomed. Her house is beautiful and our room was very clean and comfortable. The only problem for us was the position of our room which meant that we had constant sounds of busy Darlinghurst.

    This was such a great place to stay. The house itself is amazing, both on the outside and inside. The interior was (I believe) restored recently by Victoria, and the attention to detail is just fantastic. Victoria was also a wonderful host. :) I was also very fond of the location; a 5 minute walk up the streets gets you to the Kings Cross subway station, and the entire area (walking north and/or east) is non-stop cafes and shops. It was a shame I wasn't able to stay in Sydney longer, because this was a fantastic apartment!

    Great little place, well not little with four bedrooms, more compact than anything, surrounded by an open cafe across the road, a corner store and a pub nearby, along with Victoria Street shops a block down and Sydney city only a relaxing stroll away. Victoria epitomises what's good about BnB, good affordable accommodation, a very welcoming host, a morning cuppa with a smile and location, location....would definitely stay again.

  • I was fortunate to have an extended stay at Victoria's house. It was my home in Sydney for over two months, and I must say that Victoria as the very pleasant and accommodating host, along with her beautiful house and the fantastic location, were all part of making my time in Sydney really unique and memorable. This must be the most perfect place for a Sydney stay. It's located absolutely in the middle of everything! Very close to Oxford street and Kings Cross. Surrey Hills, CBD, Paddington, galleries, attractions and shopping, etc. are all just a stroll away. Lots of buses very close by will take you to beaches and beyond. Located right next to heaps of nice cafes and restaurants . The house is really beautiful and comfortable. Bedroom and bathroom are both of great size and are super neat and clean as is the rest of the house. Victoria is a great host, I felt very welcome in her home and she was always very helpful whenever I had a question. I give her and her place my very best recommendations.

  • Beautiful home in wonderful area. Close to public transportation but also a nice walk to the City. Lots of unique places to eat around the area. Victoria was a great host - full of suggestions of places to visit and eat. Accommodating to our travel schedule. Exceptional stay.

  • An outstanding stay. Victoria's place is beautifully appointed, very spacious and very conveniently located. It's just a short walk from the King's Cross train station, and a short walk to all the culture in Kings Cross, Surrey Hills, and Darlinghurst. It's a slightly longer walk to sites in and around the CBD, or there are hundreds of nearby buses you can take. The only issue was that Victoria's place is so central, it is more noisy than I'm used to. Overall though, would rank as one of the nicest places I've ever stayed in and would definitely book again.

  • Victoria was a great host and the her house is gorgeous in all it's shades of white, Even better than the pics on airbnb ! Very well located is a huge plus. I would recommend her place wholeheartedly.

  • Victoria was a very welcoming host. The spacious bedroom made a pleasant stay. The house is very tidy and organised and a showcase of her talent at interia decorating.
