“Sophie and Michael's home was the perfect swap. They are both extremely welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their house is spacious, clean and comfortable. It's only a 7-minute walk to the train which takes you right to central Sydney. We watched their dog Milli during our stay, she is sweet, quiet and agreeable. Highly recommend, would happily stay again. A+”

About our home
* We welcome adults and children over 12*
A large home located in a leafy suburb of character homes and big gardens, near the train line with easy access to all Sydney has to offer. Around 20 mins on train (10 mins drive) to downtown / city centre. Cluster of shops, restaurants and cafes just moments away. Major shopping malls, theatre precinct, restaurants and cinemas are located in neighbouring Chatswood, commercial centre of Sydney's Lower North Shore.
The hub of the home is the open plan kitchen and family room which leads out to the patio and large backyard bathed in northerly sun.
Ground level - Master bedroom with queen size Tempur bed and new ensuite. A second bedroom has a king single bed and separate bathroom.
Upstairs - 2 bedrooms with a queen bed in one and double bed in the other with shared bathroom.
The family room is equipped with 65-inch ultra HD TV, Apple TV, Netflix and Foxtel channels available. Our kitchen is fitted with quality European appliances, filtered water tap, Nespresso coffee machine - the keen chef will feel right at home in our well appointed kitchen. You'll enjoy all the mod cons of a home away from home. Tennis courts, children's playground, sports oval, chic cafes, farmers markets, theatre and cinemas are moments away.
Roseville is a family-friendly and safe neighbourhood less than 12 km (7.5 miles) from Sydney city centre. The train station is about a 7 minute walk from our home.

all within 20 mins to an hour's drive. Visit the iconic Blue Mountains and the beaches of the Central Coast within two hours drive. Venture inland to the Hunter Valley to sample the region’s finest drop and produce.
The 6th member of our family is our adorable (low maintenance and gentle!) mini schnauzer who would love to be cared for during your stay.
