Miller's on Kent - in the heart of Sydney!

Fantastic location and a lovely homely feel to the property. Even though the house is an easy walk to so many fantastic popular areas of Sydney, it was quiet and felt like a home. We loved all the personal touches like books on all the bookshelves and artworks around the space. Our kids loved the kids books provided. It was a lovely home away from home and so nicely and functionally decorated. The beds and pillows were comfy, there was space to spread out and lovely water views from the front windows and upstairs balcony.

There were only a few small things and we understand they come standard with these heritage houses. Firstly, the stairs are very steep and wouldn’t suit older people or families with younger kids. The bathroom has a shower over an old claw foot bath with shower curtains around it which was a bit tricky to get in to and the shower curtains and bath didn’t feel super clean. There is also a window from the bathroom to an enclosed courtyard which is locked open, meaning morning and evening showers were a bit chilly.

Location was excellent. Close to The Rocks, Darling Harbour and Circular Quay. Good for family of four. Comfortable beds. Good kitchen facilities.

Location location location. Opposite the Langham, sea views on a lovely street. Loved the old pub and restaurants just down the road. The Miller’s point area is cool, the waterfront has been developed recently and has superb dining/running/walking from Darling Harbour to the Opera House. The house is from 1882 - so authentic! 3 stories, comfortable beds, nice roof terrace and decor.

The steps are many, narrow and steep but that’s a historic home for you. It would not suit older people or small children. For our age group it was fine.

The house was in a fabulous location, very comfortable beds and functional kitchen. Cosy lounge and cute deck upstairs. The stairs are extremely steep though and were a bit of a shock to us at first. We did acclimate eventually, but I would not recommend elderly people without steady limbs to stay here because of the two long flights that are necessary to climb to bedrooms and the bathroom. The claw foot bath is stylish, but also rather dicey to stand up in without taking great care not to slip. Some sort of safety rail would be a good idea I think. We used a hand towel in the bottom of the bath to make it safer. Bear in mind we are all only in our fifties. The tea bags unsealed and plopped in a bowl on the kitchen bench were stale and unusable and no coffee pods provided despite a coffee machine there… seemed a bit lacking in thoughtful touches. Also while the house was clean, the stairs were incredibly dusty, top of AC also- felt like a spring clean is in order. However overall it was a very pleasant stay and perfect size for four cousins to stay and play in Sydney.
