About this cottage rental
44 Campbell Street is a delightful weatherboard home built in 1881, purchased by the current owners, Annie and John (Balmain residents of 51+ years), in 1998 and subsequently renovated.
The renovations included the upgrading of an existing artist's garden studio which is the accommodation now offered.
We have been operating Studio 44 as a B&B since Christmas 2015 and have many satisfied and regular guests.
We listed with StayZ in 2017 ( now StayZ/ Vrbo / Expedia ) STRA Reg No 8633
The studio is situated at the rear of the property and has its own outdoor, sunny sitting area facing a large ( by Balmain standards ) shared garden. It has separate access from the street and OFF STREET PARKING is available by prior arrangement.
The studio/cottage is equipped with reverse cycle air conditioning, column heater, internet (incl wi-fi), Smart TV (free to air) and DVD player (incl a selection of movies)
There is a microwave oven, toaster, bar fridge and other appliances to make your stay comfortable.
PLEASE NOTE - we provide ingredients ( coffee, teas, cereals, milk, yogurt, bread, butter, condiments etc ) so that you can prepare your own breakfast and will replace them upon request. Many guests like having breakfast at one of the many nearby restaurants or provide their own to suit special dietary requirements.
The garden is secure and suitable for children and pet dogs.
Dogs are welcome ( 2 maximum ) however we MUST be advised of breed and size at time of booking. A voluntary fee of $20 for one dog and $30 for 2 dogs will apply. Unfortunately we can’t accommodate cats
Ferries connecting to the city and to Parramatta & Cockatoo Island are within a short walk at the Balmain (Thames Street) wharf and help make Studio 44 a great base for exploring Sydney Harbour and the city.
Buses to the city leave from Gladstone Park at the top of our street.
Balmain village complete with numerous restaurants, pubs, shops and a Woolworths supermarket is only a leisurely stroll away.
Many guests take the opportunity to explore historic Balmain while staying with us and we provide a detailed map of suitable walks.
Our preferred minimum stay is two nights however, we may be able to accommodate a single night stay subject to negotiation.
Standard check out time is 10.00 am and check in 2.00 pm however, this can be varied if the studio is not occupied before or after you arrive.
Hosts are fully vaccinated against COVID - 19

They were a very welcoming and lovely couple. The unit was clean, comfortable, sunfilled with good light and airflow. The linens and tableware were of high quality.The location was amazing- a short walk to the wharf, the main drag and a short ferry ride into town.I love Balmain and really enjoyed my stay. The only downside to the accommodation, which is mentioned in the ad- is that the unit is in the shared backyard and there isnt a lot of privacy, if they or the grandchild are enjoying their yard. It's a great place to have as a base to explore, but isn't ideal if you are going to be around the house a lot during the day.

The cottage was comfortable, clean, quiet and well equipped. It's a lovely setting in the garden with views. The hosts made me feel very welcome, also bringing me a thoughtful plate of fruit during my stay.

John and Annie were great hosts. We appreciated the food that was made available to us. We were able to do our washing. Balmain is an easy ferry ride away from Sydney Harbour and the town of Balmain is delightful. We would definitely recommend staying with John and Annie in their lovely studio. We enjoyed our chats together on the patio.
