An Oasis in the City — Balmain, Sydney
The Oasis is ideally situated for visitors to Sydney - Circular Quay (for the CBD, Rocks & Opera House) is a seven-minute ferry ride away. It is only a two-minute walk to the water or parks (with trees filled with birdsong), cafes and shops.
Your private deck offers views over Sydney Harbour and is an ideal spot at sunset.
The Oasis features a spacious, light-filled room with queensize bed and an ensuite bathroom.
I have really travelled the world & this is by FAR the best most beautiful + FUN B&B I have ever known.
Such lovely views, vibes & colourful birds in the morning chirping to us.
Thank you Lisie & Neil for your warmth & hospitality. We have enjoyed it so much, couldn't wait to get home to it every night after our days out.
Poppi is beautiful and so is your home. Well done, it is a wonderful life you have created.
Enjoyed our evening drinkie-poos on the deck. Such fun. We will ALWAYS remember The Oasis in the City - how aptly named!
Much love.

We fell in love with the place as soon as we walked in. The area is beautiful. We had a great time walking around Balmain and using the ferries and buses.
Very lovely couple and very nice and hospitable, giving with time and information. Poppi is a beautiful lovely dog and I want to take her home with me.
Sorry for being a gobble guts with the food, it was very lovely, and the bed was so comfortable that we did not want to get up..

Wow! What a great place to stay, and pet-friendly too! We all totally enjoyed our stay. You exceeded our expectations with all your little extras.
What a fantastic haven! Fab views, peaceful, relaxing, comfortable… Great local environment, lots of special eating experiences, not to mention the wonderful muesli, marmalade + jam (Yum!) Many thanks.

We loved staying here. Rarely do you find a place that exceeds its promo.
A peaceful haven in a village setting, in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Grace a vous, notre 'honeymoon' commence admirablement bien! Votre B&B est vraiment charmant. Coup de Coeur pour le jacuzzi!
Thank you Neil for the private guided tour and the discovery of the Aussie beer... Nous n'avons maintenant plus qu'une seule envie: revenir a Sydney! Amicalement.

I loved staying at An Oasis in the City and would very highly recommend it. I stayed for 4 blocks of around 7 nights each and it was such a beautiful, nurturing and lovely place.
Lizzie, Neil and Gracie (the beautiful dog) were gorgeous and I felt so at home and could have stayed much longer.
I also loved Balmain and found people in shops and cafes really friendly - there's a great health food shop with excellent coffee and really good breakfasts. Thank you to Neil, Lizzie and Gracie for wonderful stays!
