The Old Dairy loft, inner city accommodation

'The Old Dairy loft' is a recently completed loft apartment designed by award winning architects MCK. Originally the site of a dairy farm in the 1850's the new design incorporates an original brick wall, forming a backdrop to the new layout.

It features beautiful mahogany ceilings and cabinetry and is fully carpeted throughout. There is an open plan kitchen/dining/living area with views over an adjacent park. The bedroom has built in wardrobes, a king sized bed which can be reconfigured into 2 singles if required and an ensuite bathroom. There are laundry facilities and a fully functioning kitchen, complete with oven, gas cooktop, fridge and dishwasher. There is a split system heating/cooling system to keep the interiour at a comfortable temperature. You also have TV, DVD, a Bose iphone dock sound system and free wifi.

Free parking is available on the street but it is limited to 2 hours from 10am-6pm. We do have some guest permits available for those who need a car while they are staying. Please let us know if you require a guest pass as there will be an extra charge for these passes.

The loft is adjacent to Moore Park and only minutes to the famous eateries of Surry Hills and Redfern. Fox Studios, Centennial Park and the SCG are a short stroll across Moore Park. The property is 2 kilometers from Sydney city centre and only a 10 minute drive from the airport.

You will find the loft a quiet place to rest but close enough to all the entertainment Sydney has to offer. There are numerous bike paths in the area which lead you from your door to Woolloomooloo, the Opera House and other Sydney attractions. Central Station is a 15 walk away through the leafy streets of Surry Hills and the beaches are a short bus ride away.

Can be a 5 Star - Only a 4
Let's start with what knocks this from a 5 to a 4. My wife is a neat freak. She first noticed the crums under the toaster and food scraps in the utensil drawer, couch wasn't cleaned with whatever slips inbetween the cushions and dead bugs behind furniture that can be easily moved and vacuumed. The kitchen needed more furniture. The towels left for us looked like they were washed and left to dry in the machine. The cotton towels had the consistency of sandpaper. After rewashing, the towels were better plush and ready for use. There were a shortage of utensils provided and we needed to hand wash those if the dishwasher wasn't full. This is not a car friendly neighborhood if you intend to have one during your stay, however parking passes were available if you wanted to find a spot to park in the neighborhood. My advice would be to find a parking spot in the neighborhood and leave it there for the entirety of your stay. Sydney is an easy city to get around using public transportation which we did for 2 weeks. Busses, light rail and trains will take you to wherever you want to visit without any long waits. The transit passes were left in the unit and we used them and were able to use refill the fares on them online. This unit is a very comfortable unit (not withstanding the initial impressions I mantion above). This unit is located in a great neighborhood where great coffee shops, restaurants and other essentials are nearby. This unit is a solid 4star and can easily be a 5.

Wonderful space.
The loft is a beautifully renovated loft with everything you need. Perfect for a city break! Beautiful area with lots of green spaces and trees. Close to restaurants, cafes, Moore Park and the light rail. Easy access to the city. Some noise at night but it is the festive season!

Great place in Surry Hills
I loved staying at Sarah's place in Surry Hills. Great location near lots of restaurants in a fun lively neighborhood, but away from busy streets so pretty quiet. Nice little park across the street. Well designed, clean lines, very comfortable apartment. I loved Sydney and would definitely stay here again if I can come back.

A great base for a long weekend
The apartment was a great base to spend the weekend catching up with friends and seeing the sites of Sydney. The location is fantastic and the apartment had everything we needed. Only suggestions is for some additional lighting as the apartment could be a bit dark at times and a full length mirror would be useful. We also didn’t get a response from the owner until after we had left when we asked if a late check out was a possibility due to an evening flight (we had messaged the week prior to our booking). But all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful stay and quiet/great location in Surry Hills
The property owners (Sarah) were very prompt in providing any assistance we needed, even prior to our visit. We ran into some heavy rain during our stay, and the wind broke their umbrella, bit they were very accommodating, even though we offered to replace. The opal cards they provided for public transport were very useful and downtown (CBD) Sydney was 15 minutes away. Groceries, good bars, bakery and restaurants were all conveniently nearby.

Fantastic Flat, Location and Hosts!!!
This flat has everything one needs for a fantastic vacation getaway. The bed is super comfortable and the rain shower is lovely. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need, but there are many excellent restaurants in the area if you don’t want to cook on your vacation. One thing we should mention is that the microwave doesn’t work. Sarah was a very good communicator and check in was a breeze. We will gladly stay here again and again.
