This has been highly rated by many and we were not disappointed. The location was perfect...away from the city center but an easy walk there, through the Botanical Gardens or interesting neighborhoods. And the guest house was just lovely. Comfortable accommodations, delightful staff, and a very nice (if somewhat boring) continental breakfast. The hosts were very helpful in providing information. The neighborhood was lively and had great restaurants. We would definitely stay there again should we visit Sydney again.

My wife and I stayed only one night in this super B&B. Keith and Ree do an outstanding job. The rooms are very large and well appointed. The neighborhood is very nice with a lot of restaurants. You can easily walk to major attractions and the harbor.

We spent quite some time reading reviews and researching this place. Large, impersonal hotels just don't do it for me ! Simpsons turned out to be the ideal choice. We arrived at about 7.30am after a very long flight from UK. We received a very warm welcome from the (wise and quietly witty) Keith and (elegant) Marie. We were promptly offered breakfast and given a wonderful introductory briefing. (Keith was there most mornings to offer sage advice). A real bonus was that the Cloud Suite was ready there and then - what more could anyone else ask for? The suite itself was super. It afforded all the luxuries of home and a few treats besides. The bed was supremely comfortable and the jacuzzi added further indulgence after a day's meanderings around Sydney. The house itself oozes elegance from the riches of the library, paintings on the walls to the sumptuous fabrics. At various times of the day the house is filled softly with eclectic
(never cheesy) classical music. Ree, the manager, is a sheer bundle of joy. She is so attuned to people and nothing is too much trouble (don't even mention clothes racks!) I must also mention the delightful Damien who provides gentle, efficient and warm service at breakfast - he is a real asset to Simpsons.

All in all, this is a classy outfit for discerning travellers.It was a superb location from which to discover the delights of Sydney and the restaurants nearby were abundant and of good quality. This introduction to my first trip to Australia set the scene for the rest of the holiday.

You have a great team here and the formula is spot on.Thank you all so much and I hope that we see you all again in the not too distant future.

Maybe 3 1/2 stars, but not 5. I went for 4 because the room we stayed in was tired and needed a freshen-up, but the welcome, the staff and the communal areas of the house are wonderful. Our room (top floor - lots of stairs) I picked as I thought road noise could be an issue in that area. The top floor was fine and had sky-light windows (that opened - fresh air was a great change from big hotel a/c), but the room could do with a repaint and 1 of the cupboard doors fell off slightly when it was windy outside, causing a noise (I wedged it shut and did not complain about it). The shower room worked well, but was not flashy - fine, but not 5 stars. The location is fantastic. There are a many good restaurants within a 10min walk, and the walk to circular quay is beautiful (you have to be good with hills). You'll get personal service and advice here that you would not get from a larger hotel (except maybe the very best) and would greatly add to your stay in Sydney if you don't know the city already. But the room we had let the place down.
