It's worth staying in
Sydney for the affordable luxe of this exceptional B&B. The owner used to travel around
Canada for work and she decided to offer everything she wished she'd had while on the
road. The result is a mix of heritage and modern design, the softest sheets you can ima-
gine, guest bathrobes, plenty of delicious-smelling soaps, chocolates next to the bed and
so many other comfort-giving details we can hardly begin to list them.
