Why you stayAs cliched as it may sound, this place makes you feel like you’re in somebody’s home – and they have excellent taste. That’s what owner Angela Kasimis was going for when she enlisted the help of Sydney’s Pattern Studio to revamp the two-storey terrace, which dates back to 1874. The crisp façade is sure to catch your eye as you walk past, and cross the threshold, and you’re met with a rush of luxe finishes and elegant details, including marble tabletops, antique mirrors and striking light fixtures. You get a strong sense, too, of all the lives the building has lived over the years, first as a pub and later as a shoe factory, antique shop, tearoom, bank and private detective’s office. It’s truly a pleasure to sit here, and given the flexibility of the eclectic offering, friendly team and value for money, you’ll want to sit here often.
