Forsyth B&B is a beautiful house in a great location. Gary and Julie were fantastic hosts and nothing was too much trouble for them. Upon our arrival in Sydney, Gary collected us from the airport. We stayed with Gary and Julie for 6 nights. When it was time for us to leave, Gary kindly drove us to the car hire... More

After a long flight from the UK, we were met at the airport by Julie who took us back to the B&B. From the front it looks quite normal, a pretty little house. However get inside and we were welcomed to a modern house that would be our home for 4 nights. The room and bathroom were spotless, well decorated... More

Stayed here for 2 nights, on our arrival in Sydney. Great location, close in, easy to get downtown, but a quiet neighborhood. Stunning interior space, both for breakfast and the rooms. Gary and Julie are excellent hosts, knowledgeable and helpful. Can't miss place.

Forsyth B&B - fantastic location close to the city and main tourist sights. Fantastic hosts - Gary and Julie offer very clean and comfortable accommodation, fantastic home prepared breakfast (even delivering early morning coffee to our room before actual breakfast), local knowledge, and enjoyable conversations.

My husband and I spent four nights here in April 2013. Gary and Julie go to great lengths to make you feel welcome and comfortable in Sydney. Gary walked us up the street to exchange money and buy a bus pass. Every morning, they would inquire about our sightseeing plans and make helpful suggestions. The food and room exceed your... More

I don't want to reiterate what all of the other reviews have said, instead on want to focus on what could be unique to Forsyth. Gary and Julie are fantastic, but this goes above and beyond what a normal B&B usually offers. They are almost like a personal concierge, in addition to tremendous hosts. They didn't just offer input or... More

My husband & I spent a night (7/4/13) at Forsyth Bed & Breakfast, We had a fantastic stay. Room and ensuite was 'squeaky' clean, breakfast was amazing and Gari & Julie couldn't be nicer. What a wonderful oasis amidst the rush & bussle of Sydney. No comparison what so ever with a high rise apartment or hotel. Don't hesitate to... More

We spend here 4 nights after the long inter-continental flight from Europe and found this an ideal place to settle down. The hosts Gery and Julie are very hospitable and friendly, very interesting to talk to during breakfast, and a source of useful tips and hints about Sydney. They are very flexible to accomodate to the needs of their guests.... More

Glad, that you enjoyed the range of restaurants Glebe has to offer. Value for money dining, is so important and I am sure other travelers will appreciate your review. The additional luggage rack suggestion is also being investigated, thank you for the idea. More

Our first experience with Gary let us know that he goes above and beyond what anyone can expect. It was like staying with family or friends--he picked us up from the cruise ship, took us to get cash at an ATM, then to buy the week transportation passes, then dropped us off at the hotel he had recommended because he...
