Probably best reviewed as a series of bullet points. In no particular order... - 15-35 minutes from Circular Quay at Sydney Harbor, depending on traffic. - Beautiful house & garden. - Dog Oscar is a lot of fun. He'll play with you for as long as you want to. Friendly & sweet & adorable. In fact, now we're thinking of... More

Very friendly place to stay, the breakfast is amazing : tasty, colorful... Not for the business trip because the breakfast served at 9am no possibilitly to change and after more than 40' door to door (CBD) by bus/train, but perfect for vacation. One bad point : the planes at 6am not stop just on the top of your heard... I... More

We thank these guests from Singapore for taking the time to write this review. Both their positive observations and their misgivings have been noted – we will do what we can to maintain the good and address the issues found wanting. As previously noted, we acknowledge the noise and its varying affect on different guests – some are truly overwhelmed... More

I spent a week in Tara and the experience was wonderful! Rooms: All rooms have their own styles and characters. You can choose either one to stay in and nothing would go wrong! I stayed in 2 different rooms during my stay and I loved them both! They rooms were spacious, linens were spotless and the bed were very comfortable.... More

My wife and travelled to Sydney at the beginning of March in order to get onto a cruise ship for a cruise of the South Pacific. We spent one week in Sydney prior to getting onto the ship. Four nights were spent at Tara with Brom and Julian. We picked this B & B based on the excellent reviews on... More

We had a 6 people group with parents and stayed here for 2 nights. All the details are quite beautiful, considerate and friendly. The rooms upstairs are fantastic! Breakfast should be NO.1 here. Julian and Brom are such nice people. We love them! You can play ball with Oscar (the cutest dog here) the morning after the very generous breakfast... More

There's more to this B&B than fabulous breakfasts and huge, beautifully considered rooms-the main attraction are the hosts..Julian and Brom were fantastic hosts, sensitive to each guests requirements, providing tailored accurate information, insiders top-tips for sydney and great fun. Can highly recommend, as a solo travellor. If you're looking for sterile, faceless, dull corporate accomodation, book elsewhere

Julian and Brom provide excellent service and wonderful group breakfasts at their TARA B&B in Sidney. Brom will pick you up and return you to the airport, and they are located on a bus line that goes straight downtown to the Circular Quay. We stayed three nites. We spent one day roaming in downtown Sidney, touring the Opera House, and... More

It's a big old house with a lot of character and the hosts are keen to please. A little too keen for some, as eating breakfast with other guests at fixed times (9.00 am on weekends) is almost compulsory. You will hear about all the fascinating previous guests while eating a top-class breakfast, one of the best you will find.... More

Clive is to be thanked for noting the positives of his experience along with his concerns. We apologise for apparently overwhelming with our enthusiasm but stand by our practice of serving breakfast at a communal table along country house lines – we were surprised at the expressed reluctance to engage and share in this joyous daily celebration as it is...

We booked the first 3 nights of our honeymoon at Tara after reading all the reviews on this site. We had never traveled so far from home, never stayed at a bed and breakfast- so it was a lot to take it! From the moment we were picked up at the air port, I felt welcome. Julian and Brom treated...

We stayed at the Tara Guest House in Sydney for 3 nights in March, culminating a multi-week trip to Australia. This was the most memorable of all the places we stayed, mostly because the hosts are so warm and delightful. Their home is uniquely welcoming and yes, they create fantastic breakfasts. Julian and Brom are personable, great conversationalists, and highly... More
