Our apartment located in Potts Point is lovely and very easy to look after. It is a home away from home in a vibrant leaf lined village environment only 2 kms from the city of Sydney. You can walk everywhere, shops, restaurants, and just about everything you can imagine are within a 5 minute walk. .
There is a gym and pool in the building. A concierge is at the desk 24 hours a days. It’s a completely secure building.
Our cleaner is available on Saturdays if our guests would prefer to utilize a cleaner. At times if we have back to back guests we may require the cleaner to come in.
The space
Lovely apartment, located in a security building with city and water views in leafy Potts Point. There is parking for one car if required.
We have 2 bedrooms however as it’s not a big apartment it is really not suitable for bigger families. It’s probably more suitable for a couple but we can adapt. We have 2 beautiful rescue cats, we love swaps with fellow cat lovers however we can arrange alternative arrangements if this doesn’t work for our guests. We are always happy to swap and look after our hosts cats as we do our own.
Guest access
There are lifts directly from the lobby and basement car park. It is very easy flat access from the street. There is a 24/7 concierge who lets you in if you forget your 🔑
Notes
Our homes have been listed with PLU for some years. We have our holiday home and cabin an hour south of sydney in Bundeena. Also our Potts Point apartment which we rent (from my best friend) while we wait for the apartment we have bought off the plan to be completed.

Neighbourhood
Potts Point is a small and densely populated area in inner-city Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Potts Point is located 2 kilometres east of the Sydney central business district and is part of the local government area of the City of Sydney.
It is a cosmopolitan area of Sydney with many popular restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and facilities.
From the quiet residential streets of gorgeous Art Deco and Victorian homes to the busy, noisy and neon-lit streets of the former red-light district of Kings Cross, this precinct has it all. Locals hang out in Llankelly Place, to dine on a laneway with giant 70’s-style circular lights suspended above the pathway, that connects Kings Cross with Potts Point. You can indulge in a glass of fine French wine, Mod-Oz food for breakfast, lunch or dinner or just sip on a coffee and watch the world go by. Discover the innovative restaurants and small bars of the Roslyn Quarter and Kellett Street, lit with fairy lights and lined with established leafy trees.
Getting to my home
Potts point can be accessed by local bus, train to Kings Cross (10 minute walk to apartment), taxis, ubers, car etc. It is an easy drive from Sydney airport less than 30 minutes it can also be easily accessed by train.
Nearest airport
Potts Point to Sydney Airport (SYD) by train The train journey time between Potts Point and Sydney Airport (SYD) is around 19 min and covers a distance of around 11 km.

Getting around
As above there is a local bus less than 2 minutes away and a train station less than 10 minutes walk. It is easy to walk to many of Sydney sites including the harbour bridge, opera house, city, art gallery, museum etc.
My main transport is walking, it is a very central suburb and very easy to walk just about everywhere.

Both Alex and I can catch up for a meal, coffee, drink or to show guests around our neighbourhood.
Peta's and Alex's Potts Point apartment was perfect in every way. The location is outstanding and eliminates the need for a car as a train station and bus stops are very close. There's a supermarket within the building itself, and restaurants, coffee shops, bottle shops, boutique shops, gelato, and city parks are all within a few blocks. The urban view from the apartment is entertaining, and the interior most comfortable. An added bonus for us: Nellie and Tillie are two of the easiest and most affectionate cats we could ever hope to hang out with. Two weeks wasn't enough to experience all that Sydney offer from such an ideal location, so we look forward to returning for more!
Thanks Michele what lovely feedback. We feel blessed to live where we do. We are city people and Potts Potts offers the city advantage whilst in a village environment.
We had a marvellous stay at Peta and Alex's lovely apartment. So central to all of the Potts Point, Kings Cross area.
The apartment is well equipped and very secure, Wonderful nearby restaurants and just 20 minutes to the city by bus.
It was sad to say goodbye to the two beautiful cats when we left.
You’re welcome to catnap them occasionally if you need a cat fix.

Great communication throughout.
Peta came in after some back to back exchanges, so I hoped all was fine for her.
PETA kindly restocked essentials for me.
The house was fine after my long absence, so I can only thank Peta for that, as she was the last guest..
I hope we meet one day
PETA y ALEX were amazing guests,
getting to know both of them was a pleasure for James and I.
Very respectful of our home and left the place as good as was received
Would definitely recommend as they are true PLUers and hope to someday get to exchange with them down under
Safe travels stay in touch
Thank you. We’re missing Tulúm already. Just got back to Oz x
It was just short of a year ago when Peta and Alex connected with Les and I to offer us a non-sim exchange opportunity. Their timing was perfect as we were also looking for a place to stay in Sidney, Australia for 2024. We clicked right away and everything fell into place.
Peta and Alex were fantastic guests at our place. They left our home in perfect condition and it was a real pleasure having a chat with them as we showed them around our condo. We touched base throughout our exchange. They were very understanding and just went with the flow when our elevators broke down for half a day during their stay. We would happily have them back any time!
Peta and Alex were excellent guests! Communicating with them was easy and upon departure they left our home as clean and tidy as it was when we left. Thanks Peta and Alex for leaving us gifts from Australia to say thanks for your stay. Very thoughtful!
We finally got the chance to host Winnie and Les a year after our non sim stay in their lovely Vancouver Island apartment.
They were great guests, fab communicators, clean, neat and wonderful sitters for our rescue cats.
As we are currently overseas and have back to back stays Winnie sent a detailed check out email with photos of how they left our apartment. Everything is perfect.
Winnie and Les are welcome back anytime.
We loved our stay in Lesley and Phil’s gorgeous Cahors apartment. Their home is well
equipped, comfortable and less than 10 minutes walk into town. The location is perfect. Being able to park securely within the property is an added bonus.
We had a great time in the area exploring the town, little villages, the markets and food.
We managed to do well over 1000 kms in 4 days exploring The Lot area of France and really really enjoyed it.
We thank you for sharing your home and hope to meet up in Australia or somewhere in the PLU network in the near future.
Michele and Larry are such lovely people who looked after our apartment and precious rescue cats as they would their own.
They have been beyond complimentary about Sydney, their stay in our apartment, our cats and the local area.
Michele is a great communicator and has stayed in touch since arranging our swap.
We look forward to meeting up with them in Spain hopefully next year.
This stay did not go ahead.
Amazing stay at Sheila and James lovely home in Tulum. They are great hosts and had terrific suggestions of where to go, where to eat and local attractions. We enjoyed meeting them both and our time together.
Thank you Sheila and James.

We loved having Paul and Pamela stay. They looked after our home and adored cats like gold dust. They were kind enough to have milk, bread and basics in the fridge when we arrived home.
Thanks to you both for being the best house guests, cat sitters and new PLU mates.
Fabulous guests. Left our home as they found it, posted beautiful photos and took their own linen. We would be very pleased to have them back whenever they need a break out if Sydney.
We’ve had a lovely stay in Winnie and Les’s gorgeous apartment. It is ideally located a short way out of the downtown area, has beautiful views and a very comfortable king size bed. Winnie and Les are gracious and generous hosts. We look forward to welcoming them in Australia in 2024.
We really enjoyed staying at Susan and Murray’s lovely home. It is comfortable, immaculate and best of all has very comfortable beds. I love a comfy bed when I travel.
We loved the Kelowna area and had the opportunity to experience the amazing lake, lunch at a winery, craft markets, fruit stalls and more.
We didn’t get a chance to meet Susan however we’re still on our Canadian road trip and travelling through Kelowna in a few days so will meet up then.
Thanks again Susan and Murray for a very comfortable stay in a lovely home.
Thank you for staying with us. It was lovely getting to know you. I'm so pleased you enjoyed our lovely home.

Alex and I live Potts Point just minutes from Sydney CBD. Lambeth Walk Beach Home, Bundeena and Jacksons Cottage are our holiday homes.
We are avid overseas and domestic travellers and love receiving offers. We have a variety of open periods at our Sydney properties please contact us for availability.
Our thoughts for the next couple of years are as follows but open to all offers.
Globe sim/non sim swaps:
Hobart - late January 2025
New Zealand - late 2025
Spain/Portugal - May/June 2026
We love to swap overseas and in beautiful Australia on a very regular basis.
We prefer cities to quiet country areas. Usually there are only 2 of us travelling although sometimes we might travel with a couple of family members.
