Great Holiday Accommodation
The property was excellent, with all amenities stocked before arrival. Met with host, Herb, at the door and he was very welcoming. The house is the perfect distance from the city, allowing for a quiet retreat after a busy day in the CBD. Beds were very comfortable and the AC is set in zones, which is perfect for those who fight over the thermostat. All in all, a home away from home!

Superb Vacation
Our family had a phenomenal vacation. The property is in a great location to enjoy day trips to Sydney and the many nearby beaches. Downtown Lane Cove West is only a mile away and provides easy access to groceries, restaurants, and many shops. We couldn’t have picked a better place to stay. The property itself is roomy, well appointed, and a comfortable place to relax between activities. It is a nice home away from home. Herb, the owner, is delightful. He went out of his way to be helpful throughout our stay and we had a lot of good laughs together. Herb, thanks for the wonderful stay. We will give you a shout next time we are in town.

Darling on Garling
Excellent stay! Kitchen was well stocked, host was generous with supplies. Bathrooms and bedrooms had plenty of linens. 8 min walk to bus stop and 25 min walk to shops. Plenty of space, though beds were worn. Pool table was an extra bonus surprise for kids!

Pet friendly home away from home
We stayed at Darling on Garling for 3weeks whilst our home was going through repairs. It was the perfect house and we instantly felt relaxed and at home as soon as we walked through the door. When we arrived Herb had supplied us with a welcome pack of milk, eggs, bread, butter, fruit and cereal which was amazing. The house was clean, spacious and warm. Perfect for our small dog with an enclosed area for him to walk around. Off street parking was great and just a 5min drive or a 15min walk to Lane Cove and it’s shops, bars and restaurants. I would not hesitate to recommend Herb and his lovely house. Thank you so much for letting us enjoy your lovely home. Louise
