We all have expectations. Sometimes they are met, sometimes not, but rarely are they changed for the better. Tara guest house changed and exceeded our expectations. Tara is a guest house in an urban setting so there is some noise but with that you do get easy access to restaurants, transportation and entertainment. We were there for four nights, during... More

I stayed at Tara for two nights in January, having booked it after I read the reviews on TripAdvisor. And it exceeded all my expectations! Brom and Julian are first class hosts that provide excellent accomodation and excellent service. I stayed at the back room, which was big, light and airy. It was more like a suite as it also... More

Back in germany and after months of work I must say thank you to brom and julian from tara guesthouse. We spent last year in january 3 weeks at tara guesthouse with our 11 months old daughter antonia and we had such a great time. It is difficult for me to describe all in english, so I will switch to... More

We booked the room with the telescope and really liked it. Think about lots of space, light and a view of the backyard. No need for window shades, there was plenty of privacy and during the night, you can watch the stars from your comfy bed. We were able to leave the windows open all the time, insuring constant fresh... More

The "excellent" reviews say it all - we were travelling with 2 kids and I wasn't entirely sure that this would be the most suitable place to recover from jetlag and start our first visit to Australia, but by breakfast time I was already congratulating myself on booking 4 nights here (double room at front and telescope room at back)....

I have just returned from another trip to Sydney where I stayed, yet again at the delightful Tara. I am never disappointed at at what awaits me there- from the gracious hosts, the lovely house or the excellent service- the breakfast has to be seen to be believed. If you are looking for a b and b of an exceptionally,... More

Was it luck or a bit of fate that this place happened to have a cancellation at the same time my original plans fell through? Just prior to my arrival in Sydney during New Year's 2011 I was informed by the lovely owners Julian and Brom that though they are typically fully booked 6 months in advance, they had an... More

We stayed for two nights in this fantastic B&B and were bowled over by the sheer excellent service And bonhomie the hosts. Julian picked us up from the airport and made us feel instantly welcome. We had two rooms one ensuite on the front of the house and a shared bathroom room on the rear. Regarding comments about street noise... More

If it's good a good breakfast you want with well informed hosts, this is the place to stay. However, sleepless nights-outrageous street-traffic, sunlight streaming in your window due to curtainless and blindless windows, one sitting for breakfast-8.30am-, no kettle no tea bags no coffee in your room, dogs barking at 7am, fluff on your bedroom floor and someone else's wet...
