Tara is a new take on the Sydney bed & breakfast scene which offers guests a gracious and stylish place to stay in the Newtown area of Sydney, 15 minutes from the CBD. We are very close to Sydney and UTS Universities with a great choice of restaurants literally around the corner, as is Sydney’s iconic Enmore theatre, home of the best local and international acts to come to Sydney – even the Rolling Stones have played here. Rooms are seriously generous in size, each with its own character. Please refer to Accommodation & Rates page for more images and pricing.

Think faded glory outside as per Venice and Firenze with clean creative spaces therein, imagine tall ceilings with French doors opening onto large verandahs – More Corbusier than Chippendale, not too twee, not too quiet, more boho than 5 star, more artist’s digs than the Hilton! It has to be said that we offer an urban experience as per Soho, New York, rather than a sojourn in an English rural setting. This is comfortable, informal accommodation and our guests are many and varied including businesspeople, academics, travellers of all ages from home and abroad, architects, writers, musicians, actors and other creative souls with an eye to the good life. We extend a warm welcome to travellers one and all and hope that this will be your home away from home. Please see our listing on TripAdvisor for reviews.

TARA was built in 1886 for a music teacher and 10 years later became a Doctor’s home and surgery until the 1960’s so she has seen a lot in her very full life – Only recently purchased, we are in the process of bringing the old girl back up to scratch. She has come a long way from the dilapidated state she was in and needs some more work to make her perfect but is a gorgeous work in progress. Our early guests will be able to chart that progress as we add bathrooms to all three of the bedrooms eventually enabling us to offer en suite facilities for each room. In the immediate future we are asking our guests to share the existing bathrooms. Prices during our makeover phase are obviously much less than they will be when the duckling has transformed into the beautiful swan.
