As one of Sydney's best boutique stays, all too often this beautiful property flies under the radar. However, its strong word of mouth and high endorsement by close friends and family see a strong following by those in the know.

St. Marks Randwick is the epitome of a local guest house. Located in a leafy street stretched with colonial-style mansions doused with high-tech extensions and renovations, this boutique guest house stands out in the neighbourhood. With its claim to fame being the once-family home of the 'Jones' family, one of Australia's most loved luxury retailers, this guest house has done everything in its power to pay homage to its stylish past and keep within the suggested brand guidelines.

Think monochromatic interiors, historically manicured tiling, and a private courtyard sprinkled with tropical palms, bamboo, and a pop of hot pink bougainvillaea. This is Randwick's local slice of heaven, tucked behind towering green hedges.

Various guest rooms can accommodate both singles and groups of up to four people. Guest rooms also feature a handy mini fridge and a kitchenette with a sink. These amenities are perfect for business travellers or guests who are in Sydney for extended stays and wish to retreat home in the evenings. To enhance the self-catering experience, the guest house also offers a shared kitchenette with a complete array of dishes and utensils, ensuring you feel right at home.

Within walking distance of Randwick's Australian Turf Club, Centennial Park, Prince of Wales Hospital, Coogee Beach, UNSW, and Moore Park Entertainment quarters, it is no wonder guests continue to return year after year to this secret slice of local life.
