Testimonials

Conlon & Co have looked after the leasing of my apartment for the last eleven years when I moved to the USA with work. Over that time Julia Conlon has kept my apartment leased through a lot of difficult times including a leaky roof. Throughout this time, Julia kept the apartment leased, dealt with the Strata Board, handled tenant issues, and organized the necessary updates, repairs and renovations, which were considerable. I cannot recommend Conlon & Co enough for all their hard work, and all their diligence in keeping everything together whilst I am so far away. Thanks Conlon & co!

"We stayed at 35 Upper Almora St Mosman for our daughter's wedding last week. What an amazing house, it suited us perfectly, convenient to the shops and cafes on Military Rd. The views from the balcony over Balmoral were superb. The house was well equipped with every thing we needed, beds were super comfortable with quality linen. Julia was so helpful when booking and checking in. We would definitely love to stay again". (Anna)

“What can we say.... an amazing place that is well positioned to take advantage of the best Sydney has to offer. A lovely terrace house that has so many fond memories of a family life well lived here. The process of booking was simple and our host Julia was responsive and her added personal touches didn’t go by unrecognised. Forget Sydney CBD, stay here and enjoy this lovely home and the surrounding delights.”

“We stayed at Balmoral Beauty for a holiday over Easter and we had a wonderful time. The house is beautifully furnished and clean and accommodated our family of six adults and three children perfectly. The water views are gorgeous, we had family Easter Sunday lunch on the verandah looking out over the water. Easy walk to the shops, cafes and restaurants. A steep, but short walk down a set of stairs to Balmoral beach. Julia was friendly and easy to deal with and responded quickly to all correspondence. A wonderful house for a family holiday.”

Review of Sydney Property & service

Whilst planning our family trip of a life time we knew we had to book our accommodation in Sydney over new year well in advance. Sadly with only a few months before we were due to travel the owners cancelled. We were really struggling to find anything suitable and were starting to panic a little. It was then that I came across Conlon & Co. Julia could not have been more helpful or patient. The house that she found for us could not have been more perfect and we are so grateful.

The service from Conlon & Co was always professional and even with a time difference of 11 hours was always prompt. The communication we received was excellent and very reassuring.

The house itself was a little oasis in the most amazing location. It is a beautiful heritage home with lots of space for a family (we were a party of 5). The kitchen is well equipped and the aircon in the middle of summer was a god send. The two bathrooms and a separate toilet was really useful. This property is on one level and many of the rooms open out onto a fabulous garden and pool. You really would not think you were in the middle of Sydney.

Erica (the owners) the house keeper could not have been more welcoming or friendly and full of local knowledge. We did not hire a car and did not need one, we could walk over the bridge to the main attractions and used the ferries and Uber for anything else. The area immediately surrounding the house was full of cafe's and restaurants and lovely little shops - everything that you could need.

We could not have been better placed for the New Years fireworks and thoroughly enjoyed walking out amongst all the chaos and fun and retreating back to the house to relax.

We would thoroughly recommend Conlon & Co and the property that we stayed in.

"This property really was the perfect venue for our event. The view from the front lawn, of the Harbour Bridge and city skyline, is magnificent. In my 30 years living in Sydney i don't recall ever seeing a more spectacular or panoramic view of the harbour, and the easterly aspect made the lawn and other entertaining areas very comfortable places to spend a summer afternoon and evening.
Apart from being very attractive and well appointed, we found the interior of the property to be the perfect balance between a capable hospitality venue, with a huge kitchen with ample bench space, lots of ground floor bathrooms, and the more intimate feel of a private home, with cosy living rooms, comfortable spaces and furniture. Our event had 75 guests, and we chose this property on the strength of the view and outdoor spaces alone, but the interior strengths meant this property would have been equally perfect for a a party of 25 or 150.

Street access and parking were important to us, and the two entrances, (one on a dead end) made for very easy access. We were also impressed that a property in this location, with such expansive outdoor spaces could provide such a level of privacy

The owners and agents are all friendly and accommodating. My wife and I are already looking for an excuse to hold another event here. Enjoy"!

“Fantastic House with a Beach House feel. We were two families and the space worked really well - lovely communal rooms where everyone could relax. The upstairs double bedroom has amazing views. A steep but short walk to beautiful Balmoral beach - try a morning dip with the keen locals at the ocean pool - then breakfast at Private Dining Room. Near to Mosman village and buses down to Mosman bay ferry stop. Would recommend without hesitation.” (Helen)

“Julia was fantastic in her communication throughout. The accommodation was clean and a good size for four adults and four children. The location is fantastic, only 10 minutes walk from The Rocks or Barangaroo / Wynyard. The history of the accommodation is amazing. The location is quite noisy through neighbours and local traffic but overall this accommodation is highly recommended. Happy Xmas!!!”

“Beautiful view! Lovely for a large family!”

“Wonderful house in a wonderful location.”

“Great host, prompt responses to questions, fantastic property close to Sydney but secluded with the feeling of being far away. We will definitely be back.” (James)

“I stayed here with my 2 adult daughters, partners and 2 grandchildren. The house was spacious, comfortable, with a well appointed kitchen and comfortable beds. Very close to Mosman shops and an easy walk to the beach. Great family home and despite unseasonally cold and windy weather, we were warm. A home from home!” (Catherine)

“This is THE BEST location for a Sydney vacation stay. Easily convenient to shops, pubs, restaurants, entertainment and all manner of other conveniences. The Rocks neighborhood is bursting with things to do especially on the weekends when the outdoor market is open. Over our two weekends we had the regular street market on the first and then a very upscale street food and chocolate festival on the second. There are plenty of taxis available pus the usual Uber presence. Very accessible to both Circular Quay and Manly harbor 51 Kent is a gem. We had an adult family group of 7 and were very comfortably accomodated. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, devices and crockery. Lovely outdoor sitting area is another plus. Host Julia never seems to sleep responding quickly and effectively to any and all inquiries. We would highly recommend a stay at 51 Kent!” (Patrick)

“Great house for our family of 8 in Sydney for Vivid . Fabulous location. Walked everywhere . Multilevel so lots of stairs. Clean and fresh . Easy checkin /checkout . Highly recommend . ”

“A lovely home. Beautifully restored and impeccably presented. Very clean. A few minutes walk to markets, cafes, museums, circular quay and the bridge. A five-ten minute walk to both Wynyard and circular quay train stations/ferry docks. Convenient supermarket at Wynyard station. Very comfortable beds, good showers that didn't run out of hot water even with 4 of us staying, modern kitchen with dishwasher. Delightful! ”

“Great house and location. The description and pictures are very accurate. Very safe neighborhood. ” (Steven)

“The house is beautiful and very convieniently situated. It has everything you need for a lovely stay. Julia was really helpful and easy to communicate with. Highly recommend staying at the house. ”

"I just wanted to say thank you for my reference for the new property and the great job you have both done as property managers for my time at Alma Street, Paddington.

Always diligent and accommodating, I would certainly recommend you to any investors I know in the future" (Megan).

“Brilliant apartment with fantastic views of the harbour. Julie was great to deal with” (Karl)

“Julia was an excellent host, always replying to my messages quickly. The neighborhood is beautiful, safe, has a great location (walking distance anywhere) and has restaurants, bars, convenience stores and shops a few steps away. The home is beautiful, especially the bathrooms/showers, kitchen and dining room and living room area. The house does have an oldish feel to it as mentioned in its heritage description. The beds are very comfy as well. ” (Magda)

“Julia's place is tremendous! Well located close to The Rocks, spacious and classy I highly recommend a stay. ” (Wade)

“Beautiful spot with wonderful views! So much history around the area and all being used as part of a modern vibrant district. Visit with lots of time to explore. Julia was pleasure to deal with. ”

“This listing is great for groups that want lodging close to the city and that need extra space in addition to bedrooms. I particularly loved the open kitchen and all of the outdoor space. The neighborhood is fairly quiet, but a quick 5-10 minute walk gets you to all the things you need, including coffee, groceries, restaurants, etc.”

“Gorgeous property in a great location! Would definitely stay there again. Perfect for Sydney visitors who want to stay right near the action but not in the middle of the city. Great views of the harbour and walking distance to just about everything. Julia was an excellent host and responded quickly to any communication.”

“The house is in a great location with amazing views from the back windows of Darling Harbour. There are several hotels and some lovely restaurants within a few minutes walk. Just over a 10 minute walk into The Rocks and Circular Quay. ” (Carol)

“This home could not have been more convenient to all the sites of Sydney. We were able to walk to everywhere we wanted to see with no need to rent a car. Beautiful home in a great historic neighborhood. ” (John)

“Thanks Julia, the property was perfect for our group of seven including two kids. We had everything we needed and more for a comfortable stay. Walking distance to everything! We would certainly stay again if holidaying in Sydney.” (Nicole)

“Such a nice, clean house that was perfect for our big family to stay. Made our trip in Sydney perfect. Close to shops and not too far from the CBD. Julia is a great host. Would highly recommend.” (Kimberley)

“Dear Julia, The entire house is excellent from its deco to the amenities provided. The house is clean and in a very good condition. Well taken care of. It houses 12 of us and ample space to move about. The location is great and of course, we will recommend whoever wants to bring their family to opt for this house. You will never regret it. Thank you again Julia.” (Aqma)

“We had a fantastic stay at this house. It had all the amenities needed for a smooth stay with three small children, plenty of space and amazing views. You can't beat the location - we were able to walk to all the main attractions, and it's a beautiful area. Julia was very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had during our stay. Overall, this house made it easy to make the most out of our holiday!”

Dear Julia,

I wish to extend to you, and all members of the Conlon & Co team, my gratitude for your excellent agency services.

The assistance, support, and guidance you have provided in caring for my property on my behalf has brought great peace of mind.

Your meticulous attention to detail, and prompt, detailed reporting has been greatly valued. Being fully informed at all times is of great importance to a property owner!

I have especially appreciated your thoughtful mediation with tenants on my behalf, ensuring that my property remained well maintained, and its value protected.

After deciding to sell the property, I was impressed with the highly professional way in which Conlon & Co organised all arrangements and sought the most effective and cost-efficient approaches. In representing my interests, your thorough research, and knowledgeable advice, brought, to my delight, a highly successful result.

I would not have the slightest hesitation in commending your firm to any property owner and, indeed, will most assuredly employ Conlon & Co again in the future to provide its highly professional services in regard to any other property I may acquire.

Yours Sincerely,

Noel Parrott

“Had a wonderful time in Sydney....the location of the home was perfect! We could easily walk to all of the attractions and loved being able to cook at the house too! Would recommend this house to anyone traveling to Sydney!” (Kim)

“Amazing views of the Harbour, an efficient host, ample space for my multigenerational family, close proximity to shopping areas, secure parking space, gorgeous home furnishings complete with everyday essentials like toiletries and kitchen supplies - what's there not to like about this house? Oh, and don't even get me started on the gorgeous spacious kitchen where we enjoyed having our breakfast and late night suppers, while soaking the city and Harbour views. There was a minor glitch with the TV, but Julia promptly arranged for it to be replaced. All in all, it was a fantastic stay for all of us, and is highly recommended for anyone visiting Sydney!”

“Julia was welcoming, explained the basics and overall it was an easy process. The property was great, perfect location, close to the sights and my family really enjoyed their stay. ”

“Great spot Julia . Amazing stay and all great For sure we will be back . Thanks for all . ”

“Julia was a great host & any of my questions she was very prompt at replying.Fantastic location & beautiful house.Really enjoyed our stay & would highly recommend.Millers Point was a great location with great eateries,easy access to The Rocks & city.”

“Julia was great at communicating before the trip and then when I arrived, showing me around the house and making a great sushi recommendation” (Cate Seago)

“Julia has managed property for me over the last 10 years and I cannot fault her. Her professional approach, efficiency and ability to manage all aspects of the property from quality tenants, regular inspections, appropriate maintenance and rental reviews are excellent. I am currently residing overseas and feel very assured and confident with Julia managing all aspects of the property for me. She is responsive to all issues and should I need to speak with her she is always available”.

“We have had our investment property in the very capable hands of Julia Conlon for over a decade. Over that time Julia has demonstrated a tenacity and professionalism that makes her stand out from her peers. Over the course of the last decade we have pretty much had every Tennant issue present itself in an 1890's terrace. Julia has been proactive and dealt with complex and mundane issues with the same level of attention and motivation. She has proactively kept us informed of market pricing and recommended rental increases. Julia's advice over our recent renovation, has greatly improved the yield on the property. We highly recommend Julia Conlon’s services as a Property Manager”.

I truly appreciate working with you have been such a pleasure over so many years. You are the best management agent I have ever dealt with.

“Your attentiveness and responsiveness has been second to none”

I am amazed at your energy, emails at ungodly hours, always responding promptly.

“Julia is a highly professional and competent property manager. Her organisation and communication skills are outstanding. She responds to enquiries promptly, often within minutes. She sends periodic property reports, performs regular comprehensive inspections, suggests appropriate rent increases to meet the market, and suggests any remedial work that may need to be done. She knows tradesmen that are reliable and competent. I thoroughly recommend her as a property manager. In her decades in the business she has learnt everything there is to know about the property rental market and remains dedicated and approachable in her property management role”.

“We believe that superior performance, consistent commitment, reliability of counselling and advice, when provided, should not be unacknowledged. In the years since Julia has been representing us with our Sydney property we have been greatly impressed by her timely support and communication and rate her, quite simply, the best agent we have had the good fortune to work with; better than her predecessors, and, indeed, than any others representing our interest with other investments in Australia, Hong Kong or Thailand.

Her recent assistance in assisting in the repairs and repainting the façade of the house we own, within a reasonable budget, is the most recent, and a superb example, of her service, and is the still us for writing this letter”.

“you are by far the best property manager I have ever worked with”.
