One private retreat behind the main house. The pool, the alfresco, the steam room, all yours for your booking.

Your own entrance, a privacy shutter that closes off the rest, and the whole outdoor space to yourselves. Fully private, self-contained, and quiet. That is the whole idea of The Robertson.

Rez made The Robertson a thoughtful and enjoyable place to host a small gathering for my friends. He went out of his way to provide extra tables, chairs and a water cooler without us requesting. Highly recommend for your next hosting venue.

The steam room was the absolute standout for me. I used it morning and night and it was pure bliss. The space itself is beautifully finished, thoughtful, clean, and high quality throughout.

I built The Robertson because Western Sydney didn't have a place like it, somewhere you could actually escape without leaving the city. The space is completely yours, your own entrance, your own pool, fully private. I give guests their space, I'm here if you need me, but I won't hover.

Good to know

Questions, answered.

Where is it?

Merrylands, in Western Sydney, about ten minutes from Parramatta and five from Woolworths. There's a private back gate straight onto Merrylands Park. The exact address is shared once you book.

Is the pool heated?

The pool isn't heated, but it's resort-style with a waterfall and colour-changing lights, and the steam room runs year-round, perfect to warm up after a swim.

How many people can come?

Up to 15 for a daytime gathering. The studio sleeps four overnight, a queen bed and a queen sofa bed. Guests beyond four are $25 each.

Can we bring decorations, a cake or a BBQ?

Absolutely. Decorations, a cake and the BBQ are all welcome, it's your space for the booking. We just ask that it stays a gathering, not a party.

How private is it?

Completely. The studio and the entire outdoor area are yours, with your own entrance and a privacy shutter that closes off the main house. The space is fully self-contained.

Is there parking?

Yes, free street parking, with entry through your own private rear gate.

Are pets allowed?

Pets are welcome with prior approval, just let us know when you enquire.

What about noise and the neighbours?

It's a quiet residential street, so music winds down from 10pm out of respect for the neighbours. Gatherings, not parties.

Is there a bond?

No bond for groups up to 12. Larger gatherings of 13 to 15 carry a small refundable $300 bond, returned after checkout when the place is left as you found it.
