Trickett's is the best B&B in Sydney - one night here will show you why. It's a 4.5-star mansion with loads of character - a thoroughly sumptuous experience. With just six bedrooms in service and a long list of repeat guests, you'll need to book ahead, and you'll find it very hard to leave.The garrulous Liz Trickett has lovingly restored this magnificent 19th-century mansion herself, and her attention to detail is evident throughout. Rooms are heavenly, all have bathrooms (with frameless-glass showers), and rates include a delicious continental breakfast served indoors or out, depending on the weather. The mansion's gilt-rimmed ballroom now serves as the living room, with a drinks tray on hand, racks of good books and enough conversation-starting objets d'art to have you convinced you're in an antique dealer's. There's a deck out the back, beautiful gardens, a few lazy cats and a baby grand to tinkle on. Wireless internet also available.

Don't miss the crowded Saturday Glebe Markets (tel: 4237 7499; www.glebemarkets.com.au; Glebe Public School, cnr Glebe Point Rd & Derby Pl). Shoeless, dreadlocked inner-city hippies beat a hazy course here, and once massaged, fuelled on lentil burgers and swathed in funky retro gear, they retreat to the lawns, pass the peace pipe and chill-out to an African drum soundtrack.
The ballroom here once functioned as a children's courthouse.
