A quite little landmark with lots of history. Located in the historic area of The Rocks, which is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Sydney. Cadmans cottage is known to be the oldest surviving building in Sydney

If you are interested in history and heritage this is good stopover. You can find this cottage if you are waking around circular quay. It is opposite the overseas passenger terminal, accurately pinned on google maps.

Built in 1816, it is the oldest surviving residential building in Sydney and is considered an important example of early colonial architecture. The cottage was originally built for the use of the government boatman, whose job was to ferry passengers and goods across...

Was once a former water police station and sailor's home in The Rocks, Sydney. It's a heritage listed Colonial Georgian style façade building. This is a beautifully kept historical landmark. I just missed the lady who was giving oral tour of this place but I'll be doing it soon. It's impressive from the outside and no doubt has a lot more information about it. Right next to it is the statue of Captain William Bligh. This is a not to be missed places to visit around...

The only building in the rocks that isn't a reproduction. I felt scammed that all the rocks buildings are 19th or 20th century reconstructions. Surely as Australians, we can be honest?

Cadmans Cottage was built in 1816 next to the Government Dockyard for the superintendent of Government Boats originally it was right next to the water. John Cadman was the last and longest serving superintendent of Government Boats and lived in the cottage from 1827 to 1844 when he retired. It is still original condition and Heritage listed.

Watched Sydney Vivid 2023 cool light show ♥️ other times ⏲️ free tours start from here. Cadmans cottage offers a very interesting history about the first home in the area of The Rocks. The view is of course beautiful as well down by the Sydney harbour. And short walk to Circular Quay or Campbell Cove
