A great place to visit with very friendly and passionate staffs, the house tour gives you a full story on the life of May Gibb, her inspirations, her struggles and how her brilliant works come about. No photos allowed in the house (for copyright reasons) and the house entry is only via the guided tour so please check before your visit, there is no parking around the house so best to come via public transport.
To make a half day trip for it, arrive by train, hop off at the Milson Point train station, grab some brunch if necessary (Nutcote opens at 11am and the first house tour starts almost right away), takes a leisurely walk (around 1.6 km - 20 mins), arrive at Nutcote by 11am. After the visit (roughly around 1.5 hours), get some lunch around Neutral Bay Ferry Wharf (recommended an excellent and cheap Thai restaurant - Ta Ta Thai) and take a ferry back to Circular Quay.

The shop is full of lovely Australian gifts and all the volunteers are very friendly and informative. May Gibbs wrote Snugglepot and Cuddlepie and was a very talented illustrator. All money spent goes back to the upkeep of the Museum so you can feel happy paying to take a tour. Afterwards we walked to Cremorne Point to catch a ferry back and is a wonderful way to see Sydney on the North Shore. Perfect day out...

Lovely old house and gardens overlooking the harbour. Lots of May's memorabilia and drawings. Special room for kid's dress ups and read her books as well as a slide show. Her garage has been converted to a souvenir shop.

The gift shop does accept cash. Volunteers were very knowledgeable and lovely, involving the young...
