Lindesay is one of Sydney's oldest surviving residences, set above the harbour at Darling Point. The house is now run by the National Trust and is furnished with colonial-era English pieces that fit its early 19th-century rooms.
It is best for travellers interested in domestic history rather than big-ticket Sydney icons. The appeal is the scale: a lived-in colonial house, harbour views, and a glimpse of the city's early wealthy suburbs.
