Cadman's Cottage is one of Sydney's oldest buildings. Located in the historic district of The Rocks, it plays an important role in the city's colonial history. The house was built in 1816 and is now a preserved historic building.

Cadman's Cottage is named after John Cadman, a former convict who became an overseer of rowing boats and harbour activities in Sydney. The building was constructed to house the rowing boat department and served as accommodation for Cadman and his family.

The building is built in a Georgian style, typical of the colonial era, with simple but elegant architecture. It is situated close to Sydney Harbour, making it a strategic location for monitoring harbour and maritime activities.

Today, Cadman's Cottage is home to the Sydney Harbour National Park Information Centre, where you can learn more about the history of Sydney, The Rocks area and Sydney Harbour National Park.
