Well worth visiting this house, one of the oldest remaining colonial houses in Sydney. VERY cheap to go in.. and certainly value for money! Very pleasant staff inside dressed in period costume. You could have a guided tour or walk around yourself. Very nicely laid out and although the rooms are small they are crammed full of interesting things to see and many items belonged to the Jost family. The kitchen area was lovely and cool.. boy was it a hot day outside! very informative gentleman gave us the history and description of what went on when the house was occupied and he got us to try and identify several artifacts.. we didn't do too well!! Highly recommend including Jost House in your plans when visiting super friendly and lovely Sydney. the whole town was a treat to visit!

I went to visit the library last year to look for a book in order to analyze for my thesis paper back in high school. The book is very old and I could not find it anywhere else except for Cape Breton Regional Library. The staffs were welcoming and they greeted me very well. They asked for the name of the book and quickly after that they handed me the book. Also you do not need to pay for anything when you come and borrow the resources. They have a huge amount of resources from the books on display to the books that they kept in the back of the house. They also have 5 to 6 computers that everyone can access to if you do not have a personal one at home. You are welcome to use the computer there. When you sign to borrow a book, they will give the date that you have to return it usually it is about 2 or 3 weeks. The staff will make a phone call with you to remind about returning the book 1 or 2 days before the returning date. You can also ask to prolong the return date through that phone call without having to come to the place. They will normally except to do so unless there is another person borrow it beforehand. Additionally, there is free wifi and a large working space which is very quiet and comfortable for people to read or use their computer to work. The decoration of the library is extremely nice, vintage style and cozy. I really enjoy my visit and I always want to visit it again.
