Stylish & Bright ~ 5* Location ~ 200m to the Sand!

TanyaRating, 5 stars3 days ago

A fantastic apartment to stay in the heart of Bondi. Close enough to the beach that we could come and go as we liked which was great with kids. Coffee and a choice of restaurants just downstairs and a supermarket close by. Highly recommend. Great communication from the hosts too.

BruceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

We had a beautiful stay in Helen’s home. It’s like a home away from home. Large living, dining, communal spaces and rooms. Manly is a beautiful place to be close to the city yet away from the hustle and bustle. Will definitely stay again, thank you for everything!

FreyaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Seamless check in - the photos provided made it super easy and clear. They even messaged me to let me know that my place was ready to check into early. The location is spot on - very close to the metro and across from a lovely park. The apartment was simple and perfect. Very good value for money. When I come to Sydney I will stay here again!

Cosy Manly studio

ClareRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Murray’s flat is ideally situated for visiting Manly…it’s just a short walk to the beaches, restaurants, ferry…everything is very close, there’s even a little shop and a Chinese restaurant on the street outside. It is on the 3rd floor and is uphill from the centre of Manly, so be aware of that… but it does mean that there are great views from the flat windows! It is a compact little studio but everything is clean and it is extremely well equipped so you could easily cook there if you don’t want to eat out. Murray was extremely helpful and hospitable, the perfect host. We would happily stay there again and heartily recommend this lovely little home.

NicholasRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Located in the historic (and possibly most beautiful) part of Sydney’s CBD, Suzanna’s home is simply, Wonderful. Light, airy, spotless and perfectly appointed. Within an easy walk to fantastic restaurants and pubs in Millers Point and The Rocks. … and Incredible Views over Barangaroo, Nawi Cove to White Bay (sunset was spectacular). Topping it off is Suzanna is an Incredible Host - so responsive and welcoming. Suzanna’s home is my new ‘go-to’ for trips to Sydney. Thank you, Suzanna!

Manly Holiday Harbour Waterfront

KeruiRating, 5 stars2 months ago

The stay was wonderful, beautiful surroundings, breathtaking sea views, soothing waves and little creatures. The flat was very carefully designed and decorated, it’s a complete new experience that we had. But most importantly we had Melodie as our host and she made us feel at home. We appreciated how helpful and kind she was and we are touched by her personality.

Chiswick Waterfront Retreat

I was traveling with my grandparents. The location is excellent in a quiet environment. It was about 15 minutes by rental car to the center of Sydney. The host was also kind and responded quickly, which I appreciated. The room was clean and easy to spend time in, and we were able to enjoy a barbecue while sightseeing.

Amazing Views - 3 Bed Malabar

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 53 reviews3 months ago

We loved our shift stay at Linda’s place. She let us check in early (very grateful after a bit long haul flight with sick kids) and even check out late. The house is a quiet seaside location. Just the short break we needed after a 5wk European vacation. We could see the 9pm new yr fireworks from balcony. But sadly we’re too jet lagged to stay awake until midnight. We’d love to stay again next time we r in Sydney, Thanks so much Linda!!

Wow what a beautiful house and the location was amazing. Sam has been the host with the most. He has been so responsive with all our questions and nothing has been a problem. The house and location were perfect for my daughter’s birthday. The bedrooms were enormous and the views breathtaking from the balcony. We had the markets at our doorstep Sat and Sunday which was a bonus . I can’t recommend this place enough. None of us were on top of each other as it is 4 stories. We will definitely be staying again. Once again thanks So Much Sam. 12 out of 10 🙌🙌🙌

Bronte Ocean Garden Unique Escape

5 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviews1 week ago

Perfect vacation home: We stayed at Josephine's house for 4 weeks and loved every single day of it. The location of the house in Bronte at the coastal walk is perfect. It's a 2 minutes walk to Bronte beach and a 20 minutes walk to Bondi and Coogee beach. The bus stop to downtown via Bondi junction is 1 minute in front of the house, restaurants and grocery shopping are close by. Didn't miss our car at all, we loved using public transport. The house itself is amazing. We saw the sunrise from our bedroom over the ocean, the view is spectular. We loved the birds in the backyard and the botanical garden in front of the house on the way to the street. Josephine is such a loving and caring host. We loved her warm welcoming us after our long trip from Europe with fresh bread, apples, fruit jam, delicious coffee and rose wine. She really cared and attendend to our needs. We very much wish to return. Dear Josephine, thank you so much for making our stay in Sydney unforgettable.

An absolute treat to get to stay at Anna’s beautiful place overlooking Bondi Beach! My husband and I loved the location and getting to come home from full days of exploring Bondi, Bronte and Coogee beaches and a couple of day trips into the city and the Blue Mountains. Anna was very responsive to any questions we had, and we had everything we needed for our stay. Although the lighting in the bathroom and bedroom by the small mirror were dim overhead lights (not the best for getting ready), we really didn’t mind it and would stay here again in a heartbeat! Loved the plants and small garden on her balcony too. Great kitchen, comfortable living space, good shower pressure & hot water, comfortable bed, and the best views of the ocean! Thank you, Anna! :)

It is only a 10 minute walk to Accor Stadium and if you want to make your way into the city, it’s only a 5 minute walk to the train station. The space was clean, comfortable and had a wonderful view of the cityscape during the day and night.

Steven meet us in the Foyer to orientation us to the apartment, he even took us through the car park to show us where our car space was located!

Thank you Steven your time and amazing communication definitely made our stay one of the best in Sydney!

Facilities are amazing, apartment is beautiful and only a 7 minute drive to Olympic park! AMAZING HOST!

Experience the Finest Waterfront Living

SachinkumarRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Absolutely loved our stay! Ping was such a kind and thoughtful host—she welcomed us in person, which was such a lovely touch and made us feel instantly at ease. The place itself was beautiful, with a breathtaking view that we never got tired of. The location was ideal—peaceful but still close to everything we needed. The amenities were exactly as described, and the space was clean, cozy, and well-equipped. What really stood out was how Ping went the extra mile to accommodate our special requests before we arrived—her attention to detail was truly appreciated. Check-in was super smooth, and the entire experience felt effortless from start to finish. Highly recommend staying here if you're looking for a relaxing, well-hosted getaway!
