Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Balgowlah

Peter, Cheryl’s husband, personally welcomed us at check-in and gave a quick, informative tour; such a gentleman! The apartment and the neighborhood exceeded our expectations. Everything inside - from the furniture and appliances to the bedding, pillows, and towels - was of good quality. We truly felt at home. The building and location are ideal for families. One pleasant surprise was the indoor pool and gym, which weren’t shown in the listing photos. Our kids loved swimming on a chilly, foggy day - the water was clean and warm! Despite being so close to the CBD, the neighborhood was incredibly peaceful with very little noise. A perfect stay all around!

Pete was a great host, he personally met us and ushered us in his beautiful place. The location is very ideal and very walkable to a lot of places in the CBD. Surry Hills is also home to some good places to eat and drink. Won’t mind booking here again!

Fabulous location to explore Sydney. Apartment had everything needed. Loved our stay!

Great host overall, good communication, and apartment was as expected based on listing.

A great loft apartment, very close to public transport with easy access to northern beaches and the city. However, it is on the 3rd floor, so it can get uncomfortable during really hot days (air conditioning is available on the lower level). Bathroom exhaust is on a building timer and shuts off after 10 PM. Andrew is a great host, and is very responsive! He proactively informed us about the TV not working and had it replaced on the same day! Would definitely recommend!

Everything was great, it would be even more perfect if you could prepare an extra box of tissues and brushes, toothpaste or warn us to prepare. In general we were very satisfied with the house, the location and how to reply, instructions of the host. Thank you, we will come back soon.

Ghassan was extremely responsive and helpful. Apartment was clean and well equipped. Bathroom was on the smaller side but water pressure was good with hot water. Very near to Broadway shopping centre (5-6 min walk), which has a Coles, food and shopping.

Jessica’s place is in a great location. Easy to get to city by ferry or bus. Frequent buses to Bondi bus station where you can get buses to many locations. Rose Bay is handy for Watson’s Bay, Double Bay and ferry terminals. Jessica has made the apartment really nice, lovely big rooms, nice furniture and comfortable bed. There is access to a washing machine but I used the local laundry, quick and handy. I enjoyed my stay in Jessica’s place. She kept in touch whilst I was there and she communicated well, answering any queries promptly. Property was clean and has everything you need. Hairdryer, iron, ironing board. Lots of towels and great wardrobe space.

Duncan’s apartment is situated right by the big Coca Cola sign in Sydney‘s Kings Cross. We found it a perfect location in that all amenities were only a few metres away, and there were a multitude of restaurants and cafes right on Victoria Street to choose from. The apartment itself is exactly as the photos show. It used to be a hotel and rooms have been renovated into apartments, so its design is long and thin. Lovely furniture, and well appointed. Duncan checked in a couple of times to see if we needed anything, and we appreciated his responsiveness and proactivity. Would definitely recommend this host and their apartment for a great location when visiting the harbour city! Thanks Duncan.

Hannah's apartment is beautiful and conveniently located next to Central Station. If you're a light sleeper, I would recommend ear plugs as it is next to the tracks and a busy area.

Penny was a great and friendly host who responded to my questions promptly. Penny was also accommodating and added my check out time. In all it was a lovely place that was close to the CBD and the Beaches which were our main interest. I would stay here again. The only thing I would recommend is a clothes dryer. I n winter clothes hardly dry. Dryers are usually common in most Airbnb settings so maybe the owner should look into this.

Sophie’s place is exactly as described in the listing. We spent 5 nights with kids and our elderly parents and it served right for everyone. Location is great with restaurants, coffee shops, aldi closeby. Could see harbour bridge from the living room, what a view in the night while vivid festival lightened the bridge.

The beds are comfortable. Thanks for the well equipped kitchen.

We booked Daisy’s place during our visit to Sydney with our 2 young kids. It was very homey and we get to prepare meals during the days that we were not going out which made our stay more comfortable. I would recommend her place to anyone who wants to visit Sydney but didn’t want to be in the busy streets of the CBD. It’s very close to the Metro line - Macquarie University station - and is just minutes away to the city. It’s also close to the Lane Cove Park if you’re up for some bush hike or up for a run. The place has direct access to Macquarie Shopping Centre which has supermarkets, restaurants, cinema, department stores, and brands to shop. There is also a good Korean barbecue just beside it and a nice neighbourhood play ground nearby if you have kids. Overall, we were happy we found this place after doing a lot of searching in Airbnb. We’ll surely be back here the next time we visit Sydney, again. Thank you, Daisy!

Great location for exhibiting or visiting a trade show at Olympic park. Comfy beds, easy access, good instructions and more than one towel. Shower could do with a door as water gets all over the floor, but otherwise great. Thank you!

One of the best apartments I have stayed in. Easy to follow instructions and the cleaners were very friendly and accomodating when we arrived early and asked if we could leave our suitcases in the apartment. Very well stocked - all the basic kitchen neccessities were supplied that are such a pain to have to buy every time you stay somewhere. Cecilia was very friendly and responded to my messages very quickly. Apartment was spotless (including bathrooms). 50m walk to supermarket and within walking distance to all Olympic Park venues. Highly recommend.

The accommodation is very good. The room space is quite large with many amenities. The location is excellent, very convenient. Just 2-3 min away from train and metro. The host is nice. Always responsive for messages.

As we drove away, my husband and I both agreed it was 'just right' for us. Warm, very well equipped including condiments, herbs, salt and pepper, coffee machine, clean and comfy lounge and bed, spotless bathroom, a washing machine. There was nothing to criticise. Also, we phoned Arif shortly after our arrival for help with something and he came immediately with his little girl, and cheerfully helped us. Nice friendly feel.

The place is in a great location in Balmain and walkable to pubs and public transport. It also has a great view of the city skyline. Host was fantastic to deal with

Absolutely loved staying at Belinda’s place with our extended family for the week. Beautiful spot tucked away in Pearl Beach, an easy stroll down to the beach, and an incredible house with plenty of space for all the kiddos and adults. Belinda’s house was very well appointed - stylishly renovated, well-thought out design with beautiful furnishings. We had a great week (despite some heavy rain!) and look forward to staying again soon.

Location was beautiful the view from the backyard was stunning. Early morning coffee out on the balcony was a great way to start the day. The salt water pool was amazing, it kept the kids entertained all day. Jacqueline was friendly and easy to communicate with. Thank you for a perfect stay!

My family had a lovely five days at The Darling in Rushcutters Bay. The house and pool area had so many different and interesting spaces to enjoy different times of the day. The bedrooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable. We will definitely do this stay again. Thanks to our host's for making everything run smoothly.

I really enjoyed this place. The terrace was a beautiful spot to lay and rest after we were in town for an event - easy walk to Allianz. Everything is so uniquely decorated. The bedroom is comfortable, and the lighting in the house is so lovely. Max was such a help and so responsive when I had flight delays that impacted my check in. Highly recommend the local coffee shop around the corner and generally felt really safe around the neighborhood area!

We had the best stay in Pyrmont at Suzanna’s place. It was exactly the accommodation we hoped to have for this much needed getaway! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+⭐️
