House holiday rentals in Forest Lodge

Beautiful place and amazing pool!

Tina was an excellent host. She went over and beyond making sure we had a great stay, including putting in a brand new BBQ for us which was greatly appreciated. Communication was great prior to our arrival and during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The apartment was very clean and as described. It was great that liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner was provided, as were kitchen basics, tea, coffee etc. The apartment is in a great location, a 5 minute walk from the Bondi shopping mall where you can buy everything you need, and a 20 minute walk from Bondi Beach. The heated pool, although small, is a rare find and great for cooler times of the year, and the lovely covered outdoor dining area is perfect for BBQs. The area is noisy with a busy multi lane main road directly behind the apartment and a school in front of it. The other thing to note is that the apartment is approached by about 10 steep external steps so might not be easy for people with mobility issues.

My girlfriend and I stayed here for a couple of weeks and did not want to leave. The space is beautifully open with 5 levels and great light throughout. Didn’t get a chance to use the pool given winter, but the bbq got plenty of use as did the kitchen and dining room which is large! The heating system kept us more than warm during some of the coldest days of winter and the parking was very convenient. Would book again in a heartbeat.

This was a magnificent place for a long weekend with a group of friends. The views are spectacular, and the place very private. The house was spotless and very clean. I wanted to bring in some flowers and balloons prior to arrival and the host was incredibly accommodating with regards to allowing those services in at the check in time. Would definitely stay again!

Lovely and spacious place, it had everything we needed for our comfortable stay with friends. Highly recommend it

Evelyns space was nice and quiet with spectacular views of Pittwater Bay. My family had an absolutely lovely stay. Evelyn is very helpful and quick to respond to anything guests may need. Apartment is in great location, walking distance to town and beaches.

We had a terrific stay at Bruce's place. The place is exactly like the photos, so our expectations were 100% matched with the location. It is a lovely and quiet location, surrounded by bushland and nice, quiet streets. I will stay there again when visiting Sydney next time. A really good find and well worth the price.

Loved staying in this gorgeous apartment. I came for a little writing-retreat and it was the perfect place to get work done whilst also feeling relaxed and comfortable. There are lovely green spaces nearby to go for walks/runs, and Potts Point is just a wonderful place to explore. There was an issue with the buildings hot water while I was there, but Janai did everything possible to keep me updated and give me alternative options too. Overall, a great experience!

We had a great stay at Sinead’s place. Communication with Sinead was always easy and timely. The place is so cute and was perfect for two people. The location is great, it is not far from the airport but also close to public transit and walkable to many shops and restaurants. This was a great place to stay and we will stay here again when we return to Sydney!

What a lovely place to stay. My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Lilyfield. The house was super clean and comfortable with a surprisingly spacious rear garden and outdoor entertaining area. We used to live in this area before moving to the UK, so were looking forward to exploring our old ‘hood, but the host Jodie went over an above to make our stay even more special with some local suggestions that were absolute gems! Jodie was also super responsive and helpful before and after our stay. We would definitely stay at Jodie’s place again in future and would totally recommend to anyone considering staying at the same time.

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

My stay here far exceeded any expectations, absolutely beautiful home, and great communication with the owner. l definitely recommend staying here, glenn was considerate enough to have milk, juice and some food stuff there. Cheers. Cory

Great place to stay in Sydney. Close to university campus. Easy to get to the train station Redfern to get into the city and bus stops at the university to get to Bondi. The house was nice and tidy on arrival. Beds was firm and very nice. Three stories with dining room, living room, kitchen, laundry and toilet on the bottom floor. Bedrooms on middle and top floor. We cooked some meals in the kitchen, it was all functional. Would stay again!

I had a lovely stay at Ben’s cottage in Darlinghurst! It was cute and cosy and in a prime location close to restaurants and only a short walk into the city. Would highly recommend staying here! Thanks for being a great host, Ben!

We were in Sydney for work from the NT and Phillips place was the perfect location from the city with great public transport all within a minutes walk. We had 2 x4WD vehicles with us and the parking was super easy - right at the front door. We really felt at home and Phillip was fantastic with local recommendations, public transport advice etc . The check in and out was super easy and felt really personal which was refreshing. Can highly recommend

We had a wonderful 2+ month stay at Maria’s home and couldn’t have asked for a better host or place. From the start, Maria was thoughtful and responsive. She prepared the house beautifully for a long-term stay, freeing up plenty of storage space and making sure everything was ready for us. When an electrical issue came up, she responded quickly and resolved it without fuss. She was also genuinely empathetic to our situation and generously extended our stay as much as she could—something we deeply appreciated. The house itself is a gem. It’s in a peaceful, well-located neighbourhood with a stunning view of the Sydney CBD skyline. The recent renovation is both tasteful and practical, and everything from the kitchen to the laundry facilities was in excellent working order. We especially loved the garden—it added a lot of calm and beauty to our stay. We would highly recommend this place and Maria as a host.

We have stayed here a number of times now, it is the perfect location to explore Balmain / Rozelle Inner West), and the CBD is only a 5-minute bus ride away. It is so homely and comfortable. We have already booked our next stay.

We were very comfortable in Melinda’s house. All was as described and more. Everything needed to self-cater was there, and Melinda had left supplies and treats to ensure we were able to move in and immediately feel at home. We found the house to be modern, well appointed, secure, spotlessly clean and with very comfortable bedding. We loved the proximity to great cafes, pubs, supermarkets and the train station, and yet the area was peaceful and quiet. The area is very walkable, so we didn’t need our car. Finding suitable nearby parking for the duration of our stay was simple. Melinda provided clear and timely advice on location/access, and was responsive and clear in communication during our stay. It was clear that Melinda takes care to ensure guests are happy and comfortable. Thank you Melinda, you are a terrific host.

Was a nice placed tucked near Redfern! Had the essentials around you within walking distances. Place was nice to stay in and kitchen amenities was comprehensive too! Only small thing to highlight is that the lower level toilet has a smell to it maybe because of the drainage system. Overall, still a great place to live in!

We had a fabulous stay in ultimo. The apartment was perfect for us with a well equipped kitchen. Being able to have an early check in was much appreciated after a very early start to the day. It was great to have a washing machine with detergent provided and also the coffee machine! The apartment is a good size with some outside space. Everything was so clean and fresh. The apartment is very close to darling harbour where there are so many restaurants to choose from. We loved staying here and I would highly recommend this beautiful apartment tucked away but easily reachable. Public transport is also so easy to use and there is so much to do and see in Sydney.

It was a pleasure to stay in this place, and we were always delighted to return to Frank's place at the end of a long day sightseeing. Situated in a neighborhood full of character, we were impressed with the great restaurants close by. Convenient to supermarkets to stock up for breakfast and other items. Walking to the city was easy...about 15 minutes to Sydney Tower and about 30 minutes to Circular Quay and the Opera House. The property itself is immaculate and spacious with all you need for a comfortable stay. Frank was great to communicate with. Hope to return one day.

The most ideal Redfern stay - the house is so well equipped and so comfortable. Best location too - close to absolutely everything. Will definitely keep it on our short list of Sydney stays. Thank you for having us!

Wonderful stay! Katerina was an outstanding host. The house is lovely and very well appointed. We had everything we needed. Super comfortable beds and perfect outdoor entertainment deck. I was travelling with my 2 fur babies and they loved the dog friendly parks. I was very impressed with how well connected the house was to the city. Only 6 mins on the train to the CBD. We will definitely be back. Thank you again

I loved my stay at the Barn in paddington. Chantal was extremely helpful and even met me at check in to explained everything in detail. The place is very tastefully decorated and had everything I needed for my stay, and was walking distance to everything Paddington has to offer!
