3 Bedroom home with pool oasis in heart of Bondi
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.

Stunning home near Beach with Pool & Sauna
Lovely and spacious place, it had everything we needed for our comfortable stay with friends. Highly recommend it

Stunning Tamarama Beach House
Thanks Timothy for hosting us over Easter. We appreciated the great communication via Jon and easy check-in instructions. The home is in a great location and we loved the special homely touch of providing board games and binnoculars to watch the surf and boats cruise by. Thanks again!
Private Luxury Apartment Sitting atop Pittwater
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.

Sun drenched Art Deco apart with pool and garden
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!

Central three bedroom garden retreat
House is great, location is really handy to the city. The back yard is a surprising oasis in the middle of the city.

Palm Pavilion: architectural rainforest retreat
Lovely place with a beautiful outlook! The space was very relaxing and peaceful whilst being quirky and fun at the same time. Would be a really nice place to unwind for a week

Spacious 3 bedroom poolside retreat
We chose Brenda’s place for the location and the access to parking. We always were able to find a parking spot on the street right in front of the house. Easy walk to the beach with a cafe along the way. My family of four were very comfortable in the space. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

2 bedroom house opposite Carriageworks, Newtown.
Our family of four had a fantastic stay at Michael’s house. The location was new to us but had lots of great shopping and eating options and being close to Redfern station made getting into the city a breeze. The house itself is super cute and beautifully presented. A lot of thought has gone into making sure you have everything you’d ever need for a short or long stay, even including a bottle of wine and a packet of tim tams in the fridge. We appreciated Michael meeting us at the house when we arrived to show us around and were especially grateful for his flexibility around check in/out times to fit around our flights. Definitely one of the best all round air bnbs we’ve stayed in.

Story Book Cottage in the Heart of Paddington
We had an amazing stay at Nicole’s place! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Nicole’s thoughtful touches, like leaving us food to make our stay even better, truly set her apart as a host. She was kind, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to stay in Paddington with an exceptional host, look no further. We would absolutely stay here again-highly recommend!

Elegant Townhouse Randwick
Well positioned home for access to public transport! Nice home, excellent host!

2 Bedroom Renovated Cottage - 1 Stop to Central
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!

Terrace House - Carriageworks Caboose
Amazing spot for access to both USyd but short walk to Redfern station and thereafter access to all of the central sites. Highly recommended for a great comfortable and convenient stay

Skylight House in Sydney CBD, Perfect For families
Lovely little house. Walking distance to Surrey Hills dining precinct. Supermarkets around the corner. Public transport options were plentiful. We liked using the light rail at Surrey Hills to Circular Quay. The trains and buses were very close too. Having a garage to park in was fantastic. Dong was friendly and helpful.

Full AC | Filtered Water/Ice | Keyless | Sound Bar
Looks better in real life than the photos! Beautiful area, walking distance to pretty much everything you need. The place was very clean too. Definitely a great experience, thanks Rua 🙏🏼

Light Filled House in Enmore
Fabulous, spacious home in a great location. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Brendan and Sarah’s home for your next stay in Sydney!

Heritage Home w/ Modern Comforts | Great Location
Linh and Jack's wonderful house was probably one of the best air bnb's we've stayed at. It was spacious, beautifully decorated, and comfortable. They had a little guide to the area and the house which was very handy. Linh and Jack were also very accomodating with check out and extending the stay when we had to add an extra day to our trip last minute. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we definitely recommend!

Tamarama Cliffhouse
Excellent quiet location on the cliff viewing Tamarama surf and Bronte with a short walk over the hill to Bondi. The cottage was great for us, we only used one bedroom. The views are non-stop amazing.

Cosy Cottage. 2 Bedrooms. Great location.
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.

180 degree ocean views.
Lovely home with all of the creature comforts, amenities & a spectacular view.. right on the Ocean front! Lots of scenic walking trails, and its a short stroll to plenty of cafes.. Cindy was a very responsive, friendly & flexible host.

Australia Architecture Award Winner Heritage House
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.

Heavenly Stay Near Carriageworks
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!

The Parkside Terrace - Chic Inner City Oasis
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!

Thomas - Classic Cosy Cottage Spacious & Bright
We had a lovely stay in Rozelle. The house was cozy and clean, very well- equipped and in a great location for shops, restaurants and walks. Freja was a lovely host. Overall, a wonderful house to stay in.
