Sydney Darling Harbour Sydney Views
Great place to stay, easy walk to many attractions in the city. Kevin was great and responded to any questions promptly. The apartment was as described and we enjoyed our stay. Highly recommend.

Picturesque apartment by the beach @Parsley Bay
Our stay at Shane's apartment was excellent! Shane was helpful and responsive from the get go and directions/check-in instructions were clear and easy to follow. The apartment was clean, tidy and homey, with all the essential amenities and more. The Parsley Bay area was absolutely stunning, with beautiful views and peaceful surrounds. It is an easy walk to Watson's Bay for seafood or a ferry ride--bus stop right outside the apartment. We really enjoyed our stay, would highly recommend staying here to others and can't wait to return.

180 Degrees- Absolute Beachfront Escape for 4
A great spot in the south coast. Walking distance to multiple beaches from Coledale to the north and Thirroul to the south. Beautiful views. Sue was very communicative and flexible. Thanks very much!

Proximity @ The Watermark
We enjoyed our stay at Proximity! Although the weather was not so great, we felt cozy and comfy and were just able to chill out inside. Sophie was a great communicator, answering our questions quickly and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Thankyou again for our lovely stay.

Luxury Apartment Overlooking City and Darling Harbour
The apartment was clean, comfortable and in an excellent location. We came for a long weekend from Canberra with our kids. It turned out that Vivid was on and you could see some displays from the apartment balcony. John was very helpful, responsive and attentive, great host

Addison's Escape: A Breezy Beachfront Beauty
We had a beautiful stay. Loved the furnishings and styling of the apartment, photos definitely didn’t do it justice. Beds and linen were comfy, it was clean, kitchen had everything you would need to cook at home. Amazing location - walking distance to beach, playground, cafe and restaurants and just a short car ride away from Shell Cove and within half an hour of places like Berry and Minnamurra rainforest, both of which we visited on the trip. Will definitely stay again!

Waterfront Luxury apr-Shell Cove
Jamie’s place was absolutely perfect for a weekend away in Shellharbour. The kitchen was well appointed and the beds were super comfy. She was even kind enough to leave us milk, tea and coffee, along with some very generous treats! We would definitely recommend Jamie’s accommodation and would love to stay there again. It was beautifully position within walking distance to the Waterfront Marina and provided everything we needed for a fabulous weekend. Thanks so much Jamie!

Weekday getaway water views/opposite lake
Caci was a very responsive host. The house was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable. We loved being able to enjoy the beautiful views of Lake Illawarra from the balcony. The best recommendation we can give is that we would love to return.

Absolutely amazing location!! Larry and his wife really made sure we have all that we need for this unique experience. Definitely recommend!!

By The River-River front location with water views
Dianne has been a wonderful host. The check-in process was clear and concise. The greetings card left on the kitchen bench with lots of helpful information and recommendations. We really enjoyed our short getaway during the weekend in Dianne’s lovely house.

Bask at Loves Bay, Kiama -stylish oceanfront
The stay was remarkable and I dare say one of the best Airbnb places we have stayed in. The view surrounded by the ocean is amazing and the house really felt like home. This is big considering I was travelling with a 7 month old baby and a 3 year old toddler. I felt the house had what we needed as a family and it was a nice space to take it slow on our trip and enjoy the surroundings. The beds were clean and the kitchen was well equipped. The bathrooms were very clean too. Just to take note there’s steps going down into the house and that laundry is outside the house but just a few steps away, probably to take note in case of bad weather. Thank you Amanda for being so responsive and for your incredibly wonderful house!

Bundeena Beachside Oasis
The photos do not do the view justice. was so very relaxing to be on the water and just a few minutes walk to Jibbon beach.

Modern apt in Central Sydney: Harbour Views & Pool
This Airbnb is a perfect location for seeing Sydney. You can connect to any part of the city from the bus stop adjacent to the rental. The rental itself was great - everything was clean and the rental was well equipped with everything needed for a week's stay.

Waterfront Apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac
My wife and I stayed a week, and really enjoyed the stay. The house works well for a couple. We especially enjoyed the open living room, kitchen and dining room. The deck was wonderful too. The area was quiet at night as well. The view is fabulous and is the house's best feature. Even on a rainy day it's still lovely to stay inside, drink some coffee and read (as well as take in that view). We enjoyed walks around the Potts Point neighborhood, and it's a nice walk to the Wooloomooloo Wharf, RBG, the Art Gallery, and the Opera House/Circular Quay. There are a couple of fans, but during the mid-summer months heat might be an issue. During our stay the temperatures were moderate, and just opening the windows to catch the breeze made the house comfortable. The host was first-rate: attentive, friendly, and responsive. Thanks.

Stunning Bondi Beach Ocean View full apartment
Amazing location we stayed last minute for one night in Bondi. Perfect for couple. You couldn’t get closer to the ocean and literally next to Bondi Icebergs. We will def be back.
