Waterfront holiday rentals in Northern Beaches Council

Perfect start to our Aussie adventures. Absolutely stunning location with views over the beach/seafront, easy access to everything and super friendly locals! Loved the bathroom views and spectacular water pressure in the shower too! Fab property , thanks!

Our stay was awesome! The house is super cute and comfortable, and the neighborhood is beautiful. It was missing a few basic items like a blender, a baking tray, and a better set of pans — but we believe the host is aware of that and will probably improve it soon. The beds were very comfortable, and she kindly left us treats and chocolates, which made us feel very welcome. There were plenty of towels available, which was super helpful. Thanks so much for sharing your place with us!

Stunning views and a beautiful spacious home within easy walking distance of beaches, restaurants, shops and Q Station. Peaceful and clean. Thoroughly recommend a stay here!

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, literally across the road from the beautiful manly beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is even better than the pictures, extremely spacious and comfortable. Also very easy on the eye with designer furniture. Zoe went above and beyond as a host when we left a soggy wetsuit behind and she posted it back to us. Would definitely re book. Thanks Zoe

This property is a gem! The location was very convenient as it was a quick walk to the ferry wharf and down to circular quay. the property was well maintained and clean. We enjoyed breakfasts on the balcony while taking in the awesome waterfront view. Malia was quick to respond to questions we had during our stay. I would definitely recommended this property and book it again. Thank you Malia.

Had a wonderful stay for one month at this Airbnb! The hosts were so helpful, everything about the apartment was carefully thought about with what I needed for the full long stay. I couldn’t recommend enough, the balcony onto the beach has amazing sunrise views of the beach and surfers, with cockatoos visiting everyday. We had a very comfortable stay and the apartment is in pristine condition, you wouldn’t know guests have stayed before and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything from children’s kitchenware to hosting a dinner party! 10/10

What a great place to stay for 13 days in an idyllic location; comfortable, light and airy with everything you need provided. Just across the road to the park with Edwards Beach on the NE and Balmoral Beach, the Sea Baths, Balmoral Oval and Middle Head on the SE, a bus stop outside travelling to Mosman Junction and Taronga Zoo Wharf ( and ferries to the city) and local restaurants within 300 metres. Ideal accommodation for a family or the more elderly with its proximity to park and safe beach and onsite garage. Julie is also the most friendly, flexible and accommodating host, very prompt in communicating as well as informative. I have no hesitation in recommending Julie’s accommodation after such an enjoyable time.

Surfways Manly apartment is absolutely wonderful! A perfect spot for two people to enjoy all that Manly offers. It was the perfect home away from home for my husband and I to spend a month there. The apartment is beautiful and modern. Everything is at a high quality and Robyn has kitted it out with everything a guest could need. The building has an incredible location (and views!) right across the street from Manly Beach and is walkable to everything. Lots of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We really appreciated how there were kitchen and bathroom supplies provided for our long stay (like coffee pods, plastic wrap, salt/pepper) and there were even snacks/drinks that welcomed us! Robyn is an incredibly thoughtful and friendly host who made us feel so comfortable throughout our stay. She was always responsive and would check in to see if we needed anything. Many thanks, Robyn, for your warm hospitality. It was so hard to leave! Highly recommend and we hope to return!

Roslyn is the perfect host. Always responsive and supportive. We are a small business and Roslyn was absolutely fantastic with us. Our crew worked nights which require them to sleep during the day and the surroundings of this beautiful place were exactly how she described which made our stay so special and peaceful. Thank you so much Roslyn for being so accommodating and welcoming 😌

Loved my week at Amanda’s. The welcome “weekly shop” (fresh basics + juice) was a lovely touch after a long journey. Quiet street, yet a quick walk to Manly Beach, cafés, and the ferry—perfect spot. Home was spotless, comfy beds, sharp kitchen, bright living space. Amanda’s fast replies and local tips sealed the deal. Five stars.

The location is amazing. It’s an authentic beach house. One bathroom is outside which was a bit inconvenient in the weather but all in all a beautiful holiday house. Decor is better than most Airbnbs I’ve stayed in. It was good being met at the house to collect the key. Elyse from Palm Beach Holiday Rentals was very friendly and helpful. She showed us through the house, help set up the internet on our phones & brought back extra floor towels so that we could dry off and not get water in the house.

Shelly’s place was perfect and we loved our stay for a family get together. We loved relaxing by the fire and dining out on the huge main deck while the kids explored the beach below. Stunning views from this beautiful home. The beds were also super comfy.

From the front door to the back door everything about the property was perfect it certainly made for the perfect weekend to complement our son's wedding. 'Just Perfect'.

Paradise found! Alison was the most gracious and accommodating host. The place itself was heaven! So peaceful and relaxing looking out over the water from every room. The fireplace was a highlight as were the views. This place is a true gem and we felt very lucky to have been able to stay there. The kitchen is well equipped and the wine fridge is perfect for those who don’t want to cart their own up the steps. If you’re looking for a relaxing, quiet and cosy place and love being by the water this place is for you. We can’t wait to come back!

Thank you so much Marjan, Jo and Leah. We had a wonderful stay in your cottage. It was very easy to access, comfortable for the four of us and it's in the most beautiful waterfront location! Would definitely recommend to other guests!

We had a wonderful stay — the perfect getaway from the city. The place is surrounded by nature, full of peace and quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The photos truly don’t do it justice! Everything is well taken care of, clean, and thoughtfully designed with lovely details. There are also plenty of water activities to enjoy, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. You can really feel the love that went into creating this space. It helped us disconnect, recharge, and truly relax.

It was great location(you can go anywhere easily from the airbnb) and host sunny was so nice! Helped use to early check in, Always caring us when we need help or somethint. Room is so cozy and beautiful for sure, everything was clean. Our family enjoyed stay here, beautiful mermories we made! Thank you so much! 100% would like to stay here again if I come back to Sydney!

I was in town working on a film, Victoria is amazing and The Place! Gorgeous..you get your quiet beautiful view of the ocean and surfers. You can walk over and have a delicious meal or cocktail. I hope to come back, beautiful stay.

We stayed at Daniel’s place as a family with 2 young kids. We had a long drive to get there and arrived late so I couldn’t quite work out the check in instructions I messaged Daniel and he replied instantly helping me through it! Lovely large apartment directly across from the beach. Lovely location a bit quieter than the other end but a short walk to everything. There’s a few flights of stairs which we were aware of prior to booking, was a bit tricky with the kids prams and stuff but to be expected! I can’t fault the Airbnb and loved how responsive and welcoming Daniel was :) Bonus that there’s garaged parking big enough for a 4WD. Thanks for a lovely stay.

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.

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.

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.

The property was great and the cleanliness was impressive. I had a wonderful time and would definitely consider booking it again in the future.

Great place in an awesome location. Extremely easy instructions for getting in, clear and helpful instructions in the apartment. Views are amazing and the apartment is extremely well equipped. Perfect for our family stay over the long weekend.
