Pacific Ocean Masterpiece
Stayed 3 days and 2 nights. This is where myself and my bridal team prepared for my wedding day. Such a beautiful place and stunning views which made for some amazing pictures, despite the rain. Very happy with our experience.

Renovated, Large Open Plan House with Pool
Very spacious and good location due to proximity to shops. Easy to access and friendly responses. Great stay.

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 Views, Privacy, Heated Pool & Sauna
We had a fantastic short stay at this house with our family. An older home that has been tastefully updated and well-considered. Not pretentious, comfortable with a focus on the breathtaking views over the Patonga township and water below. Taking cues from the adjacent bush, distant headlands and coastal views, the comprehensive interior upgrades and choices, colours and furniture are relaxed and calming, we felt at home immediately. It doesn't have a new blingy kitchen or bathroom, but it doesn't need it at all. They have been refreshed and have everything you need for cooking up a storm. The landscaping/gardens, heated pool, firepit and sauna are stunning and clearly designed by someone who knows what they are doing. Really friendly and helpful hosts We'll be back.

Stunning 4BR Waterfront House w/pool in Sth Coogee
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!

Guest House in bush setting with use of pool
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.

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.

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!

The Harvey - Architect’s Unique Luxury Home
Stayed here for about 2 weeks and enjoyed every bit of it! In a great area that’s quiet at night and is a short bus ride to the city and bondi/bondi junction as well. Home was clean upon arrival and had no issues during my stay.

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!

MANLY BEACH HOUSE - 8 min walk to Manly Beach!
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.

Coastal House Bondi Beach (private car spot)
We loved the location- a couple blocks away from Bondi Beach. The place was clean and beds were comfortable. We appreciated the ability to have a washer for our clothing. The area was nice and quiet.

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.

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!

Designer House - Sydney City 7 Minutes by Train
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!

Contemporary Victorian Charm
Absolutely loved our stay at Antonio‘s place – a great spot in a beautiful Neighbourhood. The house is well appointed and the kitchen especially is a great place to make a meal and entertain friends. Antonio was very helpful with communications. It is a beautiful home with interesting art making it feel warm and friendly too. Thanks Antonio, we will be back!

Portuguese-style house
Thank you so much for having us Sara! The house was perfectly located - easy walk to lots of fantastic cafes and restaurants and an easy uber to anywhere around the city. Lovely well decorated home with great amenities! Clean and tidy! Beds were super comfy which is always a plus! The only thing to note is the stairs are steep which Sara was kind enough to warn us about but definitely consider if you have any mobility restrictions! Would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend this location 🙂

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.

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

Skyline on Forbes - 4 bedroom home Darlinghurst
Beautiful Darlinghurst home. Great, comfortable home for large groups. Host was warm, responsive and accomodating. Location is walkable to Oxford st, Hyde park, and many yummy cafes. View of the city from the terrace is a lovely way to enjoy the city from a more peaceful and spacious home.

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 little blue house
The best airbnb (and host!) Perfect location, really walkable with restaurants and cafes nearby but also very peaceful. The airbnb is lovely - exactly as pictured. Well equipped kitchen, beach towels, snacks and more. Jayne was super quick to reply and we really appreciated the early check in, which saved us after a long flight. Will absolutely stay here again next time we're in Sydney. Thank you!
