Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Sydney Harbour

Unique place to stay on the water. The cabin was great as was the boathouse and jetty. Would highly recommend for a nice, relaxing stay.

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.

Helen’s home provided such a beautiful stay. There was a warm welcoming atmosphere as soon as we stepped in, the place is impeccable styled and exceptionally clean. Plus, you cannot beat the location. Thank you so much Helen!

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.

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.

We booked Jenny's place back in January when we were planning our 5-week stay in Australia. We booked this Airbnb based on reviews, and the post on the website, but knew little to nothing about the location, and where it was in relation to the city. We more than lucked out as the apartment more than lived up to expectations, as did the location - close enough to the bustling King St, with bars and restaurants aplenty, close enough to local transport links to get you wherever we needed, but also really quietly placed near Hollis Park. As a host Jenny was brilliant from day one, communicating throughout and responsive to our needs, if we had an issue, not that we had many because she was so well organised from the start. We've done quite a few Airbnb's now and this ranks very close to the top of the tree, because it mixes great hosting with a great property and a great location. Thank you Jenny for a great thirteen days!

We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful house and enjoyed the proximity to the area and beautiful courtyard garden. Kristina was very helpful with ideas of where to eat and visit. It’s also accessible to bus and trains to the city. Her decor was welcoming and it felt like home.

We had a fabulous stay here, the house is stunning and location is so peaceful. Beautiful view out of the balconies. The house had everything we needed for a big group - it has plenty of space, great layout so all of the bedrooms still felt private. Great recommendations for things to do when we arrived too. We particularly enjoyed going out on the kayaks! Lots of beautiful beaches nearby, the closest grocery store was just a few minutes drive. Would highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Beautiful apartment with panoramic views of shell cove and beyond. The garden in front of the building offers a peaceful and private waters edge perspective of Sydney harbour. We were lucky to be there during vivid and could see fireworks on the harbour while sitting at the dinner table. The apartment is cosy and comfortable with a traditional charm to the architecture. Lovely stay.

a truely rare gem of a listing, 100% worth a stay

We had a fantastic stay. The location is excellent with an easy walk to the beach or a supermarket. It's also an easy 15 minutes to the main shopping area for a busier evening when wanted. There is an excellent dining/living room space which is larger than suggested in the photos. Overall we thoroughly recommend this listing.

This was our favourite stay on our 3 months of touring the east coast. Beautiful location situated a short walk from the harbour bridge, local cafes and restaurants. The host was super responsive and there were lots of thoughtful little touches such as a small bag of sugar free treats, sparkling waters and loads of spare supplies for consumables tucked around the house. Our family felt very at home in this place and wouldn’t hesitate a return visit. Perfect location and short walk if you are visiting the harbour or doing the bridge walk.

Great hosts. Lovely apartment in a wonderful location, directly across from beach and easy access to public transport and conveniences. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay or even a bit longer.

Absolutely gorgeous apartment in an ideal location - walkable to everything buzzy in Bondi or the smaller more peaceful beaches in the other direction (Tama, Bronte, etc). Perfect location a short walk from Tamarama beach and the VIEW!!! Apartment is lovely and modern inside, very comfortable and feels very private. Victoria was an incredible host and managed to arrange an early check in and late check out when she found out my flight times. Would absolutely stay again!

We had an amazing stay at LivedIn Coogee. It was a beautifully decorated listing where we felt right at home! It had more than space for two and the king size bed and linen was incredibly comfy. Vanessa was extremely responsive, helpful and hospitable throughout the entire stay. We had a later return flight and she was understanding with accommodating a later checkout and allowed us to store our bags there until we had to take off. Highly recommend the area, it is off a main street and easy to drive/uber to nearby beaches (not very walkable as hilly).

5 Stars. If this rental is available and works for your budget, book it. The ocean views from the main floor are stunning and the property has accordion windows that maximize the ocean breeze and sound of waves breaking on the shore. High quality and clean furniture and comfy beds. The property offers all you will need for a wonderful stay in Tamarama with easy access to the beach path. We walked to Tamarama, Bronte, and Bondi beach from the path. Kevin is easy to communicate with and offered us early checkin, which was a big favor since we landed on checkin day on an early arrival from LAX. We would gladly stay again if we ever have the chance.
