1 Blue Bay View Spectacular Views of the bay
We love the place. Great sunset from the balcony, well-stocked pantry with condiments, etc. Place was clean, well-appointed size. Modern. Tip: the beds are really nice but has different firmness - check before choosing your room! This is the downstairs apartment. Choose upstairs for better view. Direct access with private driveway, too!

Sunday’s Beachside Apartment
Taree is a great host, she was always responsive and provided great support with every little detail making our stay a great experience. The place is pristine, greatly located, nice views and excellent cafes/ restaurants a few meters away, for sure one of those destinations that we look forward returning and recommending. Thanks Taree, you made things clear and easy for me and my family!

Ocean Pearl - Level 39
Amazing view, if you want to wake up to a view of the coastline and be on the beach in just one minute, this will be your best choice!

Stunning Location Close to Lakeside.
Cute and cosy little apartment. Great spot, well priced and Arlene was super friendly.

Exclusive beachfront getaway
Janette’s beautiful beach front property was fresh, clean and had the most amazing view of the beach and sunset! We had no trouble finding the house and getting in with wary and quick communication with our host and had all the necessary amenities for our 3 night trip. This property is very well designed and was a perfect retreat for my partner and I’s anniversary. The bed was super comfy and bathroom was a great size! We also loved the covered outdoor seating and overall style of the property. We recommend this property to all parties of two!

Luxurious 1 Bed Penthouse with Hot Tub
Chante was an absolutely amazing host, The Penthouse was squeaky clean, Kitchen was beautiful and had all you need - Coffee/milk/sugar/coffe machine all the cutlery you might need. The spa is amazing, the bed and couch are super comfortable, and Chante was kind enough to allow us an early check-in upon request. She was very responsive and friendly as well , would absolutely recommend this place, The only thing you might find a bit odd is the smell due to the spa being in the open but use the Exhause fan on top of the spa that helps alot, My only recommendation would be adding some sort of Air-freshner, Other than that this place was absolutely Fantastic. 💯

World-class Sydney Harbour View-SuperHost
Nina was very helpful and responsive throughout our stay. Views are unbeatable. Getting into circular quay and other destinations was easy, the ferry being a fun novelty mode of transport. Nice restaurants close by

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

Luxurious Unique, Private Paradise-Kangaroo Manor
What a beautiful little slice of the yarra valley. The heating was very efficient, it was icy overnight and we had no idea. We woke to kangaroos outside the window each morning. The caretakers lodge was much closer to the accommodation than I expected, however they were very helpful and friendly and I didn't see them apart from when I checked in. The house is stunning. The view from the huge windows is lovely. It felt very luxurious and was a lovely place to stay after getting married. I would absolutely recommend Kangaroo Manor to others, and I'd love the opportunity to stay there again one day. The hosts were very proactive, kind, and professional, and gave me the impression that I could contact them at any time. Thank you for a very memorable experience.

Oysterhouse: Luxury & privacy at the water's edge
We had the most wonderful stay at Nigel and Denise’s place. The views were absolutely breathtaking – waking up to the ever-changing water and skies was pure magic. The house was thoughtfully designed, immaculately clean, and incredibly comfortable. We especially loved the cozy living areas, and the luxurious bathrooms with spectacular views. Everything was exactly as described – or even better! Thank you for creating such a peaceful and beautiful retreat. It was the perfect base for our Tasmanian adventure. We would absolutely love to return someday!

Beekeepers-Ocean Architectural Off-Grid Sanctuary
The house and surrounding property was better than we imagined. It was one of the most beautiful houses we have stayed in, and the view from the living area was breathtaking. We didn’t go anywhere all weekend because the house was so relaxing and comfortable and all we wanted to do was look out the windows at the ocean. Thank you Richard for letting us enjoy your property.

Huon River Hideaway Luxury Huon Valley Tasmania
The bush setting , the water views, the design and fit out are all top notch . Private and tranquil . We appreciated the expresso coffee machine ( and local beans in generous supply ) and other welcoming touches . Everything has been thought of in this immaculately presented house . Loved watching the light change as the sun went down . Thank you Jennifer and team .

The Post Office - Luxury Wilderness Escape
The Post Office is such a special stay - beautifully put together and in a great location not far from all there is to see at Cradle Mountain. We stayed in the chill of a Tassie winter and felt warm and cosy the entire time. It’s got everything you need and the kitchen’s an absolute joy to cook in. Madeleine and Andy were responsive and laid out everything you need to know for a comfortable stay well ahead of time. I’d recommend it to anyone interested in basing themselves within the remote north west.

Billabong Falls
This little peace of heaven was perfect for our family to celebrate my 40th birthday. From the moment we walked in the front gate to see the house amongst the gum trees and then the waterfall from the bedroom. We felt like we stepped into an old fairytale world with our own treehouse. Everywhere we walked felt like little fairy’s were waiting to greet us. The ferns throughout and stepping stones between each area made for the best adventures. The kids loved watching the frogs and tadpoles in the back pool. The natural pool was incredible and soul nourishing. Our first experience with a natural pool and it was breathtaking, especially being able to swim under the waterfalls. Thank you so much Sarah, we hope to return sometime Soon.

Elbert - Crackenback - 2BR
We had a wonderful stay at Elbert! The apartment was exceptionally clean, had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay and Kate left few extra little thoughtful comforts out for our arrival. Lake Crackenback is the perfect location for a Snowy Mountain holiday - there are plenty of easy walks throughout the resort grounds, a ski hire shop, cafe and restaurant on site and Thredbo easily accessible by car. We will definitely be back to stay at Elbert again. Thanks Kate and Jeremy!

Listen to the ocean crash against the shore.
Ben's place was incredible, so peaceful and clean and matched the photos perfectly. Great for a getaway from the city!

Ocean view 1 bedroom apartment
We really loved the location of Sammi's place, super close to shops, beach front and restaurants/cafes. Plenty to do, but also a great spot to relax and watch the waves roll in. Everything was accounted for and we felt right at home as soon as we stepped through the doors. Definitely recommend this gem and will return!

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
This accomodation was outstanding. Great location and the unit was equipped with everything you needed including some thoughtful items like a coffee machine, condiments in the fridge to a variety of tea and coffee selections. Communication was on point with step by step instructions on how to access the unit and Mark was very reactive to emails. The outlook was amazing, listening to the sound of the waves and the sunsets ❤️. I will be back..

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.
