Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Balgowlah

The Glasshouse is a amazing place to getaway and have peace and quiet. 45 minutes from Sydney. 10 minutes by boat to the marina for morning coffee. I have stayed all round the World in Air BnB's and George is the best host ever, Patrick and Liam are your contacts on the river and live locally, nothing is ever a problem. Highly recommended.

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.

Another great stay thanks!

Our stay was amazing! The place was spotless and exactly like the photos! Francine our stay extremely comfortable. 5 stars through and through!

Situated in beautiful quiet back street. Long walk down side of house to accommodation under main house. No problem for us but might be a little tough if you are not very ambulant. Fantastic walk down to the water through rainforest like vegetation to the ferry. Amazing. From ferry can get anywhere in the bay area. No kitchen or kitchen sink but they do offer to wash any dishes etc. So no cooking. Lots of food extras. Very happy with stay.

What an awesome stay - we loved the house and the location was perfect. Paloma was awesome - really helpful and great communication… Will definitely be back next time we head over to Sydney.👌🏻

The studio is stunning! The garden is beautiful and it’s quite close to the lake! Even though the studio is attached to the house, it still feels 100% private! I was stunned by the food in the freezer that we were free to use if we wanted! That was a very thoughtful! The bed was extremely comfortable. This space has been utilised very well! we would love to rebook in the future!

Lovely place with a beautiful outlook! The space was very relaxing and peaceful whilst being quirky and fun at the same time. Would be a really nice place to unwind for a week

We loved our stay at Elise’s place . The unit was spacious , clean , close to the beach and restaurants . We took our dog which was amazing as Elise’s place has a private grass area he could run around and play . We will definitely be back

Robyn’s apartment was immaculate. Fantastic use of storage throughout including providing plenty of hangers in wardrobe. We loved opening up the balcony windows, watching the surfers and using the binoculars provided to watch the whales. The resident cockatoos were fun too. We would highly recommend Robyn’s place.

Such a beautiful place to stay! The views are amazing! The property looks exactly like the photos. Easy to find, easy to park, Jess and Marcia have fantastic communication if you need anything. I definitely stay again in a heart beat.

Peta and Grahams home is an oasis and perfect for one person or a couple for either a short or longer stay. The space is immaculate and every thing has been thought of with care and consideration. The fridge filled with essentials was a lovely surprise along with the welcome letter and chocolates. Being a local I was very familiar with the area but this would be a perfect place for interstate and overseas visitors to have a sense of a bushland setting, proximity to beautiful middle harbour bushwalks, the creek bubbling away in the rear yard at the same time being very easy to access the Sydney CBD. Highly recommend . Thank you Peta and Graham for your hospitality

Highly recommend this place for anyone staying in Manly, really central location close to beach, shops, restaurants and the ferry terminal

This huge one bedroom apartment was very comfortable and very spacious. Massive living area and big bedroom with full sized bathroom plus 2nd toilet and large well appointed kitchen. There are a lot of personal touches that make the stay very comfortable. The views are beautiful and outdoor area is great. This is a very walkable area to Balgowlah and to Manly with a lot of very regular buses into Manly and the city as well as northern beaches. Our dog enjoyed his stay very much and loved the off leash dog park that was 3 mins away.

An excellent location for a stay alone or if you are coming as a couple! Very close proximity to the beaches and short drive to Balmoral baths! I enjoy fishing so being able to go to a location like Balmoral baths for fishing was truly an amazing experience for me! Would love to be back again in the future!

Robyn’s place was an incredible find! It was roomy enough for our group of 5, got awesome sunlight, and is walkable to all of the best parts of Manly!

Great place! Amazing views. Perfect set up for a family of 4. Would definitely come back!

Strongly recommend for the stay in Sydney, especially if you are beach lover! Location super convenient to the congee and great amenities within short distance. Although we did not get a chance to nice Penny, from the conversation with her, I can feel she is a sincere host and help you along the way even before arrival. Her place is spotlessly clean and comfortable to stay.

This stay was amazing. It had all the amenities you needed for a nice weekend away and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The host was very kind and responded to messages promptly. Would highly recommend this stay.

This little apartment is in a perfect location to walk all things Double Bay. It is neat, tidy & very very comfortable.

Di’s place was everything I was looking for during my 5 night stay. It was nice that it came pre-stocked with some basics (coffee pods, tea bags and instant oatmeal) if you arrived without groceries (like me). It also comes with any necessary cleaning supplies for longer stays (dish detergent, clothes detergent , bathroom etc.). I felt safe in the building. A key fob is required to enter building and access your specific floor. Motion sensor lighting greets you upon exiting the elevator. Location was perfect, 1.5 blocks from Museum train station (direct trains to airport) and multiple bus lines. Nearby Hyde park was lovely to walk through and the Hyde Park Barracks at the opposite end is a must see museum to learn about the settlement of Sydney. Easy to walk to Chinatown and the Paddy Market (great for souvenirs) as well as the botanical gardens, the Opera House or Darling Harbor and the Maritime Museum. Coles (open until midnight) and an IGA are within 2-3 blocks.

Great compact apartment in Potts Point, in a very central area. Close to shops, cafes, public transport and restaurants. Immaculately clean and comfortable. Everything’s was as displayed in the listing.

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.

We had a great stay and appreciated the proximity to Central Station. The apartment was quiet and comfortable. Damien was very responsive and friendly, a wonderful host.
