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.

The Arc Bondi Beach
This place was perfect for what we wanted. Close to cafes and the beach yet in a lovely residential street - we felt felt safe and at home. Comfortable, great linen (none of this synthetic, sweaty hotel stuff), fly screens on the windows for inspect-free fresh air, and a fab kitchen for a proper dinner cook!

Collaroy Luxe Pool House
Beautiful spacious house-with everything you need for comfort and relaxation. The gardens and hillside setting are just magnificent. Loved the birds and all the outdoor spaces.

Beautiful house in Sylvania Waters
Beautiful place and amazing pool!

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.
Private Luxury Apartment Sitting atop Pittwater
Evelyns space was nice and quiet with spectacular views of Pittwater Bay. My family had an absolutely lovely stay. Evelyn is very helpful and quick to respond to anything guests may need. Apartment is in great location, walking distance to town and beaches.

Peaceful 4-bed Concord escape with private pool
We had a great stay at this lovely home, tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The location made for a very peaceful and private experience. The house itself was spacious and well laid out, with four generously sized bedrooms, all featuring comfortable beds. One night did get a little chilly, and it would’ve been helpful to have a few extra blankets on hand—we ended up using the doonas from the unused beds, which worked fine. The kitchen was impressively large. There was a coffee machine too, which was a nice touch—though having some milk provided would have made it even better. The pool area looked beautiful and inviting, although it was a bit too chilly for a swim during our visit. Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay. I’d definitely come back again and would happily recommend this place to others looking for a quiet, comfortable home away from home.

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!

Contemporary Victorian Charm
An excellent location, lovely warm and decorated home with a lot of charm. Antonio was an excellent host. Very comfortable beds too.

Villa Catherine - 3BR Lilyfield
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.

Inner city cottage hideaway
We had such a wonderful time! It was the perfect spot for our wee family to explore Sydney - close to transport networks, stocked with everything we needed, heaps of character and Alexis was always incredibly friendly to deal with. Would definitely stay again when back in Sydney!

Little Paradise close to CBD
This was our first experience with AirBnB and what a wonderful introduction to such a great service. Janine was not only helpful and responsive as a host but made us feel right at home. Her place was exactly as described, we found it to be a little oasis in a big city. Excellent location close to shops, restaurants and public transport, simply parked the car and forgot about it for the duration of our stay. Thanks again Janine and AirBnB. 5 stars.

Cozy 3 bed house Balmain Central
Sharon is a super host! She is great with communication and so kind to have allowed me to check in a bit early to leave my luggage, which was a great help! The place is clean and so close to Balmain shops, just 5 minutes walk, and before the Main Street there are plenty of eclectic cafes around. Really just the perfect stay in Sydney. Love it!

Beautiful Balmain East Terrace House
Beautifully appointed house. Great neighborhood with many cafes, restaurants and shopping options. Lovely walks and views on the harbour. Ideal location close to the ferry and bus. Will definitely go back if available ale during our next visit.

Vernon House
This is a hidden gem. We will definitely stay here again. Just 4 minutes by ferry to the centre of the city but felt like we were another world away as it was so quiet. Jillian was great to deal with. Highly recommended

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!

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.

Spacious Family Home in Sydney's northern suburbs.
Sarah really looked after us as we hired the house for a long weekend as our wedding venue was just down the road. House has everything you need, coffee machine is excellent. Lots of space which was handy when all the family came over to get ready ahead of the wedding. Nice 10 min walk down to the water and to the Hunters Hill shops the other direction with a little supermarket and plenty of cafes etc. Great house, has everything you need and Sarah is a brilliant host. Would stay again

rivescape, Berowra Waters
BOOK THE STAY! Words can’t describe how much we enjoyed our weekend here. The hosts are responsive and helpful, the short boat transfer from the marina is seamless ( thanks Collin), and the views from the house are unbeatable. The wifi is fast, the smart TV’a were great , the house is well stocked, and you have everything you need to relax. We had an absolutely magical time and though we live out of the country we will make every effort to come back!

Australia Architecture Award Winner Heritage House
We were in Sydney for the long weekend, Frank was great with organising our booking, we were able to pop our bags in early and the house was amazing exactly like the pictures. A short walk to cafes bars and shops such a great location. We would definitely stay again

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.

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!

Rozelle Retreat by the Bay Run
Wonderful location, we stayed here while awaiting to move to our new house and are already familiar with the area. The house is a few minutes walk to the Bay Run and the newly refurbished King George's playground. Rozelle and Balmain are also within walking distance so great for shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. Moloney's grocery is excellent and the coffee at Dirty Red is a must. The house itself has three very spacious bedrooms (the kid's bedroom has a sunroom which my daughter loved), large kitchen and living space opening onto a cute outdoor space. The house was spotless upon arrival and easy to maintain. Although close to Victoria Road noise was not an issue. We also found parking most days outside the house and on the odd occasion on the adjoining street. Angela and her team were very responsive with any questions we had and accepted the booking promptly when we had an issue with another airbnb. highly recommend.
