Luxury Beachfront apartment on North Steyne
Absolutely exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, literally across the road from the beautiful manly beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is even better than the pictures, extremely spacious and comfortable. Also very easy on the eye with designer furniture. Zoe went above and beyond as a host when we left a soggy wetsuit behind and she posted it back to us. Would definitely re book. Thanks Zoe

Absolute beachfront luxury Manly apartment
Had a wonderful stay for one month at this Airbnb! The hosts were so helpful, everything about the apartment was carefully thought about with what I needed for the full long stay. I couldn’t recommend enough, the balcony onto the beach has amazing sunrise views of the beach and surfers, with cockatoos visiting everyday. We had a very comfortable stay and the apartment is in pristine condition, you wouldn’t know guests have stayed before and the kitchen is fully stocked with everything from children’s kitchenware to hosting a dinner party! 10/10

Best Beachfront Location - Beach Views Every Room
This is a great location and beautiful apartment. Toni was very responsive and helped with all of my questions. I would definitely rent again, it was a great stay!

Balgowlah Harbour views entire floor
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.

Brand new | Water views | Beach access
We enjoyed staying here very much. The apartment is very comfty and very nice located between the two beaches at Manly. Safe and very nice neighbourhood. We also loved the cafes around the corner very much. Very local and very close to Sydney downtown by ferry. Since we do lots of sports this is a very good location and base. Highly recommended

Panoramic Ocean Views, Clifftop Location & Pool!
Amazing apartment, sensational view and nathans a great host, really exceeded expectations

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

Surfways Executive Apartment at Manly Beach
Surfways Manly apartment is absolutely wonderful! A perfect spot for two people to enjoy all that Manly offers. It was the perfect home away from home for my husband and I to spend a month there. The apartment is beautiful and modern. Everything is at a high quality and Robyn has kitted it out with everything a guest could need. The building has an incredible location (and views!) right across the street from Manly Beach and is walkable to everything. Lots of nice coffee shops and restaurants nearby. We really appreciated how there were kitchen and bathroom supplies provided for our long stay (like coffee pods, plastic wrap, salt/pepper) and there were even snacks/drinks that welcomed us! Robyn is an incredibly thoughtful and friendly host who made us feel so comfortable throughout our stay. She was always responsive and would check in to see if we needed anything. Many thanks, Robyn, for your warm hospitality. It was so hard to leave! Highly recommend and we hope to return!

Great place to stay for a long weekend!

The View - Uninterrupted Sydney Harbour Bridge
Really enjoyed staying at the house - view of the bridge is spectacular. We went to two shows at the Opera House and hit the Galleries ... we were able to walk everywhere which was great. Suzanna was great giving us lot's of local recommendations from the pub across the road to high end options. She was very communicative and I couldn't have wished for more from a host.

Treetop Water View Sanctuary
I enjoyed dealing with Kate who deserves her reputation as a super host. She was unlike some other hosts I have dealt with very flexible with check in and check out times. I really hope that I have the opportunity to stay in this lovely property again and wish her all the best

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!

Pagoda Point
This place is absolutely fantastic and there’s nothing to fault at all! The design of the whole place is well thought out and clean. The location is incredibly beautiful. George, Patrick and Dave were super responsive and helpful with any enquiries we had. It was a wonderful stay overall and my entire family had so much fun, they can not wait to come back already. I had so many friends asking for the Airbnb listing after seeing the pictures of the place so I can only assume how hard it would be to book this place in the future! Thank you again George, Patrick and Dave for the perfect experience.

Bundeena Beachside Oasis
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.

Waterfront Playground
This was the most beautiful place to say - I can’t express how the even though the pictures looked amazing- they didn’t do it justice. We were blown away and that sunset on the water was breathtaking. Felt so homey and we didn’t want to leave. I will be back - just delightful and the host were so kind and accomodating. PLUS SUPER COMFY FURNITURE

Stunning 4BR Waterfront House w/pool in Sth Coogee
Ben’s home is amazing! The house was cute and very clean. Beautifully decorated. It had lots of space if you are traveling with a decent amount of people. The view is INCREDIBLE. I have never seen anything so beautiful in my life. The pool was incredible. Ben was a great host and very responsive. Would 100% stay again.

I was in town working on a film, Victoria is amazing and The Place! Gorgeous..you get your quiet beautiful view of the ocean and surfers. You can walk over and have a delicious meal or cocktail. I hope to come back, beautiful stay.

Beachfront Penthouse w Huge Balcony & Garage
We stayed at Daniel’s place as a family with 2 young kids. We had a long drive to get there and arrived late so I couldn’t quite work out the check in instructions I messaged Daniel and he replied instantly helping me through it! Lovely large apartment directly across from the beach. Lovely location a bit quieter than the other end but a short walk to everything. There’s a few flights of stairs which we were aware of prior to booking, was a bit tricky with the kids prams and stuff but to be expected! I can’t fault the Airbnb and loved how responsive and welcoming Daniel was :) Bonus that there’s garaged parking big enough for a 4WD. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Harbour Views Luxury Apartment
Great spot. Very spacious and hosts were very communicative and responsive.

Waterfront Apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac
My wife and I stayed a week, and really enjoyed the stay. The house works well for a couple. We especially enjoyed the open living room, kitchen and dining room. The deck was wonderful too. The area was quiet at night as well. The view is fabulous and is the house's best feature. Even on a rainy day it's still lovely to stay inside, drink some coffee and read (as well as take in that view). We enjoyed walks around the Potts Point neighborhood, and it's a nice walk to the Wooloomooloo Wharf, RBG, the Art Gallery, and the Opera House/Circular Quay. There are a couple of fans, but during the mid-summer months heat might be an issue. During our stay the temperatures were moderate, and just opening the windows to catch the breeze made the house comfortable. The host was first-rate: attentive, friendly, and responsive. Thanks.

Stunning Bondi Beach Ocean View full apartment
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.

Waterview Retreat: Free Parking & Near the Mall
The property was great and the cleanliness was impressive. I had a wonderful time and would definitely consider booking it again in the future.

Lux Home. Harbour Views & Parking. 3Bed2BathOption
Great place in an awesome location. Extremely easy instructions for getting in, clear and helpful instructions in the apartment. Views are amazing and the apartment is extremely well equipped. Perfect for our family stay over the long weekend.
