Waterfront apartment accommodation

Apartment at Pacific Bay Resort
This is a beautiful apartment very tastefully furnished, with a great verandah area very private with a lovely view. We felt very relaxed here and would have no hesitation recommending this beautiful apartment for a stay in Coffs Harbour.

Waterfront Apartment & Garden
We stayed here in this unspoilt part of paradise for 4 nights and everything that we experienced from location, weather and amenities of the home were beyond our expectations and made our time here very memorable. Highly recommend Anne's place for a very relaxing and peaceful time away. Thank you Anne for your communication before, during and after our stay.

1 Blue Bay View Spectacular Views of the bay
It is a really beautiful house overseeing the beach near Nelson Bay. My family thoroughly enjoyed the stay for a few nights. Host was really nice, even messaged me that she found my misplaced ring. thank you very much! Best seaside experience we had!

Wombarra Ocean Retreat
Gary provided a lovely little place that I found very convenient for visiting the Sea Cliff Bridge and the cliffside pubs in Scarborough and Clifton. It's got a great outlook of the sea horizon, and was free of suburban noise so that I could fall asleep to the sound of the ocean in a soft, warm bed. I only breakfasted at the accommodation, but the kitchen was well appointed, as were the other facilities. The internet was spot on. Gary was exceedingly helpful and communicative, and I can certainly recommend this listing for solo travellers such as myself looking to spend some time in relative luxury away from Wollongong. The bus north is right across the road, and the stops heading south are within easy enough walk, too.

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
Our stay was fantastic, the apartment was beautiful and clean. we were well accommodated by John who also set up a portacot for our toddler. Great place and host, can't fault a thing!

Breathtaking Sydney Harbour View! @StaySydney
The view from Alisa’s apartment is just amazing in the photos but even better in real life!! Our two night stay during Vivid made it all the more special. Watching the lights from the living room was just mesmerising. Lovely local restaurants and a 5 min walk to the train made it easy to get around. Would definitely stay again!!

Smack Bang on Coogee Beach - 1 bedroom
Danny's house exceeded our expectations in every way! From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need for a relaxing stay. The location is unbeatable—right on Coogee Beach, where we enjoyed morning strolls and breathtaking sunrises. With cafes, shops, and local attractions all within easy reach, it was the perfect spot for exploring and unwinding. Danny was an exceptional host, going out of his way to ensure our stay was comfortable and seamless. He was incredibly accommodating, always quick to respond and genuinely committed to making our experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for the ultimate beachside getaway, this is the place! We can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back.

North Byron 'Absolute' Beachfront Boathouse
We love staying at the Boathouse! Janene and Cameron are the most amazing hosts! As soon as we enter we feel relaxed! Ocean swims all day, beautiful beach, the most amazing sunsets! And the bed, aaah! Best sleep! The kitchen is well equipped for home cooked meals! While you feel like you have stepped completely out of the rat race, major stores are only a short drive away at Ocean Shores! 20 min drive approx to Bangalow and nearby Byron Bay. Brunswick Heads is only a 5 minute drive for some great restaurants, cafes, fishing! We’ve lost count of how many stays we’ve had at this special haven!

The Lake House on Amaroo - Waterfront/Free Wifi
One of the most gorgeous places I’ve stayed. Beautifully designed house, right on the lake. We will be coming back, it was just lovely. Use of kayaks and SUPs was an amazing addition too. Thank you for having us.

SeaPod - Beach Front Holiday Home
SeaPod was the perfect location for a getaway visit to Sydney with my 2 daughters. We explored the local natural environment with trail runs, walks and particularly loved the morning swim in the ocean pool. Spectacular views from every room of the ocean, the surfers, the dolphins and the waves were highlights of our experience. We would love to come back in the near future.

"Seacliff" - Cliff Top Beach House
This house is absolutely stunning, you will not want to leave. The view is spectacular, the inside was cosy and spacious, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine and perfect for a weekend to hang with friends. We will be back because we loved it so much! Thanks for being great hosts! We were lucky enough to get an early check-in and late check-out, which we appreciated greatly!

Little Sea Sea, Waterfront Beachside Apartment
This was such a lovely beach home, the kind you dream of! It was wonderful having views of the water from every corner of the home. Everything in the home was beautiful and thoughtfully furnished. We tried kayaking and fishing and enjoyed it very much. The boys enjoyed playing on the lawn outside and the husband prepared a simple bbq on the patio. The kitchen was also very well equipped. We enjoyed our stay here very much and will definitely be recommending friends over!

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

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.

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!
Waterfront condo accommodation

Ocean Vista apartment with direct beach access; 11
Great place! Amazing views. Perfect set up for a family of 4. Would definitely come back!

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..

Relax in a stylish retreat by the beach and ocean
hosts were really lovely and even left home made cookies for arrival! Lovely clean apparentment close to the beach and walks. I didn't realise there was no oven so that was the only downside for us but it was great value for the money

Element Building - central Kingston foreshore
We had a wonderful stay at Kingston. The apartment was close to restaurants and all the amenities we required. Even though the apartment was close to everything it was quiet and also very comfortable. We are looking forward to staying there on our next visit to Canberra.

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.

Penthouse On The Promenade
A beautiful home in a perfect location that was central to everything! We felt like we were in a luxurious accommodation and it exceeded our expectations. Wish we had more time, we could’ve honestly just sat on the balcony watching the water the entire weekend.
