Sydney Darling Harbour Sydney Views
We had a fabulous time at Kevin’s place. It is in a great location to restaurants, pubs, activities and the ferries! In fact, our last night we had a fabulous feast of fresh seafood that we purchased at the fish market that is a 10 minute walk away. We ate on the balcony over looking the city scape and bridge. Kevin’s place is just as described with very comfortable beds and everything you’ll need for your stay. In addition, Kevin was a great host with good communication! We hope to be back soon!

Luxurious new 3-bedroom penthouse apartment
Great stay at Noel's place. Very easy to while away time on the lovely deck watching the rain fall. The lift, apartment layout and flooring made it easy for two mobility walkers to navigate. Clean and spacious. Undercover parking and lots of great restaurants were a bonus.

Harbour Magic - Footsteps to the Beach and Ferry
Had a great time in manly close to everything and a great host.

East end apartment in leafy heritage precinct.
Bianca's apartment was gorgeous. It had everything we needed plus! The mood created with decorative lamps, plants and luxurious fabrics was warm and inviting. The bed and linen, beautiful to look at and sleeping was a dream. We really enjoyed the privacy of the balcony, it was like another room of the apartment. Comfortable and again lots of plants and special fabrics and cushions. We walked everywhere, watched huge container ships coming into the port. Lots to see, beaches, historical buildings and lots of areas to walk or ride along. Restaurants & coffee shops and of course, unique boutiques and retro shops to explore. We would definitely stay there again.

SALTY LIFE No. 4 - Absolute Water & Beachfront
Beautiful home with stunning views. Very peaceful and relaxing. The host was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend.

MODERN LUXURY! New 2B2B Apt, Water views, WiFi
Shubo’s warm and friendly welcome, a very easy check-in, a lovely location and a comfortable, peaceful apartment - I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and hope to be back soon!

Manly Holiday Harbour Waterfront
The stay was wonderful, beautiful surroundings, breathtaking sea views, soothing waves and little creatures. The flat was very carefully designed and decorated, it’s a complete new experience that we had. But most importantly we had Melodie as our host and she made us feel at home. We appreciated how helpful and kind she was and we are touched by her personality.

Waterfront 1-bedroom home with stunning views
We really enjoyed our stay. When I accidentally left my passport behind, she arranged it so that someone would be there to pick it back up. The place is exactly as advertised, clean, and all the amenities that you could ask for. Would love to come back some day.

Absolute Waterfront Cottage in Port Stephens
Thanks Kenny for a great stay beautiful spot.

Cabarita Beach House
We had the most wonderful holiday at this beautiful house! It was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. The house was perfect size, amazing layout, stylish, and had everything we needed. Danielle, the host, was incredible—her thoughtful extra touches made all the difference and truly made us feel at home. We had an amazing time and will definitely be returning! Highly recommend!

Cheerful waterfront 5 bedrooms home
We absolutely loved our stay! The perfect place for our family with young kids and a dog. The location is amazing - literally had to walk across the road to go swimming. Close to shops and other activities and the walking/riding path is great. The house has everything we needed and was super spacious and comfy. Metinee is lovely and very helpful. Could not have asked for a better summer holiday 😁

Karoola
Helen was super friendly, knowledgeable and gave us lots of information to make us as comfortable as possible. The house itself is in a perfect spot on the water, super spacious, light filled interior and beautifully appointed. We all felt right at home and this made our weekend getaway an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much Helen!!

Come Float Your Boat at the Boat House on Newport!
The first thing you notice about The Boat House is the amount of space and options for sleeping, socialising and engaging in activities. The attention to detail, from catering to supplying everything a family might need for an enjoyable stay, is outstanding. My favourite part of the experience was the beautiful view over the water while dining on the verandah. The Boat House is perfect for families and multiple couples.

Waterfront reserve 2bedroom cottage
We had a lovely stay, the view was beautiful and the place was nice and peaceful. Angela was a great host, always quick to respond and very accommodating. She even offered late checkout when she didn't have anyone else coming to stay, which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend this place :)

Absolute Waterfront House-Private Jetty Sleeps 8
We had a truly lovely time in this quiet and beautiful location. The surroundings were stunning, and it had everything we needed. Given that it was Christmas, it was a very thoughtful gesture from Karen to provide a Christmas tree and festive decorations, as we didn’t have room to bring our own. The kitchen was well stocked with all the essentials for cooking our meals, plus many thoughtful touches that made us feel completely at home.

The Boat House -4pm checkout on Sundays!
We had a lovely stay at Karen’s place. Photos don’t do it justice … a beautiful outlook and everything you could need for a mini escape! It does get hot in the house but air con is super effective and kept us perfectly cool.

Ocean Vista apartment with direct beach access; 11
Beautiful location right on the beach, easy access with local cafe next door. Unique apartment with everything you need, stunning views any time of the day. The apartment was in a central location with short walks in both directions to local amenities, coffee shops, restaurants and convenience stores. Dan and Robert provided all bedding & towels and the complimentary basket was a great touch. Great experience!

Ocean view 1 bedroom apartment
Wow wow wow. One of the best accommodations I have ever been to. The Airbnb is super clean, well kept and spacious. We felt super comfortable during our stay. Furthermore, the area is really nice. The beach is only a couple of minutes away and there are restaurants and cafes as well. Sammi was super kind, helpful and quick to respond. She even allowed us to check in a few our early which helped us massively since we had a lot of baggage. Couldn’t recommend this Airbnb enough.

"The View" Waterfront Apartment Shoal Bay
Mark and Leah provide accommodation which is superbly clean and comfortable and has many little touches (such as the beach umbrella and towels, and the welcome drinks in the fridge) which make for a very pleasant stay. The highlight is definitely the wonderful view of the bay, the foreshore, the headlands and the pier, which always has something interesting to watch. They also provide excellent information for self check in before arrival, and access to the apartment and nearby parking is really easy. The location is excellent for access to cafes and restaurants nearby and also for some beautiful walks in the local area. For a week's stay, the washer and dryer are very handy too. There is also an excellent TV with Netflix, YouTube and Foxtel. The kitchen is especially well equipped, with both pod and a grounds coffee machines. We are well travelled and this was one of the most comfortable apartments we have stayed in. Thank you Mark and Leah.

Element Building - central Kingston foreshore
Couldn’t have been happier with this place, plenty of room, everything was spotless, all the necessary amenities were available, and in a great location. Would definitely book again

Stunning Bondi Beach Ocean View full apartment
Location, Location, Location. So easy to get to anywhere in Bondi especially the beach. View from living room is spectacular.

Modern Beachfront: steps to restaurants, beach etc
We had the most wonderful holiday in Coolangatta, and absolutely loved Toni's apartment. It's gorgeous with the most amazing views, extremely comfortable and everything we need on our doorstep. We were spoilt with whales passing through the region during our stay - from our apartment we had incredible views of the ocean and could see the whales all day, it was amazing. Thank you Toni for all your tips on what to do and where we could hire bikes, boogie boards, surf boards etc! We packed so much into our holiday and can't wait to come back!
