The Cronulla Garden Studio
Very comfortable and squeaky clean Airbnb in a great location. Really appreciated the little extras!

Spacious Self-Contained Granny Flat
We spent 10 days at this Tia's Airbnb and had a great experience. The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped for a longer stay. The host was responsive, friendly, and made everything easy for us. Communication was smooth from start to finish. We’d happily stay here again and recommend it to others!

Fire @ Ethel & Ode's
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Incredible Stay! This was easily one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had! The location was stunning, offering breathtaking views that made every moment feel special. From sunrise to sunset, the scenery was simply unforgettable. The property itself was beautifully maintained, spotlessly clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The host Catherine was fantastic—attentive, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway in a spectacular setting, this is the place to book. I can’t recommend it highly enough and will definitely be back!

Tall Timbers Cottage
The host was very generous with breakfast provisions including toasted muesli, muffins, yoghurt, butter, milk, and coffee pods. The accommodation itself is very clean and is next to the main residence. The outlook to the bush is very nice and whilst there is some traffic noise, it does not interfere with the quiet enjoyment of the property. Would recommend to anyone who wants a few days respite only an hour or so from inner Sydney.

1830's converted barn with sauna
Fantastic stay in the barn. It’s kind of like a fully equipped cubby house for grown ups. Enjoyed it heaps, and the sauna heats up a treat. Great value. Hopefully will be back soon.

Modern heritage: The Stables in Enmore
Fantastic location and a very comfortable, spacious apartment. If you have a car, parking can be a little tricky at times given the location but we always managed to find a spot and we had a fabulous time in Enmore/Newtown with lost of pubs, cafes and restaurants within a short walk of the Airbnb. Would be the perfect spot if you were going to a gig at the Enmore Theatre. Verity was a wonderful host, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. And their gorgeous dog Winston is an added bonus for dog lovers! Highly recommend a stay here and we will definitely stay again if we are back in the area.

Beachy one bedroom garden flat
Lisa opened her flat to my son and his partner. She was very helpful, open, and genuinely caring. I know they appreciate her immensely, and I could rest assured that they were comfortably enjoying their accommodations on the other side of the world. Thank you so much for your gracious hospitality, Lisa!

Luxury Studio in Bondi Beach
Yaël was friendly, welcoming and overall an excellent host! The place was super comfortable in a really nice location in Bondi which was very walkable to some great eateries. I would highly recommend this place and will be top of my list when returning to Bondi

Stylish Paddington Oasis.
Henry’s place in Paddington is the perfect spot in Sydney! Accessible to everything and extremely clean and cozy to come home to at the end of the day. Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Henry was easy to communicate with (even across time zones) and has curated the perfect Sydney oasis. The rainbow lorikeets in the morning are the best added bonus!

Darwin's Studio
Our stay certainly lived up to the hype and more!! Some of the highlights include hot tea, homemade bread and dessert for us on arrival, the most vibey space, fireplace perfect for getting cozy, well equipped kitchen and Bianca as a host! Bianca was so helpful with many recommendations and more than happy to help with our requests. If you’re thinking of booking this place, do it! Perfect for couple for a restful retreat!

That Beach Shack - Tranquil Pool & Beach Getaway
Very nice and cozy place. The host is very responsive and generous. The place was exactly as described. All the amenities are as described he even provided the toiletries which said won’t be provided. Overall nice stay. Cons- the toilets and bathrooms are outside the room but in the vicinity (Although manageable)

Vibrant Garden Studio w/Parking, private access
I loved this gorgeous studio in its garden setting. It was just what I needed for a couple of nights stay close to but outside of the CBD; and the off street parking is a bonus. I had everything I needed and Davin had included special touches like eco-friendly bathroom products, plush towels and freshly ground coffee which really made the studio feel very cosy and were much appreciated. I’d recommend highly.

Cutest street in the cutest neighbourhood.
The place was lovely and clean. The beds were super comfortable (the best I’ve seen in an air bnb) and the styling is great too. The entry is so cute - it’s like a secret garden entrance. The neighbourhood is quiet, leafy and beautiful to walk around in while being close to local restaurants, shops and cafes. The suggested places to visit was really helpful. We loved out stay and definitely would return!

Modern 1Bdr Cottage - Walk to Beach
Very comfortable and well equipped cottage for a couple, close to buses for access to light rail and city, close to pleasant walks around Malabar Beach and the headland. Jenny and Lance are very welcoming and hospitable and could not have done more to ensure an enjoyable stay.

The Ettalong Tree Tops | Easter Fun
We recently stayed at this property and can confidently say it was exactly as described. Communication was a breeze from start to finish, which made the entire experience stress-free. The space was incredibly roomy, spotlessly clean, and clearly well-maintained. The shower, in particular, was amazing—truly a highlight of the stay. Overall, I rate my experience a perfect 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!

"The Nest," intimate studio hideaway for couples.
The Nest was a beautiful and cosy little place to stay which was perfect for my Easter weekend getaway. It was convenient with the included parking spot, although it is slightly offroad. It was also walking distance to the restuarants in the area by accessing a flight of stairs near by. We recommend Joanne's place!

Modern New York style loft apartment. North Sydney
Mary's place is beautiful, very comfy and with everything you could need. Mary is right next door if you have any questions. It's about a 10 minute walk down to a variety of transport services to get into the city. I enjoyed my stay very much!

Secluded Cottage with Mountain and Valley Views
What a hidden gem Wonga Hut is! Stunning views, mature gardens. You wouldn’t know it was there. Very peaceful. Jack and Karen were very responsive with plenty of helpful recommendations.

❤ Lazy Hans cabin 12min Walk to the Ettalong Beach
Christina made us feel very welcome and the place was very private. peaceful and easy to find. Christina was an excellent host. Easy walk to Ettalong Beach and the amenities were exceptional. Highly recommend.

Heart of Rockdale.
It was my second time staying at Jason’s and I find it perfect in every way

Annandale Self Contained flat & area 'Old Stable"
Sandra greeted us as we jumped out of the Uber and from there made us feel extremely welcome at her place. We even met her family which was special. The room was very private and set in a lovely courtyard with table and chairs for al fresco dining. Being 5 min walk to Roselle light rail meant we were at Pyrmont fish markets within minutes and a hop skip and a jump to the CBD. Food options nearby were plentiful plus Sandras generous breakfast food made life easy. We highly recommend this stay

Bonton Bliss Modern Sleeps 4 in the Blue Mountains
Had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The place was spotless and had everything we needed. Great location, close to everything. Highly recommend! Five stars!

Bondi Garden Studio - short walk to Bondi Beach
Comfortable spot in convenient location. Comfy bed, great shower and loads of key amenities packed into a small space. Easy walking distance to the beach and surrounding Bondi stores and restaurants.

'Serenita' - Garden unit on North Curl Curl Beach
Perfect stay for the 10 days I was in Sydney. Had everything I needed & location is fabulous. Kitchen well equipped to make meals. Easy walking to cafes & beaches all around. Very peaceful & a huge plus having plenty of parking spaces outside the Airbnb. Marilyn is a very attentive host responding very quickly. Had a problem one of the days with the tv & it was fixed that same day. Thank you I really enjoyed my stay.
