Family-friendly vacation rentals in Forest Lodge

Perfect location. Walking distance to cbd, restaurants and bars nearby, lots of public transport options. Comfortable apartment with beautiful views of Hyde park.

neat and tidy apartment with very comfortable bed. very central location to theatre, great restaurants and city

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.

Great apartment in a terrific spot

Great location just off the Corso, super accessible to Manly beach and the ferry to Circular Quay. Kirsti was a super host, always accessible and responsive and helpful. Would definitely return, enjoyed my stay. Also loved the A/C, needed in view of the late summer weather.

Coco’s place was perfect, great location and everything we needed for a Sydney city stay. The apartment has everything we needed which made or stay super easy. Coco met us and checked us in and is a fantastic host.

A great affordable option to stay in for the popular neighbourhoods of Sydney. Great access to public transit and walkable to most things as well. James was a massive help throughout and made our experience all the better for it.

Walking distance to everything Darling harbour has to offer! great coffee from the motel Cafe across the street. Pyrmont bridge hotel for beers and happy hour. Coles, restaurants, aquarium, lyric theatre, Crown etc etc, we walked to Queen Vic building and Pitt st mall easily. Balcony great for fireworks and view from the roof pool was awesome. There are 2 new harbourside apartment complexes under construction that will impact the view eventually from this 3rd floor unit but I think a decent harbour view will still be available - we experienced no noise from construction. Unit was neat and clean, could do with a few updates/improvements which i have emailed. The host was responsive and friendly. queen bed was comfy and plenty of pillows blankets etc. All up a great place in the perfect spot for us. Would happily rebook.

We stayed at Mercedes’ place for a week and had a fabulous time. Spacious and airy, perfectly clean with all mod cons. In particular, I loved the barbecuing station in the verdant garden. It’s in a great location - quiet but five minutes from the beach and bars, cafés, shops etc. Mercedes was super friendly and quick to respond to any queries etc. She left the flat full with everything you’d need on arrival - fruit, snacks, towels etc. - and all you’d need for a longer stay - washing powder, fairy liquid, olive oil, spices etc. In short, we had a great stay!

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.

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.

Fantastic stay in beautiful place with stunning views. Very close to great restaurants and cafes as well!

very flexible and easy check in/out. hosts were very responsive and location was great!

David was a very welcoming host. He proactively arranged for basic groceries like eggs and bread, which turned out to be super helpful, esp because we were traveling with a kid. Strawberries in the fridge were a life saver. There were also toys for our little one to play with - one of the toys kept our son busy and occupied ;). Super helpful host.

Stayed for a bit more than two weeks. The apartment is well equipped with everything you need. Contrary to the description, the bathroom is annexed to the main room so you do not have to exit to go to the bath. Laundry was also available, which was very helpful. Loki visited us often, which was very nice for us to have some company. 🙂 Would definitely come back anytime.

Lovely stay and perfect location in the Darlinghurst neighborhood. Thoughtfully furnished with cozy furniture and happy plants. Felt right at home. The city views were beautiful and the surrounding trees offered a lot of privacy and a peaceful vibe. It was easy to walk to cafes, restaurants, and iconic areas of the city. The beaches were a quick Uber away. Darryl was an excellent host, very communicative and helpful. Highly recommend!

An excellent location with stunning views. It meant that we could walk everywhere easily which was exactly what we wanted. Gail was extremely helpful with checkin which helped when we had just come from a very long flight!

Remarkably well provisioned. Beds were super comfy and the location is spot on. Very easy to get to the city or walking distance to Bondi beach. Great host!

Thank you so much your space was perfect and in a perfect location !

Great little apartment perfectly located within the hub of Manly. Lovely view from the balcony . Suited all my wife and my needs and wouldn’t hesitate to book again on another trip to Sydney as it is a much more relaxing location than the bustling CBD which is still easily accessible by the nearby Manly ferry service .

We had a lovely time at Rod and Lynsey’s place. All of the needs for young families was very well thought out from night lights to access to a huge trampoline and simple things like washing machine detergent and milk for breakfast after a late night arrival. They also offered tips to travel more easily into Sydney city and there bar area was a fun and relaxing retreat for parents. Thanks very much, we look forward to visiting at the same time next year!

This accommodation was perfect for what we needed it for. It didn’t quite match the pictures in terms of furniture etc but that didn’t put us off at all. John and his family were helpful and accommodating. Even letting us use their dryer when it rained. It was simply a base for us and the pool was an added bonus. It was a lot cheaper than other accommodation nearby which sold it to us and I am glad that it did. I think we will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future.

This is a great apartment to stay in. There is everything you neaded. I highly recoment this to stay in. You can walk to everything you nead and the rooftop is fantastic. Thanks Olli we had the best stay.

What a lovely stay we had, Gary made us feel welcomed right from the beginning. Exactly what we needed for a week in Sydney, close to Cherrybrook Metro Station to get into the city. The Brook Eatery at Cherrybrook shops is also lovely for something to eat. Will definitely stay again!
