Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lower North Shore

Beautiful spacious house-with everything you need for comfort and relaxation. The gardens and hillside setting are just magnificent. Loved the birds and all the outdoor spaces.

Absolutely loved loved loved our stay!! Everything was beautiful and the location was 10/10!! Couldn’t recommend it enough

Eric’s place was spacious for our family of 16! More than adequate number of beds. Loved the kitchen x2 and we had a great time cooking and feasting. Kitchen appliances are very well equipped. Living area although not large enough to accommodate all 16 of us, but we just brought some chairs over from the dinning room. Suggestion: maybe a heater at the dinning area, that would be perfect. We had a lovely time at Eric’s place! Would definitely recommend if you are travelling in a large group!

Honestly, this place was something else. Tucked away in the forest, super peaceful, and absolutely stunning. The castle vibe is real with its quirky, old-world charm, but it’s also really comfortable and spacious enough for a big group. We spent most of our time relaxing by the pool, surrounded by the sound of the trees, or just hanging out in the large living areas. Waking up to the sound of birds and the view of greenery all around felt like a total escape from the city, even though it’s actually not far from some great cafes and bushwalks. The host was lovely and made everything really easy. The place had everything we needed. It was clean, cozy, and such a memorable stay. Would absolutely come back. A hidden gem close to Sydney.

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.

Our family of 9 adults and 2 littlies stayed at Ahara house for a long weekend getaway! Was like a wellness retreat! Sauna & plunge pool were well used! Beautiful area to walk in, playground close by for toddler….Ineka gave plenty of great recommendations for walks & eating spots! Living area perfect for family gatherings & board games played into the wee morning hours!! We had a wonderful time! Thank you!

We booked Jenny's place back in January when we were planning our 5-week stay in Australia. We booked this Airbnb based on reviews, and the post on the website, but knew little to nothing about the location, and where it was in relation to the city. We more than lucked out as the apartment more than lived up to expectations, as did the location - close enough to the bustling King St, with bars and restaurants aplenty, close enough to local transport links to get you wherever we needed, but also really quietly placed near Hollis Park. As a host Jenny was brilliant from day one, communicating throughout and responsive to our needs, if we had an issue, not that we had many because she was so well organised from the start. We've done quite a few Airbnb's now and this ranks very close to the top of the tree, because it mixes great hosting with a great property and a great location. Thank you Jenny for a great thirteen days!

Wonderful stay! Katerina was an outstanding host. The house is lovely and very well appointed. We had everything we needed. Super comfortable beds and perfect outdoor entertainment deck. I was travelling with my 2 fur babies and they loved the dog friendly parks. I was very impressed with how well connected the house was to the city. Only 6 mins on the train to the CBD. We will definitely be back. Thank you again

Beautiful apartment with panoramic views of shell cove and beyond. The garden in front of the building offers a peaceful and private waters edge perspective of Sydney harbour. We were lucky to be there during vivid and could see fireworks on the harbour while sitting at the dinner table. The apartment is cosy and comfortable with a traditional charm to the architecture. Lovely stay.

a truely rare gem of a listing, 100% worth a stay

Suzanna was such a lovely host. Was always responsive and accomodating. Felt right at home. Thank you for the amazing stay!

We loved our stay at Elise’s place . The unit was spacious , clean , close to the beach and restaurants . We took our dog which was amazing as Elise’s place has a private grass area he could run around and play . We will definitely be back

Absolutely gorgeous apartment in an ideal location - walkable to everything buzzy in Bondi or the smaller more peaceful beaches in the other direction (Tama, Bronte, etc). Perfect location a short walk from Tamarama beach and the VIEW!!! Apartment is lovely and modern inside, very comfortable and feels very private. Victoria was an incredible host and managed to arrange an early check in and late check out when she found out my flight times. Would absolutely stay again!

This was our favourite stay on our 3 months of touring the east coast. Beautiful location situated a short walk from the harbour bridge, local cafes and restaurants. The host was super responsive and there were lots of thoughtful little touches such as a small bag of sugar free treats, sparkling waters and loads of spare supplies for consumables tucked around the house. Our family felt very at home in this place and wouldn’t hesitate a return visit. Perfect location and short walk if you are visiting the harbour or doing the bridge walk.

Great hosts. Lovely apartment in a wonderful location, directly across from beach and easy access to public transport and conveniences. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay or even a bit longer.

Great place for a weekend in Killcare! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was clean, modern and had everything we could need for a lovely stay!

This place is magical. We returned a second year in a row and this time was even better. If you want to get off the grid and forget Covid, masks and all the stresses of life, the Villa doesn’t disappoint!

We had such a great stay! The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk to the beach and you can watch sunrise over the ocean in bed :) The house was so comfortable and stylish, lots of art deco character. We would 100% stay again!

What a beautiful, peaceful place that had all the necessary amenities a 2 min walk from the spectacular pearl beach. It was perfect & Carla and Chloe were great hosts and were very generous to give us a late check out on Sunday. The spa is pretty special although a bit finicky if you don’t know how to use it - thankfully our hosts were very responsive in helping with this. My only note is to maybe make sure if you need more linen/towels than what they provide for the 4 doubles and one single bed (9 people). We booked the house for 11 (there is a room with fold out couches) but those 2 guests didn’t get towels or linen. Final thing is the property has close neighbours so there are a lot of rules to do with noise etc. This makes sense as I assume the hosts have been burned before and must protect their relationship with the local community but if you want somewhere you can feel free to sing your heart out around the fire pit until the wee hours go elsewhere. Thanks for everything!

We stayed at Nicola’s place for five nights and we had the best time. The area is so peaceful and beautiful and it was the absolute best kitted out Airbnb. Everything we could have wanted was provided. We made use of all the beach gear everyday - snorkels, paddle boards, fishing rods you name it! It was also easy to feed 9 of us as the kitchen and bbq area was so well set up. It was also terrific for the kids as there were so many games and activities for them to do thanks to Nicole and David. We will definitely be back and recommending this gem to our friends and family.

A wonderful spot for our extended family getaway in beautiful Pearl Beach. The Pavilions is 5 stars all the way - beautiful location, super comfortable, squeaky clean and everything you need at your fingertips, including a brilliant kitchen for cooking and entertaining. We lazed by the open fire by night, and spent our days lying in the winter sun on the deck and north facing backyard. It’s a short stroll to the beach and many other beautiful walking spots and scenic vantage points too. Highly recommend.
