Family-friendly vacation rentals in Ryde City Council

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this property, which no photo does justice to just how stunning the view of the water is from not one but two decks. A two minute walk to wonderful shopping outlets, cafe’s, dog parks, gyms, salons, everything you need. The host is highly responsive, fair and accommodating. The quiet leafy neighbourhood filled with frangipani’s next to the water is beautiful, with a private area to have a sunny cool spa outdoors or a warm spa of an evening. The bbq placed right where you can see the water is a lovely touch for cooking outdoors with a view. I had everything I needed the moment I arrived which makes life so much easier. I can’t thank the host enough for my stay. This place is truly a gem. Thank you so much!

Great place and very clean - everything very accessible

Such a beautiful little cottage with some really lovely finishing touches. I loved the outdoor bath! The traffic noise wasn’t even noticeable, but I’m not a light sleeper. Bed was super comfy. Chantelle is very friendly, responsive and helpful. I really enjoyed my stay.

Sally responded quickly and kindly, making the reservation process and scheduling adjustments smooth and hassle-free. Although I arrived earlier than planned, she graciously allowed me to check in. Her father personally came by and warmly introduced nearby amenities and places worth visiting. Their kindness and hospitality left a truly heartwarming impression. Thanks to you, I had such a great time in Australia. I’ll never forget it. Thanks again!

Great location for access to darling harbour the city and ferries. A perfect position for any visit to Sydney. Would definitely stay there again.

Superb apartment in a very convenient location - close to shops and transport links. Easy to get into Sidney centre. Balmain is a delightful suburb full of interesting shops and facilities. Yes there are steps but so worth the views across the city. Thoroughly recommend and would happily return.

Staying in Zak's little suite has been absolutely fabulous. You can really feel that Zak takes pride in his place, and he did everything to share it with us so that we could enjoy it just as much. Thank you for that! The suite is decorated with a very personal touch, which is such a wonderful contrast to a sterile hotel suite. You have an exciting sense of style, Zak! We thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful rooftop pool, sauna, and spa area—simply fantastic to take a dip while soaking in that breathtaking view.

Awesome location with some amazing restaurants in walking distance, great cafes and cofee shops!

Perfect space for our few days in Sydney. Bed was super comfy and great having a park across the road if you’re travelling with a dog.

We just stayed 5 nights with Justin and John and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice of Airbnb. It’s in a lovely street and suburb - with lots of interesting buildings. Easy access to public transport. You can see the water from the back garden. Very generous hosts who left all the essentials plus lots of treats. The studio is clean and comfortable with oodles of charm. Justin and John were very kind and helpful with suggestions, recommendations and offers of assistance. We hope to return for another holiday.

We just loved staying at Dan’s. Close to train station to everywhere and bus 339 towards Bondi. Uber easy and not to expensive elsewhere

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.

Loved our stay here! The house was welcoming, lots of natural light, well equipped and nice and clean. Great modern bathroom. The street is nice and quiet and it was always pretty easy to find a car park nearby if not right out the front. Only a few minutes walk to the main streets and close to Woolworths and some good cafes. Our kids loved the park right across the street. Roslyn was a great host, she gave clear instructions and was very responsive.

Great location. Though worth noting that entry is not 95 Australia Street. Very dog friendly area.

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.

Wow, wow, wow! What a superb Airbnb. The location is perfect - so much to see and do within walking distance and lovely big park direcetly opposite the house. Could walk to many restaurants, cafes, supermarket easily and only 10 minutes into the city centre on public transport. The house is stylishly designed with lots of artwork and a peaceful garden - super comfy bed, clean and quiet. I could not have asked for more. Highly recommend.

We had a fantastic week at Gail’s apartment - it is super comfortable; very relaxing and walkable to all things Sydney. Gail was very easy to communicate with whenever needed and helped with lots of dining ideas. Thx Gail for adding to our special week. We will definitely return

The perfect place to stay for our first few nights in Sydney - easily commutable from the airport and close to everything in the city centre. Super comfy bed too! Would absolutely stay again.

Very convenient and comfortable place for a city visit! Great location - opposite Woolworth, lots of shops and restaurants in the neighborhood. King’s Cross is close by. I walked ca 30 minutes to the Opera House. I can highly recommend!

Tim’s place was cosy and comfortable. Location was just right with just the right amount of privacy and cafes / restaurants / grocery shopping closeby. Tim was prompt with his responses and accommodating to special requests. The check-in / out arrangement was seamless. Thanks for a lovely stay !

Really enjoyed staying in this property. Great complex, great location. Simple and comfortable with all you need provided. Would definitely stay here again.

Stylish apartment with amazing taste, stunning balcony. Great location in Surrey Hills (trendy, with bars and restaurants), but also close to CBD (with Circular Quay, The Rocks). Co-host Vicky very responsive and always helpful. Thanks!

My wife and I stayed a week, and really enjoyed the stay. The house works well for a couple. We especially enjoyed the open living room, kitchen and dining room. The deck was wonderful too. The area was quiet at night as well. The view is fabulous and is the house's best feature. Even on a rainy day it's still lovely to stay inside, drink some coffee and read (as well as take in that view). We enjoyed walks around the Potts Point neighborhood, and it's a nice walk to the Wooloomooloo Wharf, RBG, the Art Gallery, and the Opera House/Circular Quay. There are a couple of fans, but during the mid-summer months heat might be an issue. During our stay the temperatures were moderate, and just opening the windows to catch the breeze made the house comfortable. The host was first-rate: attentive, friendly, and responsive. Thanks.

My son and I stayed at Ollie's place for 2 nights. We arrived earlier than Ollie expected and I was distracted and forgot to send him a message after getting thru customs, but he was very kind and buzzed us up to his apartment and allowed us to drop off our bags before check in and we were able to enjoy Sydney! Ollie's place is just as described, clean and comfortable and so many extra amenities provided! Bread, butter, jam and eggs to start off the day! Some drinks in the fridge, coffee & tea as well. Shampoo, body wash & blow dryer available in the bathroom. My son and I tried a couple of the restaurants/coffee shops that Ollie suggested in his very informative notebook. The Rusty Rabbit within walking distance and The E Cafe right next door. Both were great , my son really enjoyed his steak and egg breakfast at the Rusty Rabbit! We walked to many sights(parks, museums, etc) and caught an uber when needed. I highly recommend Ollies place, he is definitely a "Super Host"!
