Spectacular waterfront with private jetty

WilliamRating, 5 stars3 days ago
David’s house at Woy Woy is an absolute lakeside haven. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful setting and stunning views. The home is beautifully presented—clean, stylish, and fully equipped with everything you could need. But the real highlight is the backyard that opens right onto the lake, complete with a private jetty. We spent hours fishing, watching the wildlife, and enjoying morning coffees and sunset drinks with a view that’s hard to beat. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and reconnect with nature. The neighborhood is quiet and relaxing, yet still close to shops and cafes. David was a fantastic host—responsive, welcoming, and full of great local tips. Whether you're after a peaceful retreat, or a base to explore the Central Coast, this place ticks every box. We didn’t want to leave and are already planning our return. Highly recommended!

The Foreshore at Koolewong

AnnaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We arrived late and a bit struggle to open the gate and enter code to front door. After all it was a great experience. Everybody enjoyed including our loving pet. It would be lovely experience to have our elderly parents together and it's a lovely community. Railway is behind and could be noisy at night. Towels may need to be replaced by some fresher ones or bring your own. One shower head may need a replacement.

Waterfront Apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac

ScottRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Manly Beach Hideaway

DanielRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Great place to stay in Manly. Nick was so helpful from the beginning, allowing us to use his parking permit before check-in, which is amazing to use in Manly. The house was very presentable, clean and tidy with everything you need for a two night stay. Nick offered us an early check-in and a late check out which makes a huge difference to a long weekend holiday. Would definitely stay here again if we are back that way. Highly recommend!!!
