1BRM Apt with Spectacular City Skyline Views
fantastic location close to public transport and very peaceful and private even though outside was always busy

Sydney Darling Harbour Sydney Views
Best Sydney Accommodation we have stayed! Amazing views, close to everything we needed and the indoor pool, spa and sauna was perfect for the cooler autumn weather! Will definitely be booking again for our next trip to Sydney! Thanks to Kevin for a wonderful stay!

Luxury Woolloomooloo waterfront
Narelle is a wonderful host and gave great instructions. The apartment is beautiful and in the most amazing location.

Waterfront Luxe @Wentworth Point
We loved staying at Yo-Yo’s place! What a great apartment and view. It was very clean and spacious for our family of five. Easy to get to and an easy walk to the shopping complex. Easy walk also to catch the ferry into the city! Highly recommend

Luxury Beachfront apartment on North Steyne
We had a wonderful experience staying in Manly for our baby moon. Zoe was very helpful and responsive. They even put in a chest freezer into the garage to help us needing to freeze items. The place was immaculate with a beautiful renovation with high quality fixtures and furniture, in a simply amazing location. Highly recommend this Airbnb! Thank you ☺️

Waterfront 2B2B Apt/Free Parking Near Olympic Park
Very nice place, beautiful view. Sofia is nice and respond quickly.

Harbour Magic - Footsteps to the Beach and Ferry
A wonderful apartment to explore Manly with family visiting from the UK. Malia was extremely helpful with any questions we had and check in was easy. The apartment has all you need for a comfortable stay. A perfect spot for a coffee or wine on the balcony to watch the ferries roll in. Thank you again!

Beachfront Gem with Stunning Ocean Views
Unreal pad. Prime location. Super comfortable bed. Great bathroom. All codes so you don’t need keys which I found exceptionally easy. Great kitchen and living area.
Waterfront house rentals

A waterfront retreat with jetty (& pet friendly!)
Accomodation was very clean. The house was well equipped for all of our guests. The views and house looked just like the pictures.

Modern | Waterfront | Kayaks | Private Jetty
We had a lovely stay at Tasman's house. The house was thoughtfully prepared and the children enjoyed all the comforts provided!

Waterfront Playground
Beautiful property- super tranquil and right on the water. We hired a boat which we docked at the property and did fishing off the jetty. 10/10 would recommend, had the best time ever. Just remember to bring the mozzie spray!

"SUNDECK" Waterfront HAWKESBURY, COWAN, PITTWATER
I highly recommend the "SUNDECK" Waterfront for anyone looking to enjoy the natural beauty and serenity of Little Wobby.

The Oyster Shack - A rustic waterfront bungalow
We had a wonderful stay — the perfect getaway from the city. The place is surrounded by nature, full of peace and quiet, and absolutely beautiful. The photos truly don’t do it justice! Everything is well taken care of, clean, and thoughtfully designed with lovely details. There are also plenty of water activities to enjoy, which made the experience even more fun and memorable. You can really feel the love that went into creating this space. It helped us disconnect, recharge, and truly relax.

Spectacular waterfront with private jetty
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!

Maianbar Beach Front Bay House
The house is new, with beautiful kitchen, balconies and bedrooms with views of the sea. Sheridan towels, coffee capsules and a bottle of wine. Very good!!!

The Foreshore at Koolewong
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.

Ocean Vista apartment with direct beach access; 11
The location, the view and the sound of the ocean waves made our stay in this apartment a wonderful experience! We had no trouble communicating with our hosts, who were nice and helpful! We can only recommend the apartment for future guests.

Harbour Views Luxury Apartment
Great spot. Very spacious and hosts were very communicative and responsive.

Modern apt in Central Sydney: Harbour Views & Pool
This Airbnb is a perfect location for seeing Sydney. You can connect to any part of the city from the bus stop adjacent to the rental. The rental itself was great - everything was clean and the rental was well equipped with everything needed for a week's stay.

Waterfront Apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac
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.

Stunning Bondi Beach Ocean View full apartment
Amazing view, great location for walking to shops/ beach/ Brontë walk. We just loved our stay. Apartment was super clean.

Waterview Retreat: Free Parking & Near the Mall
Great stay with access from the warf and bus stops. Host was very responsive and made sure everything was right. Loved the proximity to several great eats and a grocery store. Will definitely be my first pick for the next stay.

Lux Home. Harbour Views & Parking. 3Bed2BathOption
Had a great stay at Elisa's flat. Great location for getting around Sydney and easy walk to the ferry which is spectacular trip to Circular Quay in only a few minutes. View from the balcony is amazing. The flat was really well presented and clean. Would recommend this flat to anyone looking for a base spot to visit Sydney.

Manly Beach Hideaway
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!!!
