Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balmain

amazing location/view and the place was well equipped. hosts were lovely, helpful, and responsive. would highly reccomend staying here!

There were 4 adults who stayed there. It was a fabulous condo and a great location. We enjoyed our time in Sydney. Steve was a great host.

I recently stayed at Brian's place at One Darling Apartement, and it was an incredible experience! Here are the highlights of my stay: Prime Location with Walkable Attractions The location is unbeatable! Nestled right in the heart of Sydney's vibrant Darling Harbour, it’s within walking distance to some of the city’s most iconic attractions. You can stroll over to the Sydney Aquarium, Australian National Maritime Museum, and Madame Tussauds in just minutes. Plus, the vibrant harborside precinct is lined with excellent restaurants, cafes, and entertainment venues, making it perfect for exploring day or night. Convenient Access to Transportation Transportation couldn’t be easier. Whether you prefer ferries, trains, buses, or even light rail, it’s all readily accessible. The nearby Pyrmont Bridge connects you to the city center, while ferry services from Darling Harbour provide a scenic route to Circular Quay or Manly. For longer journeys, Central Station is just a short trip away.

My wife was in Sydney for a conference at the ICC. The location was perfect. The stay was very comfortable. Geraldine responded immediately when I had questions about the check in. Access to the gym and pool made working out easy on this trip. I would rate my stay 10 out of 10. Would book again for sure.

Thank you Coco & Sheldon we enjoyed our stay at your air BnB, great location & it felt like a home away from home.

We loved the apartment. Great location, quiet, easily accessible and a stunning view from the balcony. Rooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. Extra bed in the living room. Tommy was super responsive and extremely helpful with our check out needs.

Susie is an exceptional Airbnb host who goes above and beyond. From the moment we arrived, she treated us like family, ensuring our comfort and happiness throughout our stay. Her warmth, attentiveness, and genuine kindness made our experience truly unforgettable. The accommodations were immaculate and thoughtfully arranged, reflecting Susie's dedication to providing a welcoming environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Susie to anyone seeking a wonderful Airbnb experience. Thank you, Susie, for your hospitality and for making our stay so special. Warm Regards Terry

What a fantastic house to stay in for our family holiday! This accommodation is in walkable distance from the centre of Newtown, many public transport services and is surrounded by great parking! This is a great stay for families as there’s so much around to do and there is more than enough room throughout the house. Phou was an amazing host & we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! Great communication whenever we needed to get in touch. Super responsive & quick! Highly recommended!! Will definitely be looking out for this house when we come back to Sydney next!! ❤️

She is an excellent host, she leave detailed instructions on everything. the house very clean and tidy. The train station 3 blocks is a very good benefit.

We enjoyed Catherine's place very much - it was the best location for us (close to family), clean, luminous, well maintained and thoughtfully furnished, with everything we needed for our 2-week vacation. Catherine's was extremely responsive and shr proactively checked on us to make sure we were happy and didn't need anything else. Warmly recommended.

We absolutely loved the accomodation. Excellent location, great walking area and lots of restaurants choices around. The hosts themselves were very warm and welcoming, great communication and very kind. The garden area was very beautiful and a peaceful place to sit and enjoy. Looking forward to return again . Thank you J&J

Lovely place to stay in a great area of Sydney - peaceful, tucked away and suited our needs perfectly. Chantal was a great host - very responsive and left great instructions and recommendations.

We arrived for Christmas. Danny had put up a nice Christmas tree which our children loved. The place was very nice, tidy tableware and very classy cutlery. The kitchen is stocked with basics (like baking paper, foil etc). The apartment is in a great location in regards to the beach, ocean pool and the coastal walking tracks. There are many restaurants to choose from although we did do quite alot of cooking.

Loved Dan’s place! A great base to explore Sydney. Would stay again

Patti’s place is a breezy little oasis. It is exactly as described, and has a lovely Bali vibe to it. It is built away from the street so is whisper quiet, which makes sitting in the outdoor area really peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked with all the utensils and cutlery you need. As others have said, we particularly liked that there were two bathrooms. Probably the only thing we would’ve loved is some aircon, at least in the common kitchen/living area, but otherwise the ceiling fans were definitely helpful and welcome on a hot weekend! Thanks so much, Patti & Maya!

Amber was responsive and polite in her interactions with me. Her place was clean and well laid out. My daughter and I had a comfortable stay ☺️

Gail may have been our best AirBnB host ever. Great communicator before and during our stay. She lives in the same building and was so quick to respond graciously to requests for info, replace a light bulb or repair a ceiling fan blade. Residence was exactly as depicted in photos, quiet building in a very convenient location - close to the Domain, easy access to grocer, local coffee or bakery. Would definitely stay in the unit again.

I spent 5 beautiful weeks in this apartment, which had an amazing view to the ocean (what I was looking for). You can see the sunrise from the balcony over the ocean. This little apartment was clean, and very comfortable to 1-2 people, with all the machine you would need, exactly matched with the photos and description. I only recommend this place, and I would definitely come back. Mirsad was a very friendly, flexible, helpful host and always replied very quickly to any message. Manly is just a gem in Sydney, you can instantly fell in love with it. There are so many things nearby (Coles, restaurants, pubs, shops, hairdressers, laundries in like 450m). It's very popular and living area. Getting to CBD is like 5 mins walking to the wharf and taking the deservedly and rightfully famous and spectacular Manly Ferry (22-25 mins). I think that ride to Circular Quay by ferry on its own is just breathtaking, is worth the visit anytime, everytime. This place is 10/10.

Lovely stay, very safe area, loved the access to the pool! Bed super comfortable…all in all a great stay and Victoria was very communicative with any tips or questions! Would stay again!

There was a lot great about this place. The area is fantastic, the apartment was just as listed (apart from the pool being out of action - but this was communicated promptly and, kindly, a small discount was offered), and Nava and Max are attentive, friendly and professional hosts. The gym in the building was an added bonus to help with the early morning jetlag periods. The only negatives I have are that the lock box was a little far from the building. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not ages away, but I had very large luggage and no car, and in summer heat fresh off the plane from the UK it was a bit of a sweaty slog. Also, while the apartment was fabulous, the building itself was a little raggedy (in parts). For example the carpet outside the elevator was rippled, and the foyer was littered with Amazon and postal packages at all times. These small issues, however, do not detract from the apartment itself, which was a fantastic place to stay. Would definitely recommend and stay again.

I booked for my brother in law and his family and the hosts were very supportive and friendly. My brother in law and his wife and kids had enjoyed the place and the swimming pools. it had all the amenities they needed and the hosts have been very responsive and friendly.

We had a great time staying at this place for our short trip to Sydney. Julie was very responsive and provided all the amenities we could possibly need. It’s a great location and we would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay at the apartment and were very pleased with the accommodations. Well described and exceeded our expectations! We appreciated the responsiveness with all inquiries. Highly recommended and we hope to return.

This is a very comfortable apartment with all the amenities as advertised. Especially great is the roof just two floors above with incredible views over the city and harbour with very useful laundry facilities and swimming pool. Ollie is a great host, welcoming and helpful with anything you need. It's a brilliant location, a pleasant neighbourhood full of character close to the centre.
