Cottage vacation rentals in Sydney

Judith & Mark, Thank you so much for a weekend of bliss in the bush, it’s just what we needed. It’s not surprising you’re one of the top-rated stays on Airbnb. The care and thoughtfulness that has gone into this property has not gone unnoticed. Everywhere is spotless, the windows are so clean and clear you wouldn’t even realise they’re there! It really helps to ensure you feel at one with nature. The shack is equipped with everything we needed to have a comfortable stay. The spa was a big highlight for us. It’s very rewarding to hop in and soak in the sounds of nature once you’ve got it to the right temperature. We hope to come back one day!

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.

This stay is by far one of the best Air B&B stays I’ve ever had. Went for a peaceful getaway and it was perfect. Andy was the most attentive host and his property was beyond beautiful and pristine. How he keeps the entire 3 acres this perfect is beyond me. The location, on the edge of a huge gorge had the best views ever! We enjoyed his stunning rock pool that looked like it was cut straight out of the natural, huge rock formations in the area. We ate outside almost every night in the beautiful garden area. Even made a small bonfire and just enjoyed the night. I cannot recommend Andy’s cottages more. We will for sure be back soon!

I just got back from an amazing stay at this Airbnb, and I can’t stop thinking about how perfect it was! Right from the start, I was impressed by how clean and well maintained everything was. You could tell that the hosts put a lot of love and care into the place. One of my favorite moments was gathering around the fire pit at night. There’s something magical about roasting marshmallows and making s’mores while sharing stories with friends under the stars. It was such a cozy and memorable experience! During the day, I loved lounging on the deck, soaking up the sun and just enjoying the peaceful vibes. The surrounding nature is stunning. I took advantage of the nearby Blue Mountain hiking trails, and wow, they did not disappoint! The views were breathtaking, and I can’t recommend checking out Hanging Rock and Lawson Waterfalls enough absolutely gorgeous! And if you’re into tennis, the courts up the road were a great bonus.

Beautiful cottage. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms so plenty room for a family or two. Very well equiped kitchen, big fridge and freezer, nice dinning nook with a lovely outlook to the flowering and season change colour trees and garden. Comfortable lounge with fire place. Ducted heating worked well. Comfortable beds with extra blankets and pillows. Shower has great water pressure and hot water. overall clean and comfortable very cute cottage.

The house was perfect for our girls weekend doing the coastal cliff walk in the park. It’s a few minutes walk to the IGA and all the restaurants and beaches and also a few minutes walk to the start of the hike. The place was perfect for us with comfy beds, plenty of kitchen supplies and outdoor and indoor spaces that were easy to hang out in. The back yard is way bigger than it looks in the photos and we enjoyed a little fire and wine for our late night chats. Highly recommend this place.

A lovely location and Barbara was very quick to respond and everything was as described. Would return!

We had a relaxing stay at Stephanie’s cottage. The place was perfect for a long weekend away and location is stunning. Stephanie was a great host and our teenagers particularly loved feeding and being led on a pony ride. We enjoyed fishing, walking our dog off lead at local reserves and picking apples at Bilpin. Thanks Stephanie!

Great little place, dog friendly and the 4 legged pup loved 🥰

This is a lovely house is a beautiful setting. The house is clean and comfortable and very homely with lots of interesting things to read, games and music. We felt very relaxed and at home

Marnie saved us at the last minute when looking for accommodation. Her place was clean, brand new comfortable and so quiet. we found the secret stair case down to horderns beach which made the walk to the beach and ferry shops quick. thanks for everything marnie!!

Very few places exceed my expectations, the Mud Brick Hut was one of them. I was looking for something private ✅ quirky ✅ with a fire ✅and bath ✅. You feel like you are a million miles away, where in fact. 15 minute drive has you in Nth Richmond. It was raining, we loved the space so much we didn’t want to leave. We spent hours around the fire playing guitar, and then raided the games and spent an afternoon playing chess! Fiona’s place. Is rustic and full of charm and stories. The upstairs loft space is huge- with comfy bed and quality linens. Fiona is super nice, helpful and just lovely host . The little town of Grose Vale is cute and I would love to explore more one day. I definitely would recommend The Mud Hut. Thankyou Fiona!

This was our second time staying at this wonderful Airbnb, and once again, we had a fantastic experience! Our family loved the short, flat walk to the beach and arboretum — it’s perfect for easy trips back and forth. Our 4-year-old daughter was thrilled with the selection of toys, books, and arts and crafts, which kept her entertained for hours. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. Communication with our host, Suzi, was both professional and friendly, making the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at Alex and David’s cottage. The view from the garden was just beautiful and there were so many thoughtfully considered details to make our stay comfortable. We enjoyed breakfast on the verandah, bird watching in the garden and sitting around the cosy fireplace in the evening. Kitchen was very well stocked with all the essentials plus some. A home away from home. Really lovely welcoming hosts who were on hand if needed and had great tips for the area.

Loved this place! It’s just like in the photos, location was good and the house was very clean. Easy check in check out time.

We had a fantastic stay here. Deborah was the perfect host. The home is actually bigger than it appears in the photos. It was spacious, immaculate and had everything we could have needed. The location is great with a short walk to the Grumpy Baker for delicious pastries and coffee. We also had a wonderful dinner at Melange Restaurant just across the road from the bakery. Being able to walk down the road to Eden Equine to feed the animals was an absolute highlight. Our daughter was made to feel very special by Kaitlin there and the experience was so much more than we had expected. A must do! Would highly recommend this Airbnb and would definitely return next time we show friends Bilpin and surrounds.

The owners were lovely and very accomodating. Great little place to stay on our way through to the blue mountains.

We had a very peaceful and relaxing stay at Claire's place. She is very friendly and extremely helpful / thoughtful. Amazing host! We had all basic amenities. Enough blankets for the night. Great entertainment set for TV and music, books and games etc. Outdoor seating area was also plenty for a small family. It is also very peaceful and green with a small garden. The bathroom was neat and clean. Enough toilteries too. Lot of activities to do like Bouddi national park, the entrance, tuggerah lake, Amazement farm and fun park, cruises, etc. very quiet neighbourhood where you can connect with nature unlike the city life. We enjoyed walking and watching different native birds. We had a pleasant stay and a memorable holiday. Highly recommended!

A wonderful stay at this beautiful water access cottage. The cottage is beautifully furnished in wonderful surroundings on the water. Daniella provided very clear instructions and additional information to help make the most of the stay. We’d highly recommend getting a tinnie for your stay, to explore the waterways. And a visit to Peats Bite is unforgettable.

A beautiful spot for exploring the local area, well kitted out and comfortable for 3 people! Jo was a friendly and welcoming host, giving us local recommendations and sharing the history of this beautiful home. Thanks, Jo!
