I stayed at Michael's unit on Bondi Beach. The stay went without a problem. The location overlooked the beach and the units decor had a colorful beach feel. I could not have felt more at home. I hope the unit is available next time I visit Sydney

Breathtaking Sydney Harbour View! @StaySydney

MeganRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This place is PHENOMENAL! Seriously the view is even better in person and it was such a highlight to sit and watch the beautiful city. This spot is just over the harbour bridge from the city and it’s a quick walk, ferry or cab into the city, which was so easy. It’s also close to Luna park and so many amazing restaurants. This place really is one of a kind, would recommend and would stay again if I’m ever back in Sydney

"Seacliff" - Cliff Top Beach House

WendyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This house is absolutely stunning, you will not want to leave. The view is spectacular, the inside was cosy and spacious, it looked like it was straight out of a magazine and perfect for a weekend to hang with friends. We will be back because we loved it so much! Thanks for being great hosts! We were lucky enough to get an early check-in and late check-out, which we appreciated greatly!

Treetop Water View Sanctuary

JohnRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Kate's place was exactly like the photos and a great location for what we wanted to do whilst in that region, not to mention the awesome view from the balcony! The only constructive (not negative) feedback was that we took our 4 month old German Shepherd puppy with us and didn't have any actual yard for the dog to roam around, or to do it's business, so were out and about walking the streets at all hours of the night to accommodate our dog requirements. Overall we loved Kate and her home but in regards to being pet friendly, perhaps not an active puppy dog. :-). We will certainly stay at Kates place again, just not with the dog. Thanks Kate!!

Bundeena Beachside Oasis

CarlRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Family of 5 + 2 furry ones stayed for a long weekend. Beautiful location and uninterrupted views across the water, was nice just to stay in and enjoy the ambience. However we did venture out and it was so well positioned, close to town, walking tracks, beaches but still quiet and peaceful. Only noise to be heard is the crashing of the waves! Would recommend and stay again.

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.

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.
