Young hospitable female who keeps her home in immaculate condition...with that homely feel.
Happy to accommodate guests as much as they like or leave guests to their own devices to use the home as their own.
Previously worked as a tour guide so knows the best places to visit!
Pick up from airport can be privately arranged.
Home is shared with another 27 year old female.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. A very comfortable house with all you could need for a family holiday. Near to the freeway, and trains. We found it easy getting around in Sydney to visit friends. Our kids enjoyed having a room each, and a pool! I must say I really miss the king size bed, as we only have a queen size at home! Thanks Alison!
February 2012Alison's home is beautiful and it was even better than the pictures. She really does have everything you could want to enjoy your stay Including comfortable beds and lounges, a beautiful under cover BBQ area and the pool is perfect. Alison was great with communication prior, during and after the booking (after: to thank us and wish us the best) . She was an absolute pleasure to deal with and I would highly recommend both Alison and her beautiful home.
Alison was a great host and thanks for the trust to leave the whole house to us as you where in holiday. It was lovely and there was everything we needed. we surly come back when we return to Sydney...
The host canceled my reservation 217 days before arrival.
Alison and Julie welcomed me into their home with open arms and to spend my three months in Australia with them was a pleasure. I couldn't have asked for any more. I was made to feel part of the family and had lots of wonderful experiences with themselves and their friends. The house was beautiful and well kept and I was proud to call it my home for the time I was Australia. I look forward to keeping in contact with both of them and seeing them on my next trip.
Alison, was an outstanding host. She took us around for shopping on our arrive. She lives very close to the train system so you can get around Sydney and other outling areas. She was also avaialbe to take us to the airport for our departure.. Alison was avaiiable for any needs we might have had during our stay.
We had an amazing time with Ali and Jules over the 3 weeks we stayed, we miss them already and we definately hope to go back! The house is amazing and extremely homely and Ali and Jules went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and took us to the shops whenever we needed. We cant thank them enough for their hospitality. We only wish we could have taken layla and cooper with us!! :D
My stay in Sydney was made even more enjoyable by staying with Alison and Julie. It was a relaxed and secure environment in a beatiful neat tidy home in a quiet peaceful area close to public transport. Alison and Julie were perfect hosts and could not do enough to help in the way of local knowledge and even saved me the drama of getting to the airport by driving me. I thouroughly reccomend this accommodation. Both the home and the hosts are first class. Greg (W.A)
Alison's home is very beautiful and comfortable. We enjoyed for 4 nights and had a private time. Thank You!
Alison's home was our home away from home. It did'nt change our life style at all,we felt still at home but 900 kms away. Alison made us feel like part of her family and so did Julie.The place was very clean and highly recommended. I would like to thank Ali and Julie that went out of their way in late night hours to help me and my wife in our little emergency,great people. We also liked Layla and Cooper great dogs!!! Wonderful experience, great guys. Vic.
She is great and helping us out with our difficulty in Sydney. She is really helfpful and friendly. We are very please and felt very welcome. She always try to make us comfortable and easy to come to a different country. I definately recommended to stay at her place.
My husband Bernie and I recently spent time with Alison, and her place was perfect for us. It's roughly halfway between Sydney and the Blue Mountains, and we divided our time between both places. We originally planned to stay six days, but extended our stay to two two weeks. Alison was very accommodating, taking in Bernie when he arrived a day earlier than planned, and driving us and all our luggage to Blacktown station the morning we had to leave. We came and went as we pleased and felt very... More »
We stayed for just over a week with Alison and enjoyed every day at her house which is kept clean and tidy. We especially liked the friendly atmosphere which made us feel like part of her family and really at home, rather than the cold hotel experience. A definite winner, and we are particularly pleased to recommend at stay at 'Home and Away' to any traveller looking for a good place to be at home whilst they are away.
Alison really went the extra mile!Her guest needed to get to a nearby hospital on a daily basis and she offered transport and went out of her way to help and make him very welcome in Australia. Prior to confirming the reservation ,she was quick to respond with all kinds of information we required.She made it easy to come to a strange country with confidence with her accomodating and friendly manner. I would most certainly recommend everybody I know from South Africa going to Sydney to stop... More »
Amazing hosts!!
Alison's home was perfect for us. We felt at home and end up staying almost 3 weeks there. Ali and Jules were incredibly welcoming and terrific hosts. We had a great time with them. We loved the house and also the time we spent with Layla and Cooper (cute dogs)!!
Staying at Alison's place has been perfect; My girlfriend and I actually had reservations downtown at a YHA but decided to cancel them when I came in early and spent a few nights before she arrived. It was so much better than staying at a Hostel; it really felt like a home away from home. The distance was our first and only concern; but we've taken the train in and back with no problems for the last 2 weeks; Even coupled with a weekly train pass you won't find anything cheaper or of...

The pictures of the room do not do it justice. It was large, the king-sized bed was comfy, and the bathroom was spotless. Coupled with the complimentary internet and the fully appointed kitchen and it definitely exceeded the four-star hotels I ended up staying at when the rest of my delegation arrived in Australia. Alison and Jules made me so at home in Sydney. By the end of my short stay, I felt like I was staying with friends. And for those worried that the house might be a bit... More »
What a wonderful experience to stay with Alison. I came to Sydney with my two children aged 7 and 5. Both kids keep asking me when are we going back to Sydney and can we stay with Alison. We were made to feel completely at home. The room was great - large clean and bright! The main bathroom was for our use only. The kids spent many hours in the pool as it was particularly hot in Sydney during our visit. Alison even set up the Wii for her and my son to play Mario Cart together. Thanks... More »
I couldn't be more pleased with my stay. The price does not reflect what you get, that's for sure. I gladly would have paid more. The house was clean, the room and bed that I had were great. Unfortunately Alison was not home while I stayed there, but the fact that she let me stay there while she wasn't says a lot. It really felt like staying at home. I would definitely stay there again if I was in the area.
There is only one word to describe the stay...AWESOME.It was a wonderful experience staying with Alison.Complete independence and literally its home when away from home.Very convenient and friendly atmosphere.I will be coming back for sure. I was only going to stay for 1 week, however ended up staying for 3.
As soon as we arrived we felt at home. The room, bathroom and house was clean, cosy and comfortable. We had our 5 year old daughter with us and the girls made her feel safe and welcome. It was pretty much like visiting family, except that they didn't give us the grief that goes with family which is nothing like family really, it's better. They are super friendly and gave us our space. The girls also went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Thanks girls.
