Family-friendly vacation rentals in The Hills Shire Council

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this property, which no photo does justice to just how stunning the view of the water is from not one but two decks. A two minute walk to wonderful shopping outlets, cafe’s, dog parks, gyms, salons, everything you need. The host is highly responsive, fair and accommodating. The quiet leafy neighbourhood filled with frangipani’s next to the water is beautiful, with a private area to have a sunny cool spa outdoors or a warm spa of an evening. The bbq placed right where you can see the water is a lovely touch for cooking outdoors with a view. I had everything I needed the moment I arrived which makes life so much easier. I can’t thank the host enough for my stay. This place is truly a gem. Thank you so much!

Chantelle’s cottage is such a lovely place to stay! It’s cosy, tranquil and all the little touches make it feel so welcoming and homely. She’s a wonderful host, and our kids especially love feeding the fish and chickens! This was our second visit, and we will be back again soon. Thank you for a great stay!

Superb apartment in a very convenient location - close to shops and transport links. Easy to get into Sidney centre. Balmain is a delightful suburb full of interesting shops and facilities. Yes there are steps but so worth the views across the city. Thoroughly recommend and would happily return.

Had such a wonderful and much needed restorative weekend in this beautiful pocket of the world! Would love to call it home. Perfect way to switch off. Elizabeth was an excellent communicator and provided plenty of information. Nothing was too difficult for Col and he was also able to help us get around and the like. Much appreciated!

Great place to stay. The area is quiet and the unit had everything you would need to make the stay comfortable. Just note, the shower has a step to enter which may be difficult for individuals with mobility issues.

Came with my husband, baby, both sets of grandparents, and two friends for my baby’s baptism and it was perfect place to be as a group. Lovely spaces inside and outside. Fire place outside was a favourite for us. Would 100% recommend and rebook. We did arrive to find a trampoline in the living room, which would have been great for kids, but Shara moved it within 15mins when we mentioned it wasn’t ideal for our party. Shara was flexible with timings of check in, and when I wasn’t getting her texts with checkin details she promptly came to the house to check we were sorted and talk through everything. Great host, great house. Would not be ideal for people who don’t like cats/have allergies, but great for those who enjoy a furry friend.

Lovely place to stay, peaceful area. House was clean and well-kept and everything we needed was provided. Thank you, Nick, for being a great host!

Eva is the perfect host. The Pool Annexe was so comfy and easy. Unfortunately we didn't use the pool due to the rain. Eva was most accommodating with our 2 small dogs. The garden area for them was so appreciated. Check in was a breeze, parking was easy. Close to shops and the train was so convenient. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend Eva anytime.

It’s a great place for relaxing with friends, where is not far from city ,very quiet and peaceful. We very enjoyed the wood fire in the yard and also walked down along greens Rd ,drove around mountains roads and met cute animals.

St Albans is a beautiful place. The Blue Barn has a great outlook onto the Macdonald Rover Valley. We really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the location 2.4km out of town. a great place. People just need to be aware that the town of St Albans has limited infrastructure. The local pub, is an old Australian classic and the coffee at the Pickled Wombat is quite good. However, the quiet location is why you go to St Albans!

great cosy place if you need a place to stay in the area. was clean and simple. host was gracious enough to let us know we forgot a wallet and accommodated us in returning it. thanks!

David was a very welcoming host. He proactively arranged for basic groceries like eggs and bread, which turned out to be super helpful, esp because we were traveling with a kid. Strawberries in the fridge were a life saver. There were also toys for our little one to play with - one of the toys kept our son busy and occupied ;). Super helpful host.

Thank you Phou for a fantastic stay in such a great location, & we also appreciated the food & coffee you left for us, everything was so well stocked. This was a lovely surprise.

Loved our stay here! The house was welcoming, lots of natural light, well equipped and nice and clean. Great modern bathroom. The street is nice and quiet and it was always pretty easy to find a car park nearby if not right out the front. Only a few minutes walk to the main streets and close to Woolworths and some good cafes. Our kids loved the park right across the street. Roslyn was a great host, she gave clear instructions and was very responsive.

Our stay in the studio was amazing! Susan was great at responding to my questions, helpful, friendly and very accomodating. The studio is exactly as described. A big comfy bed, great sized shower and fridge. We loved the outdoor space and spent a lot of time there playing cards and talking. It was private and very well furnished with dinners and a lounge. We had an amazing stay and we will definitely come back to this gorgeous little studio.

I love coming back here - I always know it will be clean and the hosts are very receptive to any requests. It's a terrific location and worth the money

I recently had a wonderful stay in Joanathns apartment at Rockdale, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The check-in and check-out process was seamless and hassle-free, making the whole stay even more enjoyable. The location is perfect, just a short walk from the railway station, making it easy to get around. There are also plenty of restaurants and cafés nearby, offering a variety of great dining options. The apartment itself was clean, well-maintained, and fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a long day. Overall, it was a fun and stress-free experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Rockdale.

An oasis in the inner-west! Everything in the apartment is thoughtfully curated for an enjoyable and relaxing stay. It is spacious, modern and well located in relation to the city, beaches and airport (everything being 30 mins or less drive or via public transport). Our family stayed for a few weeks and enjoyed many sunset games on the tennis courts, lazing by the pool, and the expansive, manicured gardens. The hosts and their charming dog, were so lovely and made our stay a true pleasure.

We had a lovely time at Rod and Lynsey’s place. All of the needs for young families was very well thought out from night lights to access to a huge trampoline and simple things like washing machine detergent and milk for breakfast after a late night arrival. They also offered tips to travel more easily into Sydney city and there bar area was a fun and relaxing retreat for parents. Thanks very much, we look forward to visiting at the same time next year!

This accommodation was perfect for what we needed it for. It didn’t quite match the pictures in terms of furniture etc but that didn’t put us off at all. John and his family were helpful and accommodating. Even letting us use their dryer when it rained. It was simply a base for us and the pool was an added bonus. It was a lot cheaper than other accommodation nearby which sold it to us and I am glad that it did. I think we will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future.

We stayed at Peter & Lorena’s home for just under 7 weeks while our own home was getting renovated. Location - super quiet street. Good local cafes, supermarkets and playgrounds. House - warm, comfortable and cozy. Felt like home immediately. The kitchen has all the facilities you would require. The pool was fantastic. The beds were comfortable Bathrooms were clean and well maintained. There was a toy room that was so kindly shared with my kids also. Lots Of toys, board games, puzzles etc Blackout blinds in all the bedrooms. 2 car spots tandem and the front yard was a perfect size for the kids to play in! Hosts - fantastic hosts. Always very responsive to any question I had, and I had many! We had a great stay and if we ever need to, we would not hesitate to book Lorena and Peter’s house again. Thank you for having us. It was such a pleasure

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious with two ample sized bedrooms. The place was warm and cozy as there was heating coming though during the day and night. All the facilities that you require in the kitchen were there. Very quiet location. For me I loved the apartment because it had the full package of Foxtel which had domestic, international and sports news. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

Lovely place to stay and very close to all restaurants and beach within walking distance. Kay was very responsive and helpful with clear instructions. 100% recommended staying here whether it is a short or long stay!

We loved staying at Shauna's place in Spencer. A lovely secluded house and cabin in Breakfast creek. the house is expansive and cosy with plentiful amenities. We loved feeding and petting the beautiful horses as well - Molly was definitely the most inquisitive ❤️
