Sandstone Cottage, Great Mackerel Beach
This place is really special and peaceful. The views are incredible, the house is set up really nicely with everything you could need for a family: games for kids, SUPs and kayaks, and all cooking equipment. Couldn’t recommend highee

Modern | Waterfront | Kayaks | Private Jetty
We had a wonderful time! The house is very cosy with a beautiful view of the water. Tasman was very responsive and provided detailed instructions including local eatery and walking tracks recommendations.

Picturesque apartment by the beach @Parsley Bay
We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Vaucluse. The location is perfect for exploring Sydney, with a bus stop right outside the door and iconic sights within easy reach. It’s also ideal for families—Parsley Bay is just a short walk away, and our kids loved it. We also enjoyed walks up to Watsons Bay for beautiful sunset photos and pizzas at Watsons Bay Hotel. The apartment itself is fully equipped with everything we needed, and Shane went above and beyond by providing an infant cot and high chair. Communication was excellent—Shane was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next stay!

Shack near the beach
We had a great stay in Peter's 'shack'! It is bright, spacious and comfortable. Despite hot weather, it receives a lovely cool breeze, keeping the temperature down. Kitchen & bathroom were well stocked & it was peaceful and relaxing to sit out on the deck. Peter was responsive and accommodating and I would definitely stay again on future holidays.

Patonga Creek Cabin.
Liz and Larry are exceptional hosts. On arrival after settling in Liz and Larry introduced themselves and showed me where the kayaks were, supplied extra life jackets and gave me a general run down. I found them to be down to earth and friendly, whilst also professional and very respectful of privacy. The cabin is to the rear ( street side) with a little side access to the creek. Impeccably clean, comfortable beds, everything you could need and thought has gone into what you will need /want for your stay. The kayaks are great and handy by the creek, plenty of outdoor seating, if I needed anything very responsive. Kitchen is great with everything well stocked to cook and clean. It rained for much of our stay, but that didn’t stop us enjoying the creek, beach, riding around, and enjoying the walks and waterfalls that the rain provided. Check in and check out is a breeze, I can’t wait to get back to my favourite place ever ( Patonga ) and Patonga cabin has the right price, and hosts.

Terrigal Studio 8B - 150m walk to Terrigal beach
Everything as advertised, very close to the beach, comfortable unit, large balcony and a very friendly dog. Great for a short stay in Terrigal. Hosts very responsive and generous.

The Austin Shelley Beach—Oceanfront Loft Home
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Airbnb in Manly Beach! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the stunning beach, amazing cafes, and local shops. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony was incredible. The home itself had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Liz is a fantastic host—super responsive, supportive and friendly. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Australia!

Lakefront Getaway Walk to Beach
This was a really great place to stay and I wouldn’t hesitate to book there again. It was spotlessly clean, well appointed and centrally located….highly recommend!

Studio (balcony)@Manly Beach,Sydney#
Great location just off the Corso, super accessible to Manly beach and the ferry to Circular Quay. Kirsti was a super host, always accessible and responsive and helpful. Would definitely return, enjoyed my stay. Also loved the A/C, needed in view of the late summer weather.

Stunning Manly Beach views - 906 Manly National
To celebrate my 50th birthday my husband, son and I booked 2 nights in Manly. The apartment overlooking the beach was absolutely perfect and it had everything we needed and the host was polite and responsive. The apartment was beautiful with lovely prints on the wall and very clean. We would 100% love to stay here again in the future. Thank you.

Bateau Bay Beach Retreat
Terrific accommodation and a responsive host. The location is ideal, especially if nature and walking tracks are sought after.

Sunny Beachside 1 bedroom apt. with ocean views
I highly recommend Jeremy’s accommodation. Very neat, bright and clean. I loved the use of space in the kitchen, the pull out pantry and over top cupboard. There is everything you need. Jeremy was very accommodating and easy to communicate with, and his emails were loaded with very clear descriptions. Thank you so much 😊 I would definitely stay again.

The Entrance North: Between the Ocean and The Lake
Adrian’s place was so homely and comfortable. The beds were so soft and we didn’t want to leave that lounge! We had just the right amount of space for 4 adults and 2 kids. Adrian was very generous and thoughtful. Even leaving ice blocks in the freezer for the kids! The pool and games room was a hit with the kids. Great for the couple of rainy days we got during our stay. This was probably the most comfortable air b n b experience we’ve had. Everything ran smoothly thanks to a great host.

Ocean Gem Ettalong Beachside Resort
Excellent communication from Debbie! She met us at the agreed time, took us to the apartment, and explained everything we needed to know for our stay. She also recommended a few great local restaurants and cafés. The apartment was the perfect spot for a little getaway, with heaps to explore nearby. We will definitely be back!

Manly Holiday 713
The location is fabulous near to the center of Manly but away from the hustle and bustle, so it's very quiet but all of the amenity that I needed eg cafes, Swedish bakery and the retail shops a stone's throw away.

Waterfront Penthouse+Jacuzzi+BBQ
Neha was very welcoming and kind person, the place was great and peaceful to stay and relax! Definitely will come again

Townhouse - STAY 3 PAY 2
The house was beautiful and very conveniently located. The beach is just down the road and there is a small strip of cafes with a general store up the road. There was quite a bit of construction in the area which created some noise, but the area itself was lovely and made up for that. Would recommend for a group of adults or families looking for a quiet beach getaway.

Palm Beach Penthouse by Contemporary Hotels
Excellent hosts and great location combined with fantastic weather made for a wonderful stay.

Whale House ~ luxury beachfront, stunning views
Fantastic stay. Waking up to the sound of the waves in the morning was majestic.

Taylor Made Escapes - Overnight Yacht Stay
I honestly can’t say enough about how phenomenal this experience was. I came off of a 20 hour flight and couldn’t wait to relax, cook dinner, and enjoy being on the water. It was the most beautiful sunset I had ever seen and one of the best night’s sleep of my life. From being picked up at the dock to the adventure of the return trip back to shore, I would recommend this incredible stay to anyone!

The One at Pearl Beach
What a beautiful, peaceful place that had all the necessary amenities a 2 min walk from the spectacular pearl beach. It was perfect & Carla and Chloe were great hosts and were very generous to give us a late check out on Sunday. The spa is pretty special although a bit finicky if you don’t know how to use it - thankfully our hosts were very responsive in helping with this. My only note is to maybe make sure if you need more linen/towels than what they provide for the 4 doubles and one single bed (9 people). We booked the house for 11 (there is a room with fold out couches) but those 2 guests didn’t get towels or linen. Final thing is the property has close neighbours so there are a lot of rules to do with noise etc. This makes sense as I assume the hosts have been burned before and must protect their relationship with the local community but if you want somewhere you can feel free to sing your heart out around the fire pit until the wee hours go elsewhere. Thanks for everything!

Newport - Waterfront bliss
We enjoyed a special family holiday at this beautiful Newport home. The view and space are extraordinary. The perfect spot to chill out and catch up with friends and family. It has everything you need and more. Thank you.

Lux Beach Retreat, 2 beds, fire-pit, ensuite, gym!
Can’t put a price on a sunrise like that, with a smoothie and coffee delivery to top it off. After a long flight from Canada it was exactly what I needed to rest, relax, enjoy the solitude and sounds of the ocean! Location was perfect - could roll to the beach in a minute and the guide of Newport was helpful, could walk everywhere! Will be recommending Nicholas’ place to everyone I know!
