Great apt
Great little apt close to Bondi/Congee beach! Close to the airport but the plane sounds were not bothersome as it does not happen at unusual hours so it is not a problem at all. We did not have the chance to use the spa but the owners offered us to heat it up upon request. The owners also left us some snacks in the apt on our arrival which is always appreciated. Sydney is a very expensive area in terms of hotels/apt, this one was great for the price. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Lovely stay
My husband, baby daughter and I had a wonderful stay in this apartment. It has a good open plan kitchen/diner/living room area. The air con was a life saver in the heat! If you keep the bedroom doors open the Aircon cools the bedrooms down too. The host was very helpful in providing baby items for us - a baby bath, cot and high chair were all left for us which was a huge help. We were also able to park on the drive which was super handy with the baby. The pool was a real treat, and we used the BBQ a lot too. Although the apartment itself was very clean and tidy, we felt the outdoor area could have been tidier (though we appreciate this is used by the host family too). Maroubra beach was lovely and just a 7 minute drive away, with other nice beaches close by too (Coogee, Bondi etc). To drive into central Sydney it was around 20 minutes just be careful with parking as it can be quite pricey! We had a fab holiday in the lovely apartment and would definitely go back!!

Great place!
This place is exactly as advertised. We did have interactions with the family that lives in the attached home but we felt very welcomed and they did not intrude on our space. It had everything you would need and more. There was even a welcome basket with snacks. Location was great. Close to public transport and an easy area to drive in. Lyn gave us recommendations to food/ shopping in the area as well. Highly recommended. Would stay here again.

The best experience!
This property was perfect for our family (me, my husband and our two kids 6 months and 4 years). Lyn was AMAZING and we would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sydney. It’s in a convenient location and there’s a mall super close by for groceries. Lyn had a play pen for our baby and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. If you’re looking for a good place to stay - look no further!!

Perfect getaway
The property was in a great location! Super clean and had everything we need travelling as two friends with our young babies (2 travel cots, highchair, baby bath). Lyn even got baby food for us! It was lovely to stay somewhere so homely and Lyn was easily available and super friendly. We will definitely be back!
