Amazing
Toby's house was beautiful. Private section of the house for guests to use stocked with cereal, milk, coffee some snacks ect pretty much anything you need Toby provided. The bed was so comfortable and even the bathroom was stocked with everything we could need. Toby went above and beyond for us even going so fast as to calling us after we got evacuated from our concert and came to pick us up in the pouring rain. We could not be happier with our stay. Thankyou for everything Toby all the best to you Judy and sugar!

What can I say..it was lovely..Toby and Judy were so welcoming and friendly. They insured my stay had everything I needed.The unit was comfortable and spacious and well equipped, plus en suit laundry (bonus). And it was very convenient to the transit system. Also close to Queens park and cafes and grocery stores. It felt like home, so much so that I’ve already booked with them next year. Thank you Judy and Toby for the best experience. So if your looking for the best place this is it.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING
What an amazing apartment! Much larger than we were expecting. The bedroom was huge and so much storage in the walk-in wardrobes. The kitchen had everything you needed and so much more. The welcome pack was amazing and much appreciated. To top it off, a lovely all day sunny balcony just off the lounge overlooked their lovely garden, perfect for breakfasts, lunches and evening meals or just to sit and chill. The apartment was immaculate and very homely and Toby and Judy were the perfect hosts. By far the nicest accommodation we stayed in during our 8 week trip to Aus and we stayed in plenty as we moved around. A massive thank you once again to Toby and Judy.

We had a wonderful stay and would no5 hesitate to recommend or return. We hope to do so one day. Our hosts were the kindest of people, the location was excellent and we visited all the local beaches and could easily get into the city. The property was super clean and comfortable and had everything e needed for a 16 night stay.

Super hosts and accommodation for our visit to Sydney
Our hosts Toby, Judy and sweet Sugar made our pre-cruise stay in Sydney most enjoyable. The suite has all the amenities one could need and included Judy’s delicious home-made cake. With Toby’s “Opal “ cards and directions we used the bus system to get around town to Taronga Zoo, Bondi Beach and The Rock. We heartily recommend this cozy suite as a home away from home.

Lovely stay in North Randwick
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this unit on the upper floor of the hosts’ beautiful home. The accommodation was comfortable, spacious and quiet with many thoughtful touches. The location in a quiet street close to our family suited us well and our friendly hosts made sure we felt at home.

Toby and Judy are the consummate professionals when it comes to hosting. We wanted for nothing. The location is so convenient to the city and Eastern Suburbs and we can't wait to return.

Lovely Stay Great Location.
We really enjoyed our stay in Randwick. Toby and Judy were the perfect host. They provided some provisions in the apartment at the start of our stay which was really thought full and went to a lot of effort to check everything was perfect for us. Check in was easy and when we had to change some dates around this was no problem and they even stored our excess baggage when we went to Darwin. The facilities were great and the bed was comfy. The location was very good close to everything and although no parking we got a spot each day if we’d been out so no issues there. As we were staying for a month we wanted someone like a home from home and we found it. We will definitely be back next winter for another stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in Randwick. The property was spacious and had everything we needed. The balcony was lovely to sit out in for breakfast and in the evening. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a coffee machine and dish washer. A really large dressing room with plenty of storage space. The bathroom was good. Shower was great large and strong water pressure . The bedroom was very large and the bed was very comfy and I’m very fussy. The television had Netflix’s great for watching a movie. This was not like most rentals with cheap furniture and that holiday let feel but felt like a home from home. Great location near all the best beaches at Clovelly and Coogee. We really liked Marouba beach. Our host was delightful and responded quickly and was super helpful allowing us to store our things when we went to Darwin for a week and didn’t need to take all our bags with us. Super clean. We would definitely stay here again.
