Holiday rentals with beach access in Lake Illawarra

This little studio only a few minutes from the beach was perfect for my week in Mosman. There are restaurants and cafes in walking distance and close buses.

We absolutely loved the central location of this apartment. It is light and airy, well equipped and just as pictured. Elisabeth was a wonderful host who always replied quickly to our questions and did her best to allow for an early check-in as our flight from Austria arrived very early in the morning. If you are sensitive to noise, you might want to think twice about renting this apartment though. Garbage disposal and other trucks can be heard, even with windows closed, as early as 5 am. Add to this the fact that the next-door neighbour seems to be talking on the phone loudly at all times of day and night and on Friday and Saturday nights street noise can get quite loud. If you're not a sound sleeper, this might be somewhat challenging. All in all, a perfect place to stay centrally in Manly when you have no problem with noise.

Great location, excellent communication! Nice and close to Cronulla! Good apartment and well set up Would stay again!

Our family really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was great and so central with lots of fantastic eating options and parks, cinema and beach for kids. Peter was a great host and so responsive. Can recommend.

Michael is super responsive and this place is right where you want to be in front of the beautiful bondi beach! My mom and I loved watching the water crash from adorable beachy chairs in the living room. We are very grateful for the in-unit laundry machines because we did the blue mountains hiking trip beforehand. The air conditioner and heater worked amazing too. It was both sunny and raining since we traveled end of April/May so we used both air and heat. There’s a smell when you get into the front door of the building because the trash (next to the bar) is on the first level and we told michael who took care of that right away! The unit is 3 stories up so when we got inside there’s no smell in the unit. Overall we felt really lucky to find this bondi gem. To be honest - I’m usually a 5 star hotel person and I was happy to choose this airbnb instead! It was perfect for us - beachy and cozy :)

We enjoyed staying in the room. It was clean and bed was comfortable. It had great kitchen facility so we could cook breakfast in the morning and cleaning up was easy because of the mighty dishwasher! The room had the adapter and charger too! The common laundry room with dryer was close to the room which was really helpful. Next to the unit, they have Mediterranean cafe that opens from 7 am and also the famous fish and chip shop is so close by too. Great access to the balmoral beach.

Great little apartment. Very tidy and clean and exactly like the photos. Fully kitted kitchen and extremely clear check in/out instructions.

Enjoyed our brief stay. Very close to cafes, shops and restaurants as well as the beach. Wifi was excellent too as my husband relied on it to do some remote work. We found this apartment very comfortable. Thekla was a wonderful host and even made us a loaf of Artisan bread! Thank you!

great stay, great location. There was construction next door but they offered late check-out and the construction isn't in their control so everything was great

Had a great stay, the house was spotless and spacious for our party of 6 adults. Good kitchen and bbq to cook our nightly meals. Lovely beach view from veranda for lunch and afternoon drinks. Short walk down to beach and cafe. Thank you Dean for our very enjoyable stay.

Thank you so much to our host! The house was better than we could have expected, the table tennis was a hit, the board and outside games provided were definitely appreciated. We enjoyed both seating areas as they were spacious for the 6 of us. Location wise was super close to the local shops and beach to walk. Simon was so lovely and accomodating in helping with every query and provided a lot of recommendations for things to do. Neighbours were also friendly and helpful. Thank you and will definitely try and book this home again in the future! :)

Paul’s place at Vincentia was magic. The home is warm and inviting, the backyard has beautiful little nooks with something different in every corner and plenty of space in the sun. The outdoor area is weather proof and has a great bbq with a pool table. It rained for a lot of our visit but Paul’s home ensured we enjoyed our time at Vincentia just as much. Thank you for having us Paul, I home to come down again :)

We loved staying at Mel’s beach house! So so close to the beautiful beach, Great space for the dog in the yard. Awesome dvd collection. 5 stars! Would stay again

Great spot. Nice home. The sauna was an unexpected bonus, which we all loved. Thanks. We’ll be back.

Our family stayed at Kate & Andrew’s home for a family wedding at The Woods Farm. It was perfect. We were so comfortable, had plenty of space and beautiful bedrooms for all. Fabulous location.

Thank you for a lovely stay, we had a great time. Very handy having so many beach towels available as well as the beach gear. Very simple and easy stay, highly recommend. Thank you !

Steve’s place was absolutely stunning!! Beautiful views to wake up to 😊 It was quite small for a penthouse but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in beauty. Steve was really kind in letting me get ready for my wedding in his apartment with my two close friends. This was a really special experience and my friends were stunned by the view! It made for some absolutely beautiful photos! Thanks Steve 🥰

I was in town working on a film, Victoria is amazing and The Place! Gorgeous..you get your quiet beautiful view of the ocean and surfers. You can walk over and have a delicious meal or cocktail. I hope to come back, beautiful stay.

We felt right at home. Claudia has every convenience for a week long stay. Great kitchen and peaceful neighborhood for sleeping. It was an easy walk directly down beach road to the stunning bondi beach. Cute cafes and terrific Harris Farms grocery close by.

Glen’s place was in a great location, and he was kind enough to let me check in a bit earlier, which I really appreciated. It’s very easy to get to from the airport, and there are lots of cute cafes and dining spots in the area. I hadn’t explored this side of Sydney before and truly enjoyed discovering it. The space is small but ideal for a solo traveller or a couple who plans to spend most of their time out and doesn’t need to cook much beyond tea or a sandwich. While it’s an interior studio and faces a wall -it is surrounded by beautiful plants, including a lovely monstera, so it feels quite private and green. The washing machine is a fantastic perk, and although there are occasional announcements from the nearby centre, I didn’t find them disruptive. The only things I would tweak are the gap between the bed and the wall, which makes it a bit less comfortable when sitting up, and the lighting—I would have liked a stronger light source. Perfect for a short stay.

Penny was a fantastic host. Super responsive and outstanding communication. Accommodation spot on. Thanks for a great stay.

Andy’s place is perfect. Located in a quiet location 10 mins walk from all that Bondi has to offer. Surrounded by trees it feels very secluded and peaceful. The views are great from the main bedroom and living area and we could hear the roar of the sea (we had had a storm!). Lovely apartment and well equipped with everything you need.

This apartment is in a fantastic location. We had people in our party who were able to go for a swim, others who enjoyed a stroll through the Cronulla shops. There are great restaurants close by and we all enjoyed the view from the dining window of the beach and the street life below.

Stunning place next to iceberg pools walking distance from the beach boardwalk and all restaurants, uninstructed views of beach, surfers and more
