Condo in Whale Beach
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 342 reviewsWhale Beach Escape Apartment with Leafy Ocean Views
Floor to ceiling views just 10 minutes walk to the beach. This space has the feel of a luxurious cabin with all the amenities of a high-end apartment. Take in ocean views while relaxing in total comfort in this secluded, leafy hideaway. Escape the crowds for a longer stay in peaceful surroundings only 1 hour from the city centre. A lovely self-contained apartment with sunlit rooms decorated with easy elegance for relaxing and taking in the view. An easy 10 minutes walk to beach, cafes, restaurants and stunning bush walks. Public transport can deliver you and delivered-to-the-door public transport. Whilst being situated in a secluded spot away from the hustle bustle, public transport can now deliver you directly to our door. Guests have separate entrance to their apartment. You will occasionally cross paths on the driveway with hosts, Emily and David- happy help you with any queries should you have them, but of the general understanding that you need to just get on with the business of having a holiday. Guests are always greeted on arrival, with a bottle of wine and a welcome selection of appetisers and breakfasts to start your holiday off on the right foot. Happy to assist if you are dairy and/or gluten free. We have an excellent, well-equipped kitchen for longer stays and are happy to point you in the right direction for local specialty fare. As is the case for many spots with great views, access is via a short but steep driveway. Parking is safe and always available. Due to enquiries, we now have an extremely comfortable queen sofa bed which is very easy to return to a sofa during the day. Pictures still being updated. Please contact for more details. Wifi is available, as is a bookshelf with books, board games and DVDs which can be played on the large television. You have your own clothesline, and hose to wash off sand after a swim. The sunny outside table is great for sunset drinks or dinner. Relax at home, or spend the day exploring this beautiful area- see online guidebook or booklet compiled with all the great things to do here. We are happy to interact where needed. If needed, contact for anything is initially via text. We are extremely respectful of privacy. Stroll to Whale Beach for a swim or exercise, bushwalk along some of the coast’s most dramatic scenery; take in the view from the lighthouse above Palm Beach or just retreat to your secluded hideaway to cook up a storm and take in the view. This delightful part of the world is just a walk from Avalon village, or you can choose to have supplies delivered. You can come here by public transport easily - only 10 minutes walk from the L90 bus stop. If you drive, please park opposite on the street outside (the driveway is quite steep and needs practice!). It is easy to arrive by public transport bus, the L90 and E88, which are about ten minutes walk uphill, alternately we can arrange to give you a lift from here if the timing is arranged beforehand. There are also excellent airport shuttle bus services that will take you straight to our door from the airport. We are walking distance to Moby Dicks for weddings and a very short drive to Jonah's. Keep an eye on our whalebeachescape social media page for our regular special deals. Young/small families welcome: we have a portacot, toys, books and dvds for your young ones :) If you wish to bring your baby/child, as we've found many happily have, we ask you to please "baby-proof" the space on arrival- you are far better at knowing what your little one can get up than us :) We are happy to provide a portacot if needed, but ask that you supply your baby's familiar bedding :) We advertise "5 beds" because small families with a child have enquired about this with reasonable regularity. We can supply a trundle bed which is made up and fits under the queen bed. We charge an extra $30 per person. The sofa bed is a new addition which can have an extra 2 people. Please note, the trundle bed needs to be set up in the bedroom or sitting room. You need to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom, so it is not for everyone, but it probably makes a place with a view and walking access to the beach better value.

Guesthouse in Newport
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 184 reviewsWalk to Newport Beach from a Warm Studio
Newport Beach on Sydney's Northern Beaches is fast becoming an exclusive holiday destination for Australian and International holiday-makers alike. Not only is it famous for its many popular surfing breaks including Newport Peak and reef, it is also ideal for swimming, being patrolled by lifeguards over the summer months from October through to April. The iconic Newport Hotel is a short 10 minute walk from the home and other quality eateries are even closer, located in Newport Village. The Village also offers a wide variety of shopping from large supermarkets to boutique stores. Palm Beach, or Summer Bay as it's known on "Home and Away", is 15 minutes further north by car. If night life or a faster pace is more your style then Manly is less than half an hour by car, travelling South. From here the Manly ferry can take you across Sydney Harbour to the CBD for a day of sightseeing. The beach is less than 5 minutes down one end of the road and should you chose to explore the other end of the road, you'll find the historic Bungan Castle, built in 1919. Majestically perched on the headland overlooking Bungan Beach, every stone of this castle was brought over by its German owner and it is now heritage listed. A magical summer awaits at Myola Beach Studio, we look forward to welcoming you. Guests will have private access to the studio on level ground, friendly for disabled or the elderly. Owners are onsite in the main residence if needed. The apartment is steps away from the shores of Newport Beach and a short drive from Bungan Beach. It’s positioned in what’s known as the Golden Triangle, where one can find an array of shopping and dining options.

Your guide to Avalon Beach
All About Avalon Beach
Avalon Beach is an inviting seaside town on the Barrenjoey Peninsula, less than an hour north of Sydney. In a cove where the cliffs relent, the town’s eponymous beach serves as a gathering place and popular surf spot. Adjacent to Des Creagh Reserve, a community garden, and a golf course, the beach also features a grassy park with benches and picnic areas, plus a public swimming pool that juts out along the rocky shore.
A handful of charming cafes, bistros, and shops cluster around the intersection of Old Barrenjoey Road and Avalon Parade in the town centre, and parks and nature reserves like Angophora Reserve, Palmgrove Park, and Stapleton Reserve offer sanctuaries of natural beauty between the windy suburban streets. On the scenic western shoreline of town, sailboats and pleasure craft speckle the bay and, and a walking path connects Bangalley Park and Careel Headland Reserve offering lookout points with picturesque views from the coastal cliffs.
The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Avalon Beach
The best time to visit Avalon Beach is in the spring and autumn when the weather is mild to warm and the skies are clear. One of the most popular events of the year is Avalon Market Day, when the streets in the town centre are blocked off for dozens of vendors selling crafts, clothing, artwork, home goods, produce, and food. The event takes place on the third Sunday in November and also features live music and entertainment. During the summer months temperatures can reach quite high and many visitors flock to the beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing. The summer is also a great time to get out on a kayak or paddleboard, both of which are available to rent from local businesses nearby.
Top things to do in Avalon Beach
Bangalley Head Walk
Marvel at stunning ocean views from the coastal cliffs of Bangalley Head as you hike through one of the largest bushland reserves along the Pittwater coastline. Trailheads in Bangalley Park to the south and off Whale Beach Road to the north allow entry to a central loop that brings visitors through distinctive habitats home to native bird species like the spotted pardalote and peregrine falcon, as well as the ring-tail possum. Be warned, the trail is somewhat rugged and takes about an hour to complete.
Avalon Beach
Catch some rays on the sandy shores of Avalon Beach and enjoy the picturesque views of the surrounding rocky cliffs. Whether you’re looking to go surfing, swimming, or have a picnic in the adjoining park, this beach has it all. Avalon Rock Pool, a public swimming facility at the south end of the beach, is another noteworthy feature with its concrete foundation built into the rocks along the shore. The area around the pool includes a small skateboarding park and a playground.
Paradise Beach
Head over to the Pittwater side of town to Paradise Beach and take a swim in the calm waters of this charming cove. The beach has an enclosed swimming area, as well as a small wharf to walk out on. Nearby there’s a hub that rents paddle boards and kayaks.
