Apartment in Rushcutters Bay

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 238 reviews

Stylish, Modern Retreat in Central Sydney with Car Space

Clean, bright, contemporary, and decorated with a striking collection of modern indigenous artwork, this Elizabeth Bay/Rushcutters Bay apartment offers guests a sheltered and sophisticated home just minutes from all the entertainment Sydney has to offer. Situated in one of the most cosmopolitan neighbourhoods in Australia, it is a vibrant inner-urban community with grand old Art Deco buildings and harbour-side parks. It's walking distance to the city through the Botanic Gardens. Our home is well designed, comfortable, clean, secure and fully equipped with everything you will need. Welcome to our gorgeous apartment in the heart of Sydney's most stylish neighbourhood, Elizabeth Bay/Rushcutters Bay. The apartment is located on the entry level of a secure building, faces north with tranquil garden views. Although very central the apartment is located in a quiet, leafy street. The studio is fashionably decorated and is styled with captivating and dynamic contemporary Australian Indigenous art. Our apartment comfortably fits two people with a real (and comfortable) queen size bed, but can easily accommodate a 3rd guest on the large sofa. On arrival please make yourself at home. I have left a tray with essentials bread, milk, etc or there is a bottle of Australian wine in the fridge. Designed and equipped for Airbnb visitors, the apartment is surrounded by walking streets, shopping, cafes and restaurants in an attractive village style area. The weekend markets are full of organic produce, quirky street shopping & more great coffee! Metro buses & trains are only minutes away, although it's only a short walk to the city and surrounds. The apartment is 5 minutes walk to harbour side, Beare and Rushcutters Bay parks, tennis courts and marina. It is 5 - 15 minutes walk to galleries, and the retail and restaurant precincts of Darlinghurst, Surry Hills, Woolloomooloo and Potts Point. We provide a computer/internet/wi fi/television for use, plus a few notable books and guides that will introduce you to Australian/Sydney life and culture. The kitchen has ample cooking utensils, crockery, cutlery, oven, microwave, large fridge, dishwasher and essential foodstuffs for your visit. Towels and fresh linen are provided and the bathroom is stocked with a variety of toiletries and many handy items to enhance your visit if you should need them. The bathroom includes a washing machine/dryer & hairdryer and powerpoint in the cupboard. There is a very long full length mirror in the hallway. The apartment is comfortable, well appointed, clean and safe. There is also a roof top garden area for views of surrounding regions and embodies an outdoor, more casual roof-top garden atmosphere. You will have the entire apartment to yourselves. We will try to meet you as you arrive to give the grande tour plus leave you the keys. However, my busy academic schedule precludes being available all of the time. I visit the Western Desert regularly. Details will be provided at time of booking. There is one set of keys, two keys to the set. Please leave the keys on the kitchen bench when you leave. We will always be available via phone or email (even when we are outside of Sydney metro region). In the event of an emergency, you will find a list of contact details in the house manual. I'm available on email, text message or by phone (if I'm not in a meeting!). I pride myself on being responsive. Within easy reach of Sydney's cultural attractions, but sheltered in picturesque surroundings, Elizabeth Bay is a relaxed neighbourhood with a wonderful array of boutique shops, noteworthy restaurants, cosy cafes, and organic farmers' markets. The apartment is set in a quiet leafy street in an inner-city area of Sydney, about two kilometres east of the CBD, central to the fashionable suburbs of Potts Point, Elizabeth Bay, Rushcutters Bay, Kings Cross and Darlinghurst. Walk just about everywhere. I prefer to walk everywhere - is the perfect place to start exploring what the city has to offer. Transport options are abundant. Bus stop is located 2 mins from the apartment. Kings cross train station is a short 5min stroll from the studio and there is abundance of taxis around. Plenty of choices! Although designed for the comfort of Airbnb visitors, the small studio apartment is also treated as our home away from home. As my daughter (in New York) and myself (Hawkesbury region on the outskirts of Sydney) frequently stay in Sydney, we have endeavoured to make the space as comfortable and stylish as possible for our stopovers and short breaks. We hope that our guests enjoy it as much as we do.

Your guide to Kirribilli

All About Kirribilli

Situated on the Lower North Shore of Sydney Harbour, close to the Central Business District (CBD), Kirribilli is one of Sydney’s oldest and most established suburbs. It’s a great area to explore with its grand architecture and attractive homes, including the Kirribilli House, the Prime Minister’s residence in Sydney. Australia’s oldest continuously operating professional theatre company, The Ensemble Theatre, sits on the waterfront and has been giving performances since 1958.

Any visit here should include a trip to beautiful McDougall Street, with its rows of vibrant, purple jacaranda trees lining the road. The area is known for its picturesque views and harbourside vantage points of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Sydney Opera House, two of the city’s most well-known and recognisable architectural structures. With many under-the-radar cafes and restaurants, boutique shops, and peaceful, manicured gardens and parks for enjoying a picnic, Kirribilli offers visitors to Sydney a lovely base to discover.


The best time to stay in a holiday rental in Kirribilli

The weather in Kirribilli is generally mild overall; however, September through November may be one of the best times to seek Kirribilli accommodations, as it offers comfortable temperatures and sunny weather while avoiding the summer heat and humidity. During these months, various events and festivals occur in the area, such as the Bondi Festival of the Winds with its kite-flying displays, the Cabramatta Moon Festival celebrating the changing seasons, the harvest, and the vitality of the area’s Southeast Asian community, and Oktoberfest in the Gardens featuring Bavarian culture, culinary delights, and carnival rides. You can also experience crisp days and cool nights from February through May, which provide pleasant conditions for sightseeing and enjoying the beaches and water activities with mild temperatures. Sydney Mardi Gras celebrates the LGBTQ community, the Biennale of Sydney showcasing contemporary art, and the Sydney Comedy Festival are just a few events held during these months.


Top things to do in Kirribilli

The Kirribilli Markets

Held every other weekend, The Kirribilli Markets are one of Sydney’s oldest and most popular markets. Among the more than 220 stalls and shops, you can find gourmet foods, home and giftwares, arts and crafts, jewellery, new and recycled fashion items, plants, and much more. With various local and international food options, you can indulge in decadent cakes, homemade chocolates, or mouthwatering BBQ while enjoying live entertainment and beautiful harbour views.

Wendy’s Secret Garden

Located amongst the Lavender Bay Parklands and within view of the Sydney Harbour, Wendy’s Secret Garden is a colourful sanctuary filled with exotic and native plants, which was transformed from an overgrown rubbish-filled valley beginning in 1992. The garden provides a tranquil place to wander while soaking in the waterside scenery and art-inspired landscape dotted with bronze, stone, and wooden sculptures.

The Sydney Harbour

It’s impossible to miss the Sydney Harbour while exploring Kirribilli, and the area offers more than just picturesque views. The Sydney Harbour features an assortment of activities such as kayaking, paddleboarding, and ferry rides. You can swim the calm waves of the harbour waters or experience views of seemingly untouched and pristine, sandy beaches from a flight overhead or a climb to the top of Sydney Harbour Bridge.
