Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Hardys Bay

Janine was a very lovely host. Their place is exactly how they described it! Every one in our group enjoyed every bit of our stay in this lovely and serene escape among the treetops in Avoca!🥰

The house was beautiful and very conveniently located. The beach is just down the road and there is a small strip of cafes with a general store up the road. There was quite a bit of construction in the area which created some noise, but the area itself was lovely and made up for that. Would recommend for a group of adults or families looking for a quiet beach getaway.

Wildwood is in a beautiful bush setting. So peaceful with just the sounds of nature and all the window have screens so you get a lovely flow of air through the house. A very comfortable stay.

Our party of 5 including grandparents and 2 yr old son had a lovely stay at Michelle's. we stayed for 4 nights and spent the mornings at the beach which is just around the corner and lazy afternoons in the pool. The garden and house are well maintained and very cosy for a family trip away. I'd recommend stocking up on food as there are currently no shops/cafes at Pearl beach, but it was handy having a coffee cart turn up next door in the mornings. Even though there is construction building next door, my 2 year old son loved watching the machines and was disappointed when they weren't working on the weekend！Thanks again for sharing your home with us Michelle, we will be back！

Wonderful location and comfortable stay.

A wonderful stay in a great big house with plenty of space and things to do. The host was very amenable and helpful and we had a wonderful time. Rooms were comfortable and the big loft space with lots of beds would suit a group with lots of older children, to have a big sleepover of sorts. Well fenced and set up for dogs too, with plenty of parks and dog friendly beaches nearby. Kitchen and cooking facilities had everything you need to actually cook, even for the larger groups that could fit in such a big house.

The house is in a great position at lake Macquarie with lots of fun to offer. The house and each bedroom were delightfully decorated to add enjoyment to the stay. It’s a wonderful experience we have had. On the down side I would say if beds could be more comfy with better mattress that would be good. Will appreciate if have more floor towels or mop since floor is wet with lots of water activities expected. Shame we have no bbq we could use but we understand the reason. The main couch is a big old and smelly otherwise the home and stay have been perfect.

Excellent location in Patonga with beautiful views from the terrace. Ross was very helpful and responsive. Direct walk down to the beach via the stairs at the side of the property, which was great. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an escape to the coast. We'd happily return :)

Amazing place. Felt really special the moment you stepped in. Tim has thought about every possible thing you would need for you stay. Thank you so much for the amazing experience.

If you looking for a peaceful and quiet stay, this is the place, didn’t get bothered by anyone or anything, the beach being a walk away was so convenient for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful scenery around. Always able to hear the birds sing and the sound of the rain, definitely what I was looking for, away from the city, but at easy reach.

We had a fantastic stay at this apartment in Vaucluse. The location is perfect for exploring Sydney, with a bus stop right outside the door and iconic sights within easy reach. It’s also ideal for families—Parsley Bay is just a short walk away, and our kids loved it. We also enjoyed walks up to Watsons Bay for beautiful sunset photos and pizzas at Watsons Bay Hotel. The apartment itself is fully equipped with everything we needed, and Shane went above and beyond by providing an infant cot and high chair. Communication was excellent—Shane was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommend staying here and look forward to our next stay!

It's a beautiful studio apartment in a lovely area. A friendly kookaburra hung around the deck, though I wasnt so impressed when it tried to steal my shoe 😂 Be careful what you leave out on the deck. We enjoyed our stay here with everything we needed for a little get away.

Kristine’s Airbnb is in a really great location and beautiful setting that allows guests to experience true Sydney living. We had a really enjoyable and peaceful stay and next time will most definitely consider rebooking for a longer stay! Thank you for sharing your property with us!

We had a fantastic stay. The location is excellent with an easy walk to the beach or a supermarket. It's also an easy 15 minutes to the main shopping area for a busier evening when wanted. There is an excellent dining/living room space which is larger than suggested in the photos. Overall we thoroughly recommend this listing.

A wonderful host with a beautiful apartment. Everything you could think of Marisa had supplied. Great location, to catch the bus to Military Road & also the sea ferry’s, & access to Balmoral Beech. Marisa was so informative which was really helpful as this was our first visit to Australia. Highly recommend this apartment & it’s wonderful owner.

Perfect hub for a mid week getaway to nature and the coast. Loved its proximity to the National Parks, hiking paths and coast line. Drivable to favourite coast lines such as Avoca, Pretty Beach, Umina, Copacabana and Ettalong. Clean and safe space that allowed the relaxation of the day to sweep into the nights. Loved this space and its proximity to cafes and entertainment. Totally recommend.

It was such a pleasure to stay at Bryan’s villa, we get to enjoy the sunbath each day at the private beach, the water is extremely clear and beautiful. Water taxi just one call away very convenient if we need groceries. The villa is clean with all basic supplies we needed. We had an amazing chillax stay to cleanse our year end stress. Bryan is very responsive and had kindly provided very detailed information to help our check in and stay much smoother, a lot less stressful!

My family had a great weekend at the property. It is located within minutes to beaches and shops. I'd recommend this property to any one need more rooms.

This place is magical. We returned a second year in a row and this time was even better. If you want to get off the grid and forget Covid, masks and all the stresses of life, the Villa doesn’t disappoint!

What a beautiful, peaceful place that had all the necessary amenities a 2 min walk from the spectacular pearl beach. It was perfect & Carla and Chloe were great hosts and were very generous to give us a late check out on Sunday. The spa is pretty special although a bit finicky if you don’t know how to use it - thankfully our hosts were very responsive in helping with this. My only note is to maybe make sure if you need more linen/towels than what they provide for the 4 doubles and one single bed (9 people). We booked the house for 11 (there is a room with fold out couches) but those 2 guests didn’t get towels or linen. Final thing is the property has close neighbours so there are a lot of rules to do with noise etc. This makes sense as I assume the hosts have been burned before and must protect their relationship with the local community but if you want somewhere you can feel free to sing your heart out around the fire pit until the wee hours go elsewhere. Thanks for everything!

Our stay was wonderful! The place had everything we needed – well-equipped with everyday essentials and a beautiful, pleasant scent throughout. The two dishwashers and large double door fridge were perfect for our large group. We also loved how close it was to the beach, just a short walk away. We'd definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We had such a great stay! The location is perfect, only a few minutes walk to the beach and you can watch sunrise over the ocean in bed :) The house was so comfortable and stylish, lots of art deco character. We would 100% stay again!

We stayed at Nicola’s place for five nights and we had the best time. The area is so peaceful and beautiful and it was the absolute best kitted out Airbnb. Everything we could have wanted was provided. We made use of all the beach gear everyday - snorkels, paddle boards, fishing rods you name it! It was also easy to feed 9 of us as the kitchen and bbq area was so well set up. It was also terrific for the kids as there were so many games and activities for them to do thanks to Nicole and David. We will definitely be back and recommending this gem to our friends and family.
