We looooved our stay here!!! The water views are absolutely stunning & it’s such a treat to be able to look out onto the water from wherever you are in the house - from the kitchen, main bedroom & living spaces. The environment is so serene & private it’s impossible not to feel completely relaxed & at ease. The house is lovely & spacious with an amazing TV & super comfy couch perfect for movie nights. Thank you Angela, Louie & Russell for an incredible getaway!!!

Home in Berowra Waters
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsrivescape, Berowra Waters
Rivescape was just the perfect getaway for our families - we had kids from toddlers to teens between us. The serene waterfront instantly calms you, and the house has space for everyone. Kids had their own space downstairs and us couples enjoyed a large open plan kitchen / living / dining that extends to the outdoor balcony. Beds were comfortable, too! We wouldn't have asked for anything else. Sharon & Tom were so responsive and easy to deal with. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a family holiday, friends getaway or a romantic escapade. We'll sure be back!

This is such a beautiful stay nestled in the Northern Beaches. Excellent for a weekend away or even a long stay. Felt right at home. Francine is a great host, which made sure we had everything (including various milks for morning coffee, oil, salt etc). Highly recommend for couples!! Can’t wait to come back :)

Home in Scotland Island
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 27 reviewsThe Oasis- Luxe Waterfront Home with Private Jetty
Our stay at The Oasis was an incredibly peaceful and relaxing escape. The home is beautiful, comfortable and well appointed. The kitchen is well stocked with all the right utensils, and the living areas and bedrooms are spacious and well appointed. But the view and surrounding landscape is the main character - the view is unparalleled and so captivatingly beautiful. Our group loved dining on the deck, sunbathing and jumping in the water straight from the private jetty. Rachel was communicative, helpful with recommendations, and had the house opened up to let in a breeze on our arrival which was a nice touch. Highly recommend.

Apartment in Millers Point
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 173 reviewsCosy Sydney Water View Historical 3 Bedroom #1
Suzanna is an amazing host. Local recommendations given and very responsive All issues we communicated to her. We only had issues with the bathrooms (shower and toilets) which we found too cramped and lacked of ventilation. One shower needs better drainage as the towel got very wet on the ground. Drainage in sinks weren’t amazing Photos of the house were inaccurate as even on a good day we never got as much light in the lounge room as in the photos, also clever angles as looks like more room than there actually is. Provision of toiletries and basic amenities very helpful Lots of noise from apartment above and neighbours at all hours Beds were very comfortable, one bedroom cramped so needed to move bed to shut the door. Location amazing, easy to walk to Barangaroo station, Barangaroo reserve, the Rocks and Circular Quay. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, thanks Suzanna.

Cottage in Pitt Town
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 333 reviewsCox's Cottage in the Hawkesbury Valley
Our family really enjoyed our stay at The Cox Cottage. Annette was very welcoming and gave us a tour of the cottage, providing helpful information and its history, including local restaurants on arrival. We found it very quiet and enjoyed walking to the lake or having a drink on the verandah in the afternoons. I particularly enjoyed watching the little wrens in the garden each morning. During our stay we found the cottage to be very comfortable with plenty of room for our family of four and two friends. There were plenty of towels, linen etc on hand. They also very kindly provided breakfast essentials for our first night. As we had driven from Queensland, this was very much appreciated. We would definitely recommend their wonderful cottage to our friends and family. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Cottage in Coasters Retreat
4.62 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviewsWaterfront Cottage & Boat in pristine nature
This beautiful home met all expectations. The home is situated in what must be one of the most beautiful places in Sydney. Peaceful bushland. Pristine beaches. All protected by the National Park that surrounds them. The home has obviously been loved by many generations in Danny's family and it it very special to be able to share this space. Whether the sun was shining or the rain falling, this beautifil haven allowed a quiet, serene break from the city. Thanks so much for sharing, Danny.

Cottage in Macmasters Beach
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsFamily Friendly House 5 mins walk to the beach
We were a party of 4 adults. Louise’s place was very clean and comfortable and an easy walk to the beach. The beds, pillows and linen were comfortable. The air conditioner and fans were very much appreciated during the day - the temperature inside was perfect at night with the window open and only the ceiling fan on. The kitchen was very clean and well fitted out. A very easy and comfortable stay.

Cottage in Milsons Passage
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviewsWaterfront River House
A fantastic place to spend the weekend on the Hawkesbury. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed, the views are amazing from anywhere in the house, and the dock was perfect for tying off a boat for day trips. Karen was great to deal with, and the house is exactly as described.

Cottage in Bar Point
5 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsHawkesbury River Hide Out
Louise's place is beautifullll - I would stay there again in a heartbeat. We had such a lovely weekend there, the house is gorgeous and homey and has everything you need. The location is just stunning! It was so peaceful, there's some beautiful walks to do (including a nice waterfall!). There's absolutely nothing I'd change about it all - if you get a chance to stay here, definitely do.

Cottage in Macmasters Beach
4.74 out of 5 average rating, 31 reviewsYallambee Cottage - Absolute Beachfront
We had a thoroughly enjoyable long weekend at Macmasters Beach. The house was perfect for our family getaway. The children could roll down the small grassy hill and play games. The deck is large with a lounge area and dining area. We didn’t spend much time in the house as the outside area was perfect. There are a few seating areas all of which have views over the sea. Sunrises were beautiful. The garden is well kept. The home is well stocked with plenty of platters, crockery and pots and pans. Cafes close by. It’s a great spot to stay.
