Family-friendly vacation rentals in Northern Beaches Council

We had an incredible time staying! The apartment was even more amazing than we thought. It had everything we needed, and Sally dad - John warm welcome and gift were the best parts of our trip. Thank you so much for that! We’d love to come back to your place again in the spring if we ever get the chance.

Family of 3 stayed for a week and loved it. Great location, loved the sauna & spa & pool. Would stay again and highly recommend

Coco’s place was perfect, great location and everything we needed for a Sydney city stay. The apartment has everything we needed which made or stay super easy. Coco met us and checked us in and is a fantastic host.

We had a lovely stay, view was amazing. Location was fantastic. Apartment was spacious and kitchen well equiped. Would totally recommend staying, will we again in the future. Thank you

Walking distance to everything Darling harbour has to offer! great coffee from the motel Cafe across the street. Pyrmont bridge hotel for beers and happy hour. Coles, restaurants, aquarium, lyric theatre, Crown etc etc, we walked to Queen Vic building and Pitt st mall easily. Balcony great for fireworks and view from the roof pool was awesome. There are 2 new harbourside apartment complexes under construction that will impact the view eventually from this 3rd floor unit but I think a decent harbour view will still be available - we experienced no noise from construction. Unit was neat and clean, could do with a few updates/improvements which i have emailed. The host was responsive and friendly. queen bed was comfy and plenty of pillows blankets etc. All up a great place in the perfect spot for us. Would happily rebook.

Fantastic stay. Liz's place is ideally located for anyone needing to easily get around and visit Sydney. Communication from Liz throughout was super helpful and great to have such a helpful host. would recommend

Brendan and Maureen’s place is wonderful! It’s a beautiful apartment with incredible views in one of the best locations in the world, Bondi Beach. The apartment was clean, well maintained and stocked with everything listed, and is in close proximity to everything you could want/need. Getting into the building/carpark/apartment was seamless. I couldn’t have asked for a better base for a really great trip. I highly recommend Brendan and Maureen’s apartment…I promise you won’t want to leave!! Thank you!

Very nice place with beautiful view. The host is very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to everyone.

This is our second stay at Jason & Mara’s place and we had a fantastic stay. There is a cool coffee van round the corner near the park, it is a relaxing 10 min walk to the beach. Safe and friendly residential area near to Harris Farm shop & tennis club. Bus stop very close if you need. Jason & Mara super friendly and great people. Highly recommended.

If Chey’s spot is available, JUMP ON IT! It’s a relaxing & serene private space for a great price. Her home is easy, and a private to get in & out of easily. I also loved her dogs, and even got to meet Chey. She & her dogs are LOVELY! Would definitely stay here again.

We LOVED our stay - the house is perfect. One side of the house is the hosts and the other side is the AirBnB with music studio sound proofing between! Very spacious one-bedroom, fully equipped kitchenette, Faen & JP had fruit, milk, butter, fresh bread and treats for our two Labradors for our arrival and other goodies to use. Very comfortable bed, lovely linen and amenities. The house also has a gorgeous verandah overlooking the park. Its very private but just a walk to an array of restaurants, supermarkets etc. and an amazing coffee shop with an awesome breakfast is a 2-minute walk around the corner. There is plenty of street parking and public transport a short walk away. The house is also fully fenced for the fur babies. Faen and JP were an absolute delight to deal with, could not have done more to make us feel more welcome and at home. Will definitely come and stay again.

I enjoyed dealing with Kate who deserves her reputation as a super host. She was unlike some other hosts I have dealt with very flexible with check in and check out times. I really hope that I have the opportunity to stay in this lovely property again and wish her all the best

Had a lovely stay at Mike & Tamsin’s place. They were very friendly and ensured we had everything we needed during our stay. The Surf Shack was well equipped and was a great location to get around via bus. Definitely recommend staying here. Thank you for having us !

This huge one bedroom apartment was very comfortable and very spacious. Massive living area and big bedroom with full sized bathroom plus 2nd toilet and large well appointed kitchen. There are a lot of personal touches that make the stay very comfortable. The views are beautiful and outdoor area is great. This is a very walkable area to Balgowlah and to Manly with a lot of very regular buses into Manly and the city as well as northern beaches. Our dog enjoyed his stay very much and loved the off leash dog park that was 3 mins away.

We stayed at this lovely Airbnb for 2 nights to visit family in Avalon. Patti and Maya were highly responsive from the time of booking to the end of the stay. The home was perfect for our party of three and 2 small dogs. It was clean, cosy and everything we needed was available and then some. We had no trouble finding the home, entering it or finding a parking space close to the home on the street. The 2 bedrooms with ensuites was a perfect setup for us as well as the open concept living space. The TV and wifi worked well. We spent a great deal of time in the outdoor living space and even though it rained we still enjoyed it. The neighbourhood is quiet and locals friendly. Close to coffee shops, beaches, restaurants, grocery, pubs and clubs. I have a senior dog that has high anxiety when away from home and he was extremely chilled in this environment. The only negative thing I have to say is that we didn’t stay long enough. 10/10 Highly recommend.

This is one of the nicest Airbnb’s I’ve been to. Helen’s place was beautiful, she was so accommodating and friendly. We had such an amazing time.

Gorgeous place to stay excellent communicative, Amazing host ! Everything was perfect . Host goes the extra mile ! Thank you highly recommended!!

My family were visiting me from overseas and stayed at Jan’s place during their time in Sydney. The apartment was very clean and spacious with a well equipped kitchen. Great having the shops located nearby and a short 15-20 minute stroll to Dee Why beach. Great location for jumping on a bus to the city too. Would definitely stay again and Jan was very helpful and responsive.

Fantastic stay! Great location and stunning views. Can’t recommend enough.

Great flat in a highly desirable location, good amenities in the building, very helpful and responsive host.

My stay at Jill and Didier's place in Manly Vale was absolutely wonderful! Their home is a true haven of peace where you instantly feel comfortable. Jill and Didier are incredibly thoughtful and attentive hosts, always ensuring the stay is as pleasant as possible. The location is perfect, just a short distance from the ocean, which adds a magical touch to the experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a peaceful and memorable getaway. Thank you again for everything!

We could not fault our stay ! The apartment was well equipped , clean and in a great location ! Will definitely stay again when we are next in Manly !

Great location just off the Corso, super accessible to Manly beach and the ferry to Circular Quay. Kirsti was a super host, always accessible and responsive and helpful. Would definitely return, enjoyed my stay. Also loved the A/C, needed in view of the late summer weather.

Great apartment, with an amazing view, in a great location. I’m a little scared of heights & the apartment is actually much higher than it’s 9th floor location, due to parking & businesses & the railing is very old school, but the view was definitely worth it. The beds were very comfortable. James was a great host. Check in was super easy & James responded quickly to any questions. We would definitely stay here again!
