BRONTE Garden Apt - FABULOUS UNIQUE DESIGNER APT

JoanneRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Yolande's accommodation was quiet, private, clean and I felt very relaxed with her beautiful decorations, artworks and furnishings. The bed linen was lovely and the bed was very comfortable. Yolande supplied delicious fresh sourdough, butter, milk and some other pantry supplies as well. Yolande's is very central to everything. I found it quite easy to park in the street whilst I was there. I will definitely be staying there again!

Chic Affordable 1BR Near Airport with Parking

RupeshRating, 5 stars2 days ago
I had a great stay at lujias place. The communication was clear and timely from the beginning, which made check-in easy and stress-free. The home was clean, well-maintained, and matched the listing photos exactly. The host clearly put thought into the little details—extra towels, kitchen essentials, and even some local tips—which made the stay more comfortable. The neighborhood was quiet and safe, and it was easy to get around from the location. I appreciated the host’s responsiveness and willingness to help with any questions. I’d absolutely recommend staying here to other travelers looking for a comfortable, reliable place to stay. Thank you again!

MontPierre Rustic & Cosy Mountain Cottage

DavidRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Prue and Mathieu are extremely down to earth hosts. We got the chance to meet them and hear a little about their story and beautiful airbnb. My partner and I felt truly lucky to have found this hidden gem. As others have said, the photos do not do justice to the real thing. From the moment we entered from the front gate and into the home, my partner and I were completely mesmerized. Vintage and rustic, the decor and style left us spending the first hours of our stay marveling at the details put into this cozy home. 1000 character review is not EASY which I hope says a lot. MontPierre is the perfect mountain getaway home, and will always be a truly special home in our lives and couldn't be happier where we stayed (she said YES at Botanical Gardens!) and now we're engaged! We highly reccomend MontPierre and will definitely be coming back in the near future. Thank you Prue and Mathieu!

Designer studio apartment with rooftop pool

LouiseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
1 bedroom apartment with well appointed kitchen. Light & bright with nice aspect. Brilliant position just minutes walk into Potts Point cafes, shops & market & easy walk through the Botanical Gardens to the Opera House & onto Circular Quay. Kitchen basics supplied & good pod coffee machine. Was able to both checkin early & check out after the usually time which made depositing suitcases & enjoying our last morning there possible. Fabulous rooftop pool with BBQ & entertaining area which unfortunately the weather & timing meant we were not able to use. Pool towels supplied. Extra bathroom towels supplied & comfortable bed & linen. We had a terrific stay.

Harbourside Studio with Stunning Views

YJRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
It was my first trip to Sydney and I was so satisfied. Overall, it was quiet, so it was good for a good rest. It was also nice to be close to the train and ferry location. This is the best view of Opera House and Harbour Bridge. I couldn't confirm the check-in details in advance, but jinni was kind enough to let me know, and I really appreciated that he helped me check in early. I'm going to visit again the next time I travel to Sydney.

Your guide to Sydney

Welcome to Sydney

Booming Sydney, the biggest and oldest city in Australia, is a stunning, sprawling metropolis. The global city is a buzzing economic, cultural, and culinary hub with architecture mixing classical, Gothic, and modern styles. Visitors to this storied port are welcomed visually by two iconic landmarks: the grand Sydney Opera House, with its high-flying sails that jut into the sky, set against the dramatic arch of the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Beyond its urban appeal, Sydney is networked with expansive parks, gardens, and hiking trails. Pack a beach bag and follow the crowds to beautiful Bondi Beach, where Sydneysiders (as locals are called) stroll on the sand and surf the deep blue waters year round. This is a place where urban sophistication and casual fun coexist naturally: You may even find yourself at a five-star restaurant with a bit of beach sand on your heel.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Sydney

Thanks to Sydney’s waterfront locale, it experiences fairly mild temperatures year round. Summers (December through February) are sunny and warm. Expect crowds during this time, especially on the beaches. Summer is also high time for festivals. The Sydney Festival, a citywide arts celebration, takes place in January. New Year’s Eve’s epic fireworks celebration above the Sydney Opera House draws throngs of onlookers, and is followed by the city’s premier music event, Field Day Music Festival, the next day. Temperatures and crowds dip in fall, and winter brings the city’s coolest temperatures and rain. Spring may be the perfect shoulder month to book an apartment for rent, as the temperatures rise while humidity remains low.


Top things to do in Sydney

Royal Botanic Garden

Established in 1816, this waterfront park is home to native and global flora. Wander the Australian Rainforest Garden to see rare palm trees, ferns, and orchids or explore the Calyx, a grand glass complex with a massive living wall. The garden is also home to the city’s largest colony of flying foxes — large, googly-eyed bats who fly around the park dining on fruit.

Art Gallery of NSW

One of Australia’s finest art collections is housed in a 19th-century building designed to resemble a classical temple of art. There are rich assemblages of Aboriginal and contemporary art alongside paintings by European masters. The gallery hosts exciting traveling exhibitions throughout the year, as well as talks and performances. Best of all, admission to the gallery and most of its exhibitions is free.

Cockatoo Island

Explore Australia’s complicated history as a penal colony at this UNESCO World Heritage site, accessible via a short ferry ride. Those sentenced endured harsh conditions on the island, which began operating as a prison in 1839. Later, it was an important naval and shipping dock. Today Cockatoo Island is a historical site that’s also been reimagined as an arts destination, with three distinct events venues; it hosted the Biennale of Sydney in 2020.
