Family-friendly vacation rentals in The Hills Shire Council

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this property, which no photo does justice to just how stunning the view of the water is from not one but two decks. A two minute walk to wonderful shopping outlets, cafe’s, dog parks, gyms, salons, everything you need. The host is highly responsive, fair and accommodating. The quiet leafy neighbourhood filled with frangipani’s next to the water is beautiful, with a private area to have a sunny cool spa outdoors or a warm spa of an evening. The bbq placed right where you can see the water is a lovely touch for cooking outdoors with a view. I had everything I needed the moment I arrived which makes life so much easier. I can’t thank the host enough for my stay. This place is truly a gem. Thank you so much!

The Lodge is the perfect place for a getaway with your family or friends. Jane is an amazing host and everything is as described and shown in the photos. Great location with peaceful surroundings. The beautiful Colo River is only a couple of minutes walk away. Shame we didn't get a chance to swim as it was cold, however will definitely be back during summer to make use of it!

What a fantastic place to stay! So homely, well-equipped and with an appropriate level of privacy and support available from Chantelle if needed. Love the chooks! Hope we get to visit again 🙂

Superb apartment in a very convenient location - close to shops and transport links. Easy to get into Sidney centre. Balmain is a delightful suburb full of interesting shops and facilities. Yes there are steps but so worth the views across the city. Thoroughly recommend and would happily return.

We recently stayed at Eulalia's apartment in Killara for a month while visiting family, and had a really great experience. The place was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the beds were super comfortable with nice bed linen. It felt cozy and well-decorated, making it a lovely spot to relax after a day out. Even though it’s located on the Pacific Highway, we hardly noticed any traffic noise since the apartment doesn’t face the road. This was a pleasant surprise! It was also just a short walk to shops and railway stations, which made getting around really easy. Eulalia, the host, was incredibly friendly and made us feel welcome. Overall, it was a fantastic place to stay, and we would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a comfortable home base in Killara.

Had such a wonderful and much needed restorative weekend in this beautiful pocket of the world! Would love to call it home. Perfect way to switch off. Elizabeth was an excellent communicator and provided plenty of information. Nothing was too difficult for Col and he was also able to help us get around and the like. Much appreciated!

My husband and came up for a concert, Susy’s BnB was easy to find safe to leave our car and was awesome to stay in. Will come again for sure!

Spacious house located just a 4-minute drive from Ingleburn town centre, with direct train access to the airport and Opera House. Great value for money and ideal for a short stay around Sydney.

It’s a great place for relaxing with friends, where is not far from city ,very quiet and peaceful. We very enjoyed the wood fire in the yard and also walked down along greens Rd ,drove around mountains roads and met cute animals.

St Albans is a beautiful place. The Blue Barn has a great outlook onto the Macdonald Rover Valley. We really enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the location 2.4km out of town. a great place. People just need to be aware that the town of St Albans has limited infrastructure. The local pub, is an old Australian classic and the coffee at the Pickled Wombat is quite good. However, the quiet location is why you go to St Albans!

great cosy place if you need a place to stay in the area. was clean and simple. host was gracious enough to let us know we forgot a wallet and accommodated us in returning it. thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is brilliant, and is a great space to hang out when you aren't out and about in the city. It feels like someone's home, which isn't something we experience that often on Airbnb any more. Unfortunately the bath wasn't working but we were warned ahead of time about this and it didn't really affect our stay. The area is lovely - quiet (although there is some noise from aircraft flying overhead, common for Inner West properties in Sydney), lots of trees, cafes (Cherry Moon General Stores is fantastic), and pubs. It's also very easy to get into the city as there are buses very close by. Craig was very responsive to any questions we had. We would definitely consider staying here again!

David was a very welcoming host. He proactively arranged for basic groceries like eggs and bread, which turned out to be super helpful, esp because we were traveling with a kid. Strawberries in the fridge were a life saver. There were also toys for our little one to play with - one of the toys kept our son busy and occupied ;). Super helpful host.

Phou was amazing to deal with and very attentive. The place was in a great location and suited our big group including children. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely be returning 😊

Our stay in the studio was amazing! Susan was great at responding to my questions, helpful, friendly and very accomodating. The studio is exactly as described. A big comfy bed, great sized shower and fridge. We loved the outdoor space and spent a lot of time there playing cards and talking. It was private and very well furnished with dinners and a lounge. We had an amazing stay and we will definitely come back to this gorgeous little studio.

Loved our stay here! The house was welcoming, lots of natural light, well equipped and nice and clean. Great modern bathroom. The street is nice and quiet and it was always pretty easy to find a car park nearby if not right out the front. Only a few minutes walk to the main streets and close to Woolworths and some good cafes. Our kids loved the park right across the street. Roslyn was a great host, she gave clear instructions and was very responsive.

it was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed around Sydney. away from all the hustle and bustle of Sydney.. yet not too far from the city. no mobile network was such a great add-on. however wifi worked fine most of the time. Kate was kind enough to give us late check out which made our day a bit more relaxed and fun. the pool and firepit area were great too. overall we enjoyed the place alot.

The apartment was in a very strategic location, just a short walk to the train station, bus stops, and close to everywhere l needed to go. It was clean, cozy, and had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The host was also great - always quick to respond to any questions I had and very helpful throughout my stay. I really appreciated the smooth communication. If I come back to Sydney, would definitely stay here again. Very recommended!

Cost effective accomodation, clean and tidy in a convenient location.

We had a lovely time at Rod and Lynsey’s place. All of the needs for young families was very well thought out from night lights to access to a huge trampoline and simple things like washing machine detergent and milk for breakfast after a late night arrival. They also offered tips to travel more easily into Sydney city and there bar area was a fun and relaxing retreat for parents. Thanks very much, we look forward to visiting at the same time next year!

This accommodation was perfect for what we needed it for. It didn’t quite match the pictures in terms of furniture etc but that didn’t put us off at all. John and his family were helpful and accommodating. Even letting us use their dryer when it rained. It was simply a base for us and the pool was an added bonus. It was a lot cheaper than other accommodation nearby which sold it to us and I am glad that it did. I think we will definitely be booking to stay here again in the future.

Nickie and Greg's house was perfect for our adult family of 7. It was spacious, clean and the indoor/outdoor living was wonderful. When it was cool outside, there are heaters for the back porch. The location is outstanding - walkable to everything including the ferry to take you to the center. The only caveat is that the pool at this time is unheated (not working) so if a pool is on your list, you may want to make sure it's running prior to booking. That was the only real disappointment. Although it's not listed as "heated" we wrongly assumed that it would be. All in all, however, a wonderful stay. They are great hosts!

Nice place

I stayed at Pauline's Airbnb with my partner and 4 year old daughter. Our stay was wonderful and it was great for my daughter to have space to play and run around - something that's simply not possible in an apartment or hotel. We were very comfortable and Pauline was a great host. We look forward to returning in summer and lazing by the pool!
