House rentals with a pool

3 Bedroom home with pool oasis in heart of Bondi
Tina was an excellent host. She went over and beyond making sure we had a great stay, including putting in a brand new BBQ for us which was greatly appreciated. Communication was great prior to our arrival and during our stay. Nothing was too much trouble for her. The apartment was very clean and as described. It was great that liquid soap, shampoo and conditioner was provided, as were kitchen basics, tea, coffee etc. The apartment is in a great location, a 5 minute walk from the Bondi shopping mall where you can buy everything you need, and a 20 minute walk from Bondi Beach. The heated pool, although small, is a rare find and great for cooler times of the year, and the lovely covered outdoor dining area is perfect for BBQs. The area is noisy with a busy multi lane main road directly behind the apartment and a school in front of it. The other thing to note is that the apartment is approached by about 10 steep external steps so might not be easy for people with mobility issues.

Stunning home near Beach with Pool & Sauna
Lovely and spacious place, it had everything we needed for our comfortable stay with friends. Highly recommend it

Stunning Tamarama Beach House
Thanks Timothy for hosting us over Easter. We appreciated the great communication via Jon and easy check-in instructions. The home is in a great location and we loved the special homely touch of providing board games and binnoculars to watch the surf and boats cruise by. Thanks again!
Private Luxury Apartment Sitting atop Pittwater
Evelyns space was nice and quiet with spectacular views of Pittwater Bay. My family had an absolutely lovely stay. Evelyn is very helpful and quick to respond to anything guests may need. Apartment is in great location, walking distance to town and beaches.

Sun drenched Art Deco apart with pool and garden
Loved staying in this gorgeous apartment. I came for a little writing-retreat and it was the perfect place to get work done whilst also feeling relaxed and comfortable. There are lovely green spaces nearby to go for walks/runs, and Potts Point is just a wonderful place to explore. There was an issue with the buildings hot water while I was there, but Janai did everything possible to keep me updated and give me alternative options too. Overall, a great experience!

Central three bedroom garden retreat
House is great, location is really handy to the city. The back yard is a surprising oasis in the middle of the city.

Palm Pavilion: architectural rainforest retreat
Lovely place with a beautiful outlook! The space was very relaxing and peaceful whilst being quirky and fun at the same time. Would be a really nice place to unwind for a week

Spacious 3 bedroom poolside retreat
We chose Brenda’s place for the location and the access to parking. We always were able to find a parking spot on the street right in front of the house. Easy walk to the beach with a cafe along the way. My family of four were very comfortable in the space. Hosts were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

The Harvey - Architect’s Unique Luxury Home
Stayed here for about 2 weeks and enjoyed every bit of it! In a great area that’s quiet at night and is a short bus ride to the city and bondi/bondi junction as well. Home was clean upon arrival and had no issues during my stay.

2 bedroom house opposite Carriageworks, Newtown.
Our family of four had a fantastic stay at Michael’s house. The location was new to us but had lots of great shopping and eating options and being close to Redfern station made getting into the city a breeze. The house itself is super cute and beautifully presented. A lot of thought has gone into making sure you have everything you’d ever need for a short or long stay, even including a bottle of wine and a packet of tim tams in the fridge. We appreciated Michael meeting us at the house when we arrived to show us around and were especially grateful for his flexibility around check in/out times to fit around our flights. Definitely one of the best all round air bnbs we’ve stayed in.

Story Book Cottage in the Heart of Paddington
We had an amazing stay at Nicole’s place! From the moment we arrived, she went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The house was spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. Nicole’s thoughtful touches, like leaving us food to make our stay even better, truly set her apart as a host. She was kind, responsive, and made sure we felt right at home. If you’re looking for a wonderful place to stay in Paddington with an exceptional host, look no further. We would absolutely stay here again-highly recommend!

Elegant Townhouse Randwick
Well positioned home for access to public transport! Nice home, excellent host!

2 Bedroom Renovated Cottage - 1 Stop to Central
Suzanna's place was situated in a quiet tree lined street. It is a short walk from parks, cafes and restaurants. The house had plenty of living room and good sized bedrooms and bathroom. Communication with the host was very good. I would definitely stay here again.

Centennial Park quiet leafy home/garden near city
Lovely to be close to the amazing shopping and cafes of Bondi Junction as well as in walking distance of Centennial Park. Easy to park, quiet friendly neighbourhood, peaceful lush garden. Stylish and clean, comfortable beds, lots of interesting, quirky and beautiful things to look at. Good quality air conditioners, heaters and fans throughout. We felt right at home here and will definitely come back whenever we travel to Sydney.

Light Filled House in Enmore
Fabulous, spacious home in a great location. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Brendan and Sarah’s home for your next stay in Sydney!

Full AC | Filtered Water/Ice | Keyless | Sound Bar
Looks better in real life than the photos! Beautiful area, walking distance to pretty much everything you need. The place was very clean too. Definitely a great experience, thanks Rua 🙏🏼

Cosy Cottage. 2 Bedrooms. Great location.
We were very comfortable in Melinda’s house. All was as described and more. Everything needed to self-cater was there, and Melinda had left supplies and treats to ensure we were able to move in and immediately feel at home. We found the house to be modern, well appointed, secure, spotlessly clean and with very comfortable bedding. We loved the proximity to great cafes, pubs, supermarkets and the train station, and yet the area was peaceful and quiet. The area is very walkable, so we didn’t need our car. Finding suitable nearby parking for the duration of our stay was simple. Melinda provided clear and timely advice on location/access, and was responsive and clear in communication during our stay. It was clear that Melinda takes care to ensure guests are happy and comfortable. Thank you Melinda, you are a terrific host.

MANLY BEACH HOUSE - 8 min walk to Manly Beach!
Loved my week at Amanda’s. The welcome “weekly shop” (fresh basics + juice) was a lovely touch after a long journey. Quiet street, yet a quick walk to Manly Beach, cafés, and the ferry—perfect spot. Home was spotless, comfy beds, sharp kitchen, bright living space. Amanda’s fast replies and local tips sealed the deal. Five stars.

180 degree ocean views.
Lovely home with all of the creature comforts, amenities & a spectacular view.. right on the Ocean front! Lots of scenic walking trails, and its a short stroll to plenty of cafes.. Cindy was a very responsive, friendly & flexible host.

Terrace House - Carriageworks Caboose
Amazing spot for access to both USyd but short walk to Redfern station and thereafter access to all of the central sites. Highly recommended for a great comfortable and convenient stay

2 bed|2bath house near airport-city-transport.
Absolutely loved our stay! The home was cosy, spotless, and perfect for a relaxing night before heading to the airport. The location was super convenient—just a 12-minute walk to the train station and only 5 minutes to local shops and the bus stop. Everything we needed was close by, making it easy to get around. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

Coastal House Bondi Beach (private car spot)
We loved the location- a couple blocks away from Bondi Beach. The place was clean and beds were comfortable. We appreciated the ability to have a washer for our clothing. The area was nice and quiet.

Australia Architecture Award Winner Heritage House
It was a pleasure to stay in this place, and we were always delighted to return to Frank's place at the end of a long day sightseeing. Situated in a neighborhood full of character, we were impressed with the great restaurants close by. Convenient to supermarkets to stock up for breakfast and other items. Walking to the city was easy...about 15 minutes to Sydney Tower and about 30 minutes to Circular Quay and the Opera House. The property itself is immaculate and spacious with all you need for a comfortable stay. Frank was great to communicate with. Hope to return one day.

Skyline on Forbes - 4 bedroom home Darlinghurst
Beautiful Darlinghurst home. Great, comfortable home for large groups. Host was warm, responsive and accomodating. Location is walkable to Oxford st, Hyde park, and many yummy cafes. View of the city from the terrace is a lovely way to enjoy the city from a more peaceful and spacious home.
