Beachfront holiday rentals in Watsons Bay

You want to stay here. The Sandstone Cottage has an exceptional view and an ideal location. The dwelling is well maintained, very clean and perfectly serviced. Being able to use the provided water toys and kayaks was a bonus for our kids. We found the Sandstone Cottage to be comfortable because of how familiar everything was to us, and convenient because of how the space was so sensibly laid out. There is beauty inside and outside of this house. It rocks.

This is a beautiful and well appointed apartment in the best location ( North Bondi) - only a five minute walk to the beach and promenade and near many great restaurants and coffee shops. The space is open , clean, and bright with a view of the ocean from the bedroom balcony. We booked a one month stay to visit our son and his family and await the arrival of our first grandson ( he lives on this street). So in addition to the Bondi beauty and convenience, we experienced a special family time. Olenka is an amazing host - always supportive, responsive and helpful. When she asked if we needed anything and we asked for more hangers and a door stopper , she had them delivered to us by the next day ( and added a special treat - Anzac biscuits and Tim Tams!) She responded to any messages we sent within just a few minutes. I recommend this location and host highly and enthusiastically !! Deborah

Had a lovely time. Host was very friendly and the fish and chips are amazing here! Thank you :)

Saul was an excellent host and we enjoyed staying in the apartment which was within a short walk of the Manly ferry complex including restaurants and also access through the Manly Corso to main beach.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Airbnb in Manly Beach! The location is unbeatable—just a short walk to the stunning beach, amazing cafes, and local shops. Waking up to the sound of the ocean and enjoying my morning coffee on the balcony was incredible. The home itself had everything I needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Liz is a fantastic host—super responsive, supportive and friendly. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Australia!

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.

Great stay in this beautiful apartment. Brilliantly located in the heart of Manly. Walking distance to the beach, ferry terminal and all restaurants and bars. Apartment is really well serviced with every amenity you need for a great weekend in Manly. Thanks to our host Kate!

Fantastic location a short stroll to Bronte cafes for breakfast and sea water pool to do some laps. Light and spacious apartment with comfy beds, separate dining and lounge. Anne provided a lovely and much appreciated basket of goodies and early check-in and late check-out to coincide with flights. Highly recommend.

Christian was a great host! He was very responsive and helpful. He provided local recommendations. The apartment is very centrally located and walkable to all the hotspots around Manly. And parking is included, which is hard to find in the area! The place was as described and worked great for what I needed. Thank you, Christian!

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.

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.

Very nice accomodation, super close to everything and was very clean with a great view. Would definitely stay again!

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!

We really enjoyed Christian’s place. Unbeatable location, right in the heart of Manly. We also rented a car and were pleased the rental came with a car space. We asked for a slightly later checkout and this was accommodated. Also on the day we arrived the apartment was ready for check in early. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Such a great location, so close to the ocean yet private and cosy. Near everything. Excellent

Cute and surprisingly spacious spot in a great location!

Lorena was incredibly kind and patient host. Locked our key inside the place and she very very kindly drove an hour to open the door and was very kind about it. Always responsive and lovely home. Incredibly close to bondi! Definitely recommend.

Absolutely exceeded our expectations. The location is amazing, literally across the road from the beautiful manly beach and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. The apartment itself is even better than the pictures, extremely spacious and comfortable. Also very easy on the eye with designer furniture. Zoe went above and beyond as a host when we left a soggy wetsuit behind and she posted it back to us. Would definitely re book. Thanks Zoe

We enjoyed staying here very much. The apartment is very comfty and very nice located between the two beaches at Manly. Safe and very nice neighbourhood. We also loved the cafes around the corner very much. Very local and very close to Sydney downtown by ferry. Since we do lots of sports this is a very good location and base. Highly recommended

Great hosts. Lovely apartment in a wonderful location, directly across from beach and easy access to public transport and conveniences. The apartment has everything you need for a short stay or even a bit longer.

Thank you Dolores. We really enjoyed our stay in your lovely apartment. It is in a great position in beautiful Manly. Dolores is a very responsive host.

Great location directly across the road from the beach and within the action. A great choice of restaurants, pubs and shops at the door. Coles supermarket a minute’s walk away. The bedroom and bathroom are small but the apartment the equipped with everything you could ever need - a wide range of toiletries, stationery, beach gear, Opal transport cards, yoga mat, milk and wine in the fridge. The easter eggs were a lovely surprise! The bed was comfortable and the bedroom window is double-glazed to block out any noise. The bedroom has an air conditioner. Check in and check out was super easy. Salli gave clear instructions and was responsive.

The home was everything we hoped for and more! Hugo’s hospitality was exceptional—he made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The location is unbeatable: right across from the ferry and in the heart of Manly, with everything just steps away. It was the perfect stay, and we’ll definitely be back! If you’re considering booking this Airbnb, look no further, it’s everything you’re after I assure you!!
