Bondi Views, Stunning Reviews, The Perfect Escape From Lock-Down Blues

NO, NOT ALL VRBO ACCOMMODATION IS THE SAME.

Come and see why!

Our Studio is a small yet stunning and beguiling retreat, a blissful sanctuary with beautiful ensuite and separate kitchenette. It is a rare luxurious haven in quiet North Bondi, high on a hill, with your own private inclinator (lift) which takes you to your home in Sydney. We are totally quiet and secluded, located away from the hustle and bustle of Bondi Beach, yet we are just a gentle 10 minute walk away. And you have ample guaranteed parking. Remember that parking in the Bondi Beach area is very very difficult unless expressly offered, and it is very very expensive.

We go out of our way to make our guests feel at home and many of our bookings are now repeat guests whom we delight in welcoming over and over again.

We invite you to experience our hospitality.

SUMMARY POINTS:

Our contemporary stunning Studio retreat, high on hill offering spectacular views
* Your own inclinator (lift) which takes you up to your holiday home
* Close to Shuk Cafe - one of Bondi's trendiest eateries
* Cafes, medical facility, laundry, convenience store, pharmacy, bottle shop 3 mins walk
* Extensive transport 1 min away to city & trains
* Gentle walk to Bondi Beach area, with lots of restaurants
* Quiet highly sought-after location, surrounded by greenery and birds
* Free unlimited street parking
* Local SIM
* Free unlimited super fast, NBN high speed WiFi
* Free unlimited movies (Netflix)
* Free unlimited YouTube viewing
* Free 47 channel f-t-a service provided
* Free unlimited music streaming through sophisticated Sonos equipment
* Superior outfit, HDTV, coffee-machine, blade-less fan

WE ARE STRICTLY, NON-SMOKING/NON-VAPING, ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY.

Our views are spectacular and although you don't have views from your Studio, when coming up to the Studio, we have stunning, amazing, 270 degree views of Bondi Beach and further, all the way round to the city. From your Studio, you do not look onto a mass of other properties and flats. You are surrounded by plush greenery all around your patio.

We warmly invite you to experience our unique hospitality but you have to book well in advance since we are booked out most of the time.

OUR EXTRAS

We offer a range of distinctive facilities not usually offered by other listings.

How would you like to arrive with pre-paid public bus/train cards all ready to use? We have cards here waiting for you because no public transport accepts cash anymore. We can even mail you cards so you have them on arrival here in Sydney.

Local cellphone number? Either buy your own simcard at the airport (about $20 for talk time and data), or rent ours for $10 for the duration of your stay. If you come from a country with a different system, we can offer you a phone with local number and access to data and internet for your whole stay.

Netflix, WiFi, Sonos System with Spotify unlimited music selection.

Umbrellas in case of rain? Yep.

TRANSPORT
Is fantastically simple - Bus 379 is 2 minutes from the Studio and it gets you to the city in about 25 minutes. The Metro (train service) is 15 minutes from the Studio, also on bus 379. In addition, and there are several other bus lines just 4 minutes away too!

NEW NEW. Thanks to the adventurousness of one of our guests, there is a gorgeous and easy and picturesque way to get to the city. Take bus 380 (4 minutes away) to Watson's Bay, then take the FERRY to Circular Quay in the city, taking in the sights of Sydney's East and the Harbour and the Bridge, and the Opera House, all from the ocean.

PARKING. And if you are coming by car, there is ample unlimited, unmetered parking right outside the Studio at all times of the day or night. This is one of our main attractions. Parking in Bondi Beach proper is very very expensive and very very difficult to find and there you can expect to spend considerable time just finding a parking spot and be prepared to walk a considerable distance back to your accommodation there.

AMENITIES NEARBY
There is a laundry service, convenience store, pharmacy, medical facility, Vintage Cellars and several trendy wonderful cafes/eateries, all less than a 5 minute stroll away.

Bondi Beach promenade, which is full of restaurants, supermarkets, bars etc is just an 10 minute stroll away. The choice of restaurants is staggering, with all cuisines catered for, from magnificent formal sit-down eateries, to take away specialities. Asian, Australian, French, Mediterranean, Middle-Eastern eateries abound just off the beach - choose your pick!

Summary
Our Studio is small & contained, a single large room with separate well-appointed bathroom & separate small but lovely kitchenette. People have found it perfect as holiday accommodation especially since guests come to Sydney to get out a lot and eat out a lot. Small as we are, we are exquisite, of the highest quality, in a modern, very upmarket and highly sought-after area, with beautiful finishes and attention to detail. We are surrounded by magnificent and graceful homes, and plush greenery and absolute quiet and tranquility awaits you when you come back home after touring. Our ambience and modern tasteful finishes will spoil you and a heavenly shower with an enormous shower-head is the piece de resistance.

Expect bird symphonies mornings and evenings, with colourful parakeets, impudent cockatoos, and curious kookaburras all announcing their presence.

I take great pride in my engagement with hosting and I normally go out of my way to ensure that guests have all their reasonable needs met.

TRANSPORT FROM THE AIRPORT
We are about 25 minutes away from the airport by car and there is ample unlimited, unmetered street parking in front of the Studio when you get here. This is a BIG plus - ample unlimited unmetered street parking. Remember that parking in Bondi Beach proper is expensive and very difficult to find. You might spend a long time finding a parking place and you may have to walk quite far to find it in the first place.

Public transport is very very quick and easy. Take the airport train to Central Station (about 25 minutes). Then another train (on platform 24) to Bondi Junction (about 12 minutes). Then take bus 379 From Bondi Junction Train Station to North Bondi and get off corner Hardy Street and Murriverie Road (15 minutes).
Walk one block up Hardy and first right into Clyde Street - about 300 metres up the road.

THERE IS A CLOSER BUS STOP, ONLY 1 MINUTE AWAY FROM THE STUDIO, but I'll explain where when you get here, for you to use in future.

Door to door from the airport by public transport is usually less than 1 hour.
Airport pickup is possible but needs arranging beforehand.

ACCESS TO YOUR HOLIDAY HOME
From the road to the house, you enter via the inclinator (lift) - your own private funicular car - or by stairs (which is what we usually use). You then have your private access to the Studio via your own private courtyard. This private courtyard is shared with guests from our adjacent sister suite, but from our experience over the last 3 years, guests very very rarely bump into one another.

INTERACTION WITH GUESTS
I'm known as a friendly and easy going person (I hope I am – I work as a psychotherapist), and I’m usually happily available for assistance or advice if needed. When guests have asked for anything, I have gone out of my way to accommodate them. I’m sometimes available for a coffee and a chat - with suggestions on where to go and what to do, but if guests want privacy, I totally stay away from any interaction.

GENERAL
Nothing else to note really. Easy transport (bus 379, which is just 90 seconds away, which goes to the city), wonderful amenities just minutes away, and beach beach and sun and walks and excitement. And parking (yes, I'm stressing that).

OUR NEIGHBOURHOOD
North Bondi is very trendy and we are about 3 minutes away from one of the newest and trendiest coffee shops and eatery around, SHUK, always full and alive and exciting. It is a very safe area from a personal safety and theft point of view. In 20 years, we have never had an incident and personally, we often go out and leave out house unlocked. BUT WE ARE OBLIGED TO ASK YOU TO TAKE ALL PRECAUTIONS AND LOCK YOUR DOOR WHENEVER YOU DO GO OUT. We accept no responsibility for any loss or damage of whatsoever nature.

North Bondi is different from Bondi Beach inasmuch as guests have a choice of a quiet stay, or whether they want to be part of the very lively and noisy Bondi Beach scene, just minutes away. So if you might want solitude and quiet, our place is for you. And if you want the excitement of Bondi Beach, remember it is about 8 minutes walk to the beach strip, where you will find restaurants, bars and entertainment galore.
For even more variety, take bus 379, seconds away, to Bondi Junction which is an important hub in the Eastern Suburbs, with numerous supermarkets, department stores, eateries, bars, entertainment, cinemas and so on.
From Bondi Junction Train Station, you can get to almost anywhere in the greater Sydney area via the Underground/Train service

Bus 379 which runs every 10 minutes, is just 90 seconds away from your Studio. It routes to the city via Bondi Junction Train Station.
From Bondi Junction Train Station, you can get to almost anywhere in the greater Sydney area via the Underground/Train service.

Michael was fantastic from the moment we booked his place. He provided constant communication and actually did some research on car rentals for me. He was super during our entire 3 week stay. He met us as soon as we got there and checked on us the next day that everything as good and throughout our stay I highly recommend this place it is so close to Bondi Beach, shopping and public transportation. When we return to Australia we will definitely stay here again. Michael and Gill are the true meaning of Super Hosts!!!

North Bondi escape
Convenient studio room away from the frenzy of Bondi but still within reach of the beach and an easy bus-ride from Bondi Junction and the city. Michael is an attentive host and if 65 access steps are a problem, a small funicular is available. Only shame is that there is no view once you have reached your room!

Great stay..could not have been better
I would recommend Mr. Cohn as a host everyday. He was superb. He helped us figure out getting our laundry done since we had been on vacation for 14 days already. He helped us with Opal cards and suggested places to eat that were excellent. We got to visit a bit and he is very good company. A perfect place to stay. The room is very adequate in size and the bed firm. There are amenities there to be used and the place was very clean. I can't say it enough but we had a great stay here and if we ever get to come back we hope we can stay here again.

Serene & comfortable location in beautiful North Bondi
Perfect location to explore lovely Sydney & the coastal beach towns. Host Michael is attentive, friendly & helpful. I spent 5 days exploring downtown Sydney (ferries are a great way to get there!), Bondi Beach to Coogee, Paddington, & Manly. Studio & courtyard are quiet, modern & comfortable, & views from the front of the house are stunning. The neighborhood is safe & fun, with all amenities nearby. Highly recommend for singles or couples, & I hope to return sometime soon!

Michael runs a very polished, professional and personalised place. The unique studio space was fabulous for our weekend base in Sydney with a car.

Terrific Bondi Beach Views in great Neighborhood Location
This was our first trip to Sydney and we booked this lovely studio for five nights based on the other great guest reviews of the property, the location and of Michael, our host. Our expectations were exceeded! We were greeted by Michael, on arrival, who provided us with Opal Cards that can be used on all transit in Sydney. He was very helpful with our questions and provided suggestions on sight seeing and getting around Sydney. One very memorable day there was based on Michael’s suggestion to take the ferry to Watson Bay and then on to Manly Beach. We may not have gone otherwise and so glad we did - for the views from the ferry of Sydney Harbor and time spent at Manly Beach was terrific! Michael provided us with some basic amenities for the studio to get us started - coffee, milk, etc. The studio also exceeded our expectations. It was private also everything was very clean and new - bathroom, kitchenette, nice writing desk. Also, table and chairs on a porch - all behind his larger home - so seemed very private. For those interested in seeing the North Bondi Beach neighborhood, this is a great place to stay. Bus service is frequent, and it is just a few short blocks from Bondi Beach yet private and far enough away so that it is quiet at night - in a neighborhood of lovely homes and condos. There are also a multitude of coffee shops, small groceries and restaurants within walking distance. With the frequent bus and ferry service, we were able to get around Sydney very easily. We highly recommend this special place to anyone interested in staying in Sydney in a lovely neighborhood with a very congenial host. Dean and Christine G.
