Homestays in New South Wales, Australia

We had a wonderful stay at Encore Mingara, service was excellent especially from Natalie, who tended to all our needs/enquiries. She was welcoming as were all the other team members that we came into contact with. They have great facilities, pool for adults & families, a gym, restaurants & entertainment, also not far from great shops & beaches. Will definately be back. Thank you.

This hotel is in Newtown where you can enjoy sightseeing. In my opinion, it is very easy to travel from this hotel because there is a bus stop in front of it. Moreover, this hotel has a shuttle bus service which can drop you off at the airport. It’s very comfortable for me. I like it🫶🏼.

An amazing stay in the belle tent. The rooms themselves were lovely, I wish the bathrooms looked a bit nicer but everything else was great! We weren’t able to see the stars from the bed due to moisture on the tent unfortunately, but I guess that’s just luck of the draw.

The room is quite big and there is a small sofa. There are two bottles of milk and two bottles of water in the refrigerator. To be honest, I stayed in so many hotels with similar prices this time, and this one was the only one with water, which made me cry. The entire house is in retro style, and there are fireplaces and sofas in the public areas. However, check-in at the front desk is until 5 pm, and no one will be there any later. I saw that Ctrip showed that it was before 00:00, so I went there after 8 pm, but there was no one there. Later we communicated on the phone, and the key was left in the key box for us. We took the key to the room by ourselves, which was pretty smooth ~ overall very good satisfy

Byron Springs is a delightful older design (think Old Florida/Old QLD) place with whitewashed walls and wooden floors, and an open lounge area set in lush surroundings.  Our room was more than adequate for a one night stay.  The bed & bedding were comfortable.  The room, while small, was fine.  The bathroom had everything we needed. The negatives were we could hear the other guests coming and going, and the wood floors creaked loudly.  One of guests took up 2 parking spots.  Also the toilet in our bathroom ran all night.  We were unable to stop it so we just closed the door to the bathroom. Other than that, we had a nice stay.  Thank you Laura!🤗

We decided to stay here as we had to drop one of our vehicles for a service nearby and we live 96km away, the opposite side of Sydney, which would have involved being stuck in peak hour traffic for a lot of the trip, so instead of it being approx 1hr 45 minutes, it would likely have been about 3 hours! Having decided to travel up and stay nearby it seemed sensible to take a second vehicle so that we had some way of getting around while the other was in being serviced (and we had no idea how long that might take!) On arrival, I asked about parking onsite for the second vehicle and was told in a not particularly pleasant manner that only one vehicle was allowed onsite and we would have to park the other in a street outside the park! Once we were onsite, we found that there was a large carpark just inside the park which was only half full overnight and many vacant tent and caravan spots, as well as the parking outside the studio we had had NO other cars beside ours! There would have been absolutely no reason not to allow us to have our second vehicle within the holiday park, other than blind insistence on following a rule. I can understand that over holiday periods and summer, there would be no room for additional vehicles, however, on a Monday night in winter, this should not have been an issue. If you are travelling with more that one vehicle, I would suggest looking for alternative accommodation, although there does not appear to be much in the way of hotels/motels/caravan parks, etc in this locality.

A whole house, like a villa, the environment is good, it is close to the beach, all indoor facilities are available, super complete, super comfortable. It is worth staying again, the high and low bed can sleep four people, suitable for family living, cost-effective.

Great location, very close to bondi beach, just 5 minutes walk! The service is OK, it may be queued when checking in, after all, it is the place where backpackers gather. It is possible that on the third floor, it is inconvenient to bring a large box. Also, do a very small mental preparation for the room, after all, this price is unlikely to have a lot of room~

Great facilities for kids however this place requires pest control. Ants spiders and even rat poo found inside the cabin. Its quiet disgusting. If you stay in the newer cabins its more enjoyable.

Australian hotels do not come with disposable toothbrushes and toothpaste, as well as slippers and shower caps, but have shampoos and shower gels. Overall clean

The Alison Randwick is centrally located in the Randwick district and is easily accessible by bus or tram. This is a little further away from the city center, but also relatively close to the beaches. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. The accommodation was very clean and modernly equipped. It was the cleanest shared bathroom we have ever had. The rooms are a bit small, but very comfortable. There is a kitchen that you can use at any time, as well as free parking. For us it was a very nice and pleasant stay and we can only recommend the accommodation.

The place was comfortable and good enough for a long stay. Tho the room service don't clean everday but give extra towel good for the next day. Stayed here for a week. Very near to eating places and convenient store. The room was big and bed was comfortable. Very minimalist design, cool. Their shower gel doesn't lather tho. Had to get a different one outside.

Subject: Review of Our Stay at Sunny Rooms Mascot We recently had the pleasure of staying at Sunny Rooms Mascot and wanted to share our experience. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the warm welcome and efficient check-in process. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and well-appointed, providing us with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. The staff at Sunny Rooms Mascot were friendly and accommodating throughout our visit, always ready to assist with any questions or requests we had. The location was convenient for our needs, with easy access to transportation and local amenities. Overall, our experience at Sunny Rooms Mascot was excellent. We would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in the area. Best regards, Roshan Shreesh

It was great! Even though I only understood a little English and it was raining, I still enjoyed myself. The animals were sleeping and the zoo was empty early in the morning, which felt special. But be careful, there are no hair dryers! I was very satisfied with the dingoes, platypuses, wombats and Tasmanian devils in the zoo.

Parking is free, and the car is at the door, which is convenient for loading and unloading luggage. There are independent toilets and bathrooms. Although the room is a little dusty, it is within an acceptable range. The park facilities are rich, and check-in and out are convenient and fast.

I found this place on Instagram and booked it because the botanical interior and atmosphere were so nice! I wanted to go to both the city center and Bondi Beach, so I was right to choose this place! 😆 (However, this location may not be suitable for those who don't want to go to the beach...) There is a shopping mall nearby, so it was not inconvenient! I was alone, so I left my key in the room when I left, but the staff member immediately helped me when I pressed the bell outside, which was very helpful...I'm sorry I had to do it during my off-duty break...🥲Thank you very much! I would like to stay here again if I go to Sydney!

Just next to the beach. Just 10 steps then you can in the sea. The cabin a little bit, the bathroom not very clean.
