Our small 2 bedroom Bondi apartment is a short 10 minute walk downhill to either Bondi Beach or Tamarama beach. Our balcony has expansive ocean and district views facing south – a perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast or an evening drink.
Our apartment is ideally suited for a couple. However, it might also be suitable for up to two couples, or one couple with another adult or with one teenage child. The apartment includes a:
* modern fully equipped kitchen (with oven, cooktop, microwave, and dishwasher);
* small internal laundry (with washing machine and clothes dryer);
* large open plan dining and living area (with access to the balcony via large glass doors);
* large main bedroom (with queen bed and small ensuite);
* small second bedroom (with a sofa that converts to a comfortable queen bed); and a
* main bathroom (with separate bath and shower).
Our apartment is in a small block of seven apartments and is located on the third floor. There is no lift in the building. Unfortunately, as our apartment with open balcony is on the third floor, it is not suitable for small children (or pets) or for people who would find the three flights of stairs difficult. The building is a non-smoking building – smoking is not permitted in the apartments, on the apartment balconies, or in the building common areas.
Bondi Beach (to the north) and Tamarama beach (to the south) are an easy 10 minute walk downhill – be prepared to take a little longer to walk back home up the hill. The safe swimming areas at Bondi Beach are another 10 minute walk along the beach – it is always best to swim at the patrolled areas between the red and yellow flags.
Bondi Beach provides access to magnificent coastal walks. The coastal path south continues for about 6kms to Coogee. The coastal path north continues for about 5km to Watsons Bay at the south head of Sydney Harbour. In fact, you can follow the marked coastal paths from Bondi all the way around the harbour to Manly – a total of about 80kms, which can easily be done as multiple small walks.
Our apartment is only a few hundred metres from Bondi Road which has multiple cafe and restaurant options offering good quality casual dining. Of course there are many more dining options at Bondi Beach – many with beach and ocean views.
Bondi has easy public transport access to the city and all its attractions. The main bus stop is 350 metres from the apartment – the main 333 public bus runs every 5 to 10 minutes throughout the day and evening and takes about 45 minutes to the final stop at Sydney’s Circular Quay (for the opera house and harbour ferries). Alternatively, the Sydney train network can be accessed from Bondi Junction (less than a 30 minute walk or 10 minute bus ride). If you do decide to hire a car, our apartment has its own lock up garage. Please note that the garage is more suitable for a small car – on street parking in the area is limited.
Our planned European holiday in 2020 was cancelled due to the pandemic. We are now planning an extended European holiday in the northern hemisphere summer of 2023. We are particularly interested in visiting the UK and Ireland but may consider other destinations in western Europe. We are interested in a non simultaneous classic swap and we are open to the possibility of making our Bondi apartment available anytime expect when marked as unavailable in the calendar. We are also open to the option of a points swap for our Bondi apartment.
