My architect-designed apartment consists of open plan, spacious living areas with plenty of natural light, with a gas fireplace for cosy nights in and a 65inch smart television to chill out in the evening or catch up on the news. There is a private study off the main living area, and I leave a computer available for use there, but of course there is wireless high-speed internet throughout the apartment if you prefer to use your own devices. The bedrooms have overhead fans and plenty of wardrobe space, and there's a bathtub in the ensuite and shower in the guest bathroom. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make anything from toast in the mornings to haut cuisine in the evenings - on the off chance that you've worn out the amazing eateries in the vicinity! Please feel free to message me anytime and once I receive a booking confirmation i will send you my contact details for more direct communications and so that I can be available to assist you during your stay. Access is through a security code, so no need to fuss around with keys. One final note, if you're interested in some sailing or some relaxed cruising and exploring around beautiful Sydney Harbour in real style, I can arrange something suitable either during your stay, or at another time convenient for you; I'm a professional licensed skipper and architect and have spent my lifetime sailing around the world, and can promise you a quite amazing experience that will totally blow you away (pardon the pun)! I really enjoy meeting new people and sharing experiences afloat on one of the best harbours in the world, so please don’t hesitate to ask me for any further information if interested. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the apartment: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the suburbs ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Property does not allow children ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/118000000/117110000/117101000/117100986/19aac2b8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bright 2-Bed Flat with Balcony in Vaucluse Vaucluse - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=117100986&PinnedHotelID=117100986&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, coffee/tea maker](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103110000/103109300/103109245/f20aaae7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### South Head - Premier Penthouse with amazing views of Harbour Bridge, City Skyline and Sydney Harbour Vaucluse - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 8.8 Excellent 3 reviews £295 includes taxes & fees 12 Oct - 13 Oct [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=103109245&PinnedHotelID=103109245&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/83000000/82520000/82510500/82510470/130a9b4e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stunningly renovated Art Deco beachside 2BR apartment with views Rose Bay - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=82510470&PinnedHotelID=82510470&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93660000/93658700/93658656/a72a9ce4.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Superb sun-filled 2BR apartment, family friendly, WiFi, stunning views, walk to beach Bondi - Sea view - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly 9.4 Exceptional 3 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=93658656&PinnedHotelID=93658656&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach nearby](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116780000/116772800/116772761/1b0503b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Curlewis - Walk to beach - New Listing Bondi Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Microwave [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=116772761&PinnedHotelID=116772761&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99570000/99565200/99565181/71ede12c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Elizabeth Bay, Sydney Harbour - Great Views!
