Maur was a lovely and caring host. I would recommend staying with Maur and her family if you are looking for a private space with ensuite and a little kitchenette. It also has its own private entrance at the front of the property, so it is very easy to come and go as you please. It was really nice to sit in the front room as it warm and sunny. The only thing I could recommend is maybe some soundproofing around the door connecting through to the house, but otherwise a great stay. I would recommend this home to any traveler/student looking for a place to stay in Randwick.

Maur's accomodation is really comfortable and very well located. There is a direct bus to the airport and to the city center, with only a few minutes walking. Moreover, it is close to the beach and the shops. She and her family were extremely nice, they will do anything so that you feel comfortable. I really enjoyed my stay there, so do not hesitate to spend a few nights at her home!

I went to Sydney for an internship at UNSW and was therefore searching for a place to stay near uni, but still near the beach. So this location was perfect for me. It is a 15 minutes walk to Coogee beach and a 20-30 minutes walk to UNSW (depending on upper or lower campus). The house has several bus stations nearby with buses driving you directly to railway station, circular quay, maroubra, eastgardens,...And you can reach Randwick junction by a 15 minutes walk with a shopping centre, many restaurants, chemists, Woolworths and Coles. The house itself has a private entrance, a bedroom, an ensuite bathroom and a kitchenette, so basically everything you need is your own. I was searching exactly for something like this because I prefer living on my own without sharing kitchen, bathroom etc. with flatmates. You barely find something similar there (above all if it is a short term stay), so this kind of accommodation is pretty unique. The rooms were very tidy and Maur thought of everything you would possibly need! She and her family were the best hosts I could imagine - very very friendly and very very helpful. They always made sure that I have everything I need and that I'm feeling good there. I really loved my stay there and it felt like home. So if you are searching for something for your own, I highly recommend this. You won't find something similar with such a great location and such great neighbours.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
