8. Bright studio in Sydney's northern suburbs
With exposed stone walls, colorful décor, and high sloped ceilings, this studio apartment has the perfect balance of chic and cozy. The apartment has as much privacy as guests desire—it has its own entrance, kitchen, and bathroom, but guests are also welcome to use the beautiful pool and backyard. Located in Pennant Hills, a quiet suburb a half hour north of Sydney, there are plenty of options to get into the city. One of the most iconic sights is just a short drive or public transportation trip away—the Sydney Harbor Bridge. This steel bridge spans the waterway and can be crossed by car, bicycle, or walking. The adventurous can even climb the walkways up the bridge, giving a stunning bird’s eye view of the harbor and Sydney skyline!

10. Beautiful private apartment close to everything
The beautiful home where this rental is located looks more like a luxury resort than a private residence. The stunning outdoor pool is surrounded by plants and a patio, with plenty of seating to enjoy the sunshine. The apartment rental can host up to five guests and has a private entrance. It also has a kitchen, bathroom, and parking options. If you can pull yourself away from the beautiful rental, you’ll find that all the major sights around Sydney are close by! Downtown Sydney can be reached in 30 minutes by car and an hour by public transportation. Several famous beaches—Balmoral, Bondi, and Manly—are all about a half an hour by car too. If you want to see the mountains, the Blue Mountains are only an hour and a half away!

The perfect balance of city and suburb
If the hubbub and expense of staying in downtown Sydney aren’t your travel style, consider basing your stay in Cherrybrook! Though it is a suburb, it’s anything but ordinary, with beautiful homes, lush parks, and easy access to the city and the countryside. Though Australia is a distant destination for most people, staying in one of these Airbnb rentals will make you feel like you’re right at home.
