Neighborhood Overview: The beach is at the bottom of the road. Surrounded by golf courses! Malabar is one of Sydney's best kept secrets - quiet beach not far from the city. Gentle waves with no rips so ideal for families and fishermen! There are 3 coffee shops 5 minutes walk away, along with take aways, a couple of restaurants, a convenience store and a pharmacy. There is a children's playground and BBQ area right next to the beach. Coastal Walks around the headland and in surrounding suburbs. Maroubra is a short drive away with another great beach, surfing, and plenty of restaurants. Little Bay & La Perouse are also a short drive or couple of bus stops away with restaurants, take away shops and yet more beaches.
Notes: There is a TV / monitor in the lounge, but no TV channels available. If you have streaming apps on your apple devices (netflix, seven etc) these can plugged into the TV via an HDMI cable. We also have a dog FYI - if this is a problem please contact us prior to booking.
Transit: There are buses from outside the house (number 399), directly into the city, travelling past the beaches, Randwick, Centennial Park and the SCG, ending at Circular Quay. This can take 40 - 50 mins depending upon traffic. There are also frequent buses from Anzac Parade (approx 5- 10 mins walk) to the city and Central Station. These buses take a more direct route and can be a little quicker into the city.
Access: Guests can have free use of the pool and upstairs lounge. Unlimited WiFi for free.
Interaction: This is as much or as little as guests require - we can give advice on how to get around, where to get the best coffee (in our opinion anyway!), the best places to go. Or we can leave you alone to discover Sydney yourselves.
House Rules: - No loud music or parties. As this is our home please respect the property and our neighbours - Please enquire for additional room if you have children (sofa bed)

Reviewer: Carlos
Comments: Great place, location and room. Fiona was a great host and she also let us use a tv room in the second floor. Room and bathroom were clean and we had everything we needed. She provided guidance on public transport and places to visit. Jackson, her dog, is lovely and very calm. We definitely recommend this. place.

Reviewer: Matthew
Comments: Really suited what we needed during our stay in Sydney. Shame we didn't have time to enjoy the local beach. Felt really at home with the top floor at our disposal, to chill and unwind after a day out and about.

Reviewer: Sandy
Comments: Mon copain et moi avons passé un mois chez Fiona. La maison est parfaite, très grande et la chambre se situe au premier étage. Tout était propre, on avait notre salle de bain privée ainsi qu'un balcon et qu'un salon avec TV pour nous. Fiona et Steeve sont des personnes formidables avec qui on peut facilement discuter. Leur chien Jackson est très câlin et super gentil (très sage). Je recommande cette chambre à tout le monde !

Reviewer: Woon Sun
Comments: I chose Fiona’s place because it was near Randwick Golf Course . Steve and Fiona where helpful and accommodating with you feeling obliged to continuously chat. They left us to the upstairs area with privacy yet with the added benefit of being able to reach out downstairs to them when needed

Reviewer: Edwina
Comments: Great location, accommodation and hospitality. Very friendly family and cute dog. Hosts were helpful but not intrusive and made me feel very welcome in their home. I stayed in a lovely, bright bedroom, which was quiet with a very comfortable bed and good amenities. I had a very enjoyable stay and it was a pleasure to meet this host family.
