Neighborhood Overview: The area has lovely tree lined streets and there is lots of native bird life. Miranda is a suburb in southern Sydney, located 24 kilometres south of the Sydney central business district. You can look up local information on the internet for 'CRONULLA' + 'Royal National Park' to see some of the excellent Tourist Attractions nearby. The 'Sutherland Shire' is one of the cleanest, safest places to live in Sydney. The area is full of trees and therefore native birds. As this is a residential area, it is less cluttered than the city area. Parks and bushland are in close proximity to Miranda, so when you are back from exploring Sydney, you will be able to relax in peace. Miranda also has a huge shopping centre on The Kingsway. There's a smaller shopping centre with a Superbarn supermarket and various grocery shops located in Gymea right near the train station. Cronulla Beach – famous and only 5km drive away or a 7 mins train away Bundeena Ferry Ride – from Cronulla railway you can catch a fe

Reviewer: Justin
Comments: Rhonda welcomed me into her home with open arms from the very start. She went above and beyond to make my stay with her truly an unforgettable one. I felt like I found a home away from home when staying in her granny flat. She is a very kind woman who will make you feel comfortable and at peace when staying at her home, giving you a chance to really experience what Australian hospitality is truly like. She was helpful in guiding me towards the shopping center as well as highlighting the bus schedule for me, which definitely came in hand. I can't say enough about her and the willingness of help she gives. Whether it's locating sights to see, helping with jobs, or just making you feel safe and at home while staying with her you cannot go wrong choosing Rhonda when looking for accommodation. The area is pleasant, quite, and beautiful. It's very close to the shops and train station, there is also a bus stop outside the house across the street. Not only is Rhonda a gem but her son is very kind and helpful as well. Honestly if you're going to stay in the Shire of Sydney, Australia and you want to save cash doing so while getting a remarkable aweinspiring experience Rhonda's lovely granny flat is the way to go. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

Reviewer: Todd
Comments: Rhonda was very welcoming happy to have a chat or let you do your own thing. The house, gardens and neighbourhood was very nice like a real b&b not just a place to stay. Nice and close to shops and not too far from cronulla beach. I would recommend.

Reviewer: Nathan
Comments: Staying with Rhonda was brilliant, I honestly couldn't have asked for more. She was always really welcoming and I felt really comfortable staying there. The room I stayed in was great, I had my own little area which I really appreciated. Everything felt really homely which I really liked. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay in the south Sydney area.

Reviewer: Steve
Comments: My experience at Rhonda's place was amazing. Rhonda is super nice, friendly, kind and easy going. She will do anything for you and can provide heaps of insider knowledge on Sydney and surrounds. The granny flat style accommodation is perfect, chocolates on arrival, little sops and shampoo to use, super comfy bed, nice sheets, everything you could ask for. Miranda is a lovely suburb that is very safe and family friendly, nice big trees with lots of birds, close to transport and shops and not far from the beach either if you have a car. I could not recommend highly enough for anyone visiting Sydney to stay at Rhonda's house, you won't regret it!

Reviewer: Joanne
Comments: I drove down from Qld for the NRL grand final and found Rhonda and her family to be warm, friendly and generous hosts. They added little touches, like the care pack and the local information in the cosy granny flat, and I felt instantly at home. We had dinner at a local cafe on Friday night, and the food and company were great! The street and yard are very pretty with lots of trees and birds. I would definitely recommend this little piece of heaven, and would definitely come back!

Reviewer: Jase
Comments: Thank you Rhonda, you provided a great experience and the reason why I did not chose a local hotel or other accommodation. You made me feel very welcome in your home and I enjoyed staying there. Your hospitality was second to none and I would love to come back and stay next time I am up that way. Thanks again, and best wishes for you and your family.

Reviewer: Lucy
Comments: I had the most wonderful stay with Rhonda and her family. It was my first time in Australia and I was quiet anxious to arrive. But straight away I met Rhonda and she showed me round where I was living, and the local places in the area. The location was perfect, I walked approximately 15 minutes everyday to Westfields where the bus stops/train station are located. It's a 7 minute train journey to Cronulla beach too. Westfields has every shop you'd ever need and some lovely food places. I felt extremely welcome and comfortable throughout my stay, I can't thank them enough!

Reviewer: Kim
Comments: Rhonda has a lovely home , great location, Rhonda is a beautiful host
-
Reviewer: Melissa
Comments: Welcoming and friendly hosts; quiet, comfortable and tidy room – I would recommend Rhonda's place to anyone looking for simple and spacious digs. With the bus right by the door, take advantage of being off the main road to enjoy leafy surrounds and a restful night's sleep – and still only minutes from shopping or to hop on the train to the beach or city. I had a lovely stay, and wouldn't hesitate to book with Rhonda again.

-
Reviewer: Blake
Comments: I cannot recommend Rhondas place highly enough. I was in Miranda on my own for a National Bodybuilding Competition. Rhonda, who had no idea of the processes involved from competitors standpoint was just so accommodating and open. Nothing was an issue or to much trouble for her. Rhonda has an outstanding understanding of the local area and anything you may need to make your stay that much more seamless. If I could give more stars I would. . Thank you Rhonda for all you did for me especially in the last day when tge logistics of my return flight etc fell into a heap ....

Reviewer: Tanya
Comments: This was fantastic value for a super quick stay in Miranda. Great privacy, easy to get to and Rhonda was fantastic to communicate with. Would recommend. :)

Reviewer: Roshan
Comments: Rhonda was an incredibly kind and thoughtful host. She went the extra mile to ensure I was well looked after and was comfortable with my stay. I had an early departure flight and was up at 4am, but so was Rhonda as there was a power cut in the night in Sydney and she was concerned that my alarm clock may have reset! Very thoughtful.. Her home and the sleep out with great privacy for us guests was nice and spacious, very well maintained, nicely scented and very comfortable. Gymea is a great wee part of Sydney with good vibes, great people and offers a side of Sydney very different if travellers have only encountered the commercialness of the CBD/Darling Harbour etc. This was one of the best Airbnbs I have ever stayed at and will continue to use each time I attend transformative workshops in Gymea - Thanks Rhonda!

Reviewer: Jo
Comments: Rhonda is a "super host" in every sense of the word. Welcoming, thoughtful, relaxed and has great taste in music & movies! I was able to cook myself a meal in her kitchen, even though Rhonda was in the midst of cooking for herself and her son ...... nothing was too much trouble. Then after we'd eaten, we settled in to her warm cosy loungeroom to watch a movie. There's a nice sunny outdoor table and chairs to eat breakfast at and the sparkling clean bathroom & toilet were easy to access from the unit, even in the middle of the night. A 5-star experience at a very reasonable rate!

Comments: Sadly, I didn't get to meet Rhonda, as our schedules were opposite, but she was very communicative during the check-in process. The flat was lovely – the perfect escape from the city, that I very much needed. Everything was incredibly clean and the bed was very comfortable. For such an affordable rate, I would definitely recommend Rhonda's flat to others.
