About this property

The Coogee Beach Retreat

This air-conditioned, aesthetic oasis is just far enough back from the cafes, restaurants and beaches to provide a calm environment but near enough to stroll in short minutes to each of them.

Polished floors, stainless steel kitchen, glass tiled bathroom and beautifully appointed features will ensure that you have a restful and enjoyable stay.

There is queen sized bed in each of the two bedrooms and there is plenty of space to spread out and relax in. You can enjoy the light filled, airy attic room or the cool, spacious downstairs back bedroom.

Internet access is provided at the property and included in the quoted tariff.

NB: PLEASE NOTE THAT SMOKING IS NOT PERMITTED WITHIN THE APARTMENT OR ANYWHERE ON THE GROUNDS OF THE BUILDING

Close to all you need

Buses run from the end of the street that can take you all local attractions - city, Bondi Junction, Fox Studios.........

There is a lovely big high definition smart TV to ensure that you can have the big movie or sport fixes that you need in crystal clear vision.

An important part of The Beach Retreat's appeal is its quiet and aesthetic setting so please don't book the property if you plan to have noisy social gatherings as these will mean the termination of booking.

There is an $120 cleaning fee to ensure that each new guest is greeted with a sparkling, fresh experience......

A great option for staying in Coogee

I needed somewhere to crash after a 24hr flight. I wanted to be close to the beach and the coastal walks and restaurants and cafes. This place was quiet and perfect.

Great Place to Stay in Sydney!

We are so glad we stayed here. Not knowing the area, we lucked out to have been able to see the Coogee Beach area and the beach areas of Randwick in addition to downtown Sydney. The public transport was phenomenal and it was easy to get to/from airport, downtown, and almost anywhere else with the light rail and bus systems. Jeremy was a good host and the house was well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen. Groceries are nearby as well as bottle shops and restaurants. The house itself has a charming cottage style and is nicely tucked away behind landscaping, making it feel like your own private getaway. We feel fortunate to have been able to experience Sydney by staying at Jeremy's VRBO.

Best choice for the Sydney area

I was so pleased with our experience at this property. The owner, Jeremy, is extremely accessible for any questions before or during your stay. The unit is cozy but was plenty roomy for our party of four. The kitchen had all we needed to prepare meals each day. The washer and dryer are so helpful so you can pack less for your trip. The best part about the property is the location. Coogee is a fantastic town with a gorgeous beach within easy walking distance of the house. You'll be just minutes away from a grocery store, restaurants, convenience stores, ATM, etc. The bus stop is a one minute walk from the door, and buses run so regularly that we never waited more than a few minutes to get into the city. This seemed like the perfect balance between being close to everything in Sydney, but having the benefit of a quaint beach town feel. Without a doubt, I would book this property if returning to the area.

Excellent!!

We thoroughly enjoyed are stay at the Coggee Beach retreat! It was so close to everything. The public transit was super easy to travel on. Markets and restaurants near by. Washing machine was huge plus as we were on 2nd part of our trip. Water pressure for shower was great as well as plenty of hot water. Jeremy was also very helpful with questions we had. Another great resource close by was the Crowne Plaza Hotel concierge desk. Overall a fantastic stay and would recommend this cottage!

Great Apt and location in Coogee

We had a great stay in the Coogee Beach Retreat. It was the perfect apartment for my family (myself, husband and teenage son) as the location is excellent - just a short walk to Coogee restaurants and beach as well as to a bus stop into Sydney CBD. We also wanted to be close to UNSW since we were visiting our son who attends the university and this location worked out very well. Jeremy is a terrific host - very responsive prior to and during our stay. The apartment was clean, had all the supplies we needed including shampoo and soaps and had good WiFi. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for a great Coogee stay, Jeremy!

Excellent location & very accomodating host!

We had a great stay at Coogee beach. The location is very convenient; close to the beach and just a few steps from the bus straight to CBD. The host, Jeremy, has been extremely accommodating, flexible and helpful. We were able to leave our bags while sightseeing which made our trip much more enjoyable. The accommodation is quiet and relaxing, had a great time. Thank you!

Great location

Great place to stay, but it needs to be sound proofed as you could hear the neighbours. Was lovely sitting on the deck, and being able to walk down to the beach and shops was a real plus.

Great location

Loved our few days at Beach Retreat in Coogee Very convenient to shops restaurants and beach. However did feel a little restricted regarding the neighbours and keeping noise down. Key safe awkward but Sussed it out in the end. I would say it would be hot in the summer especially upstairs. The fan did not work well. Apart from these minor problems I would recommend The Beach Retreat

Would recommend

We enjoyed our stay at beach retreat. Really easy access to the bus stop (just at the top of the street 1min walk) then one bus right into the city/ circular quay) And a nice walk down to the beach and children's play park. My only negative was that you can here movement from the other units around, but that's it. Port-a-cot and high chair included. Heater makes it nice and cosy too.

Excellent Stay

A great apartment. Plenty of space within the Bedrooms and just enough for four in the living area. A nice quiet location so don't be expecting to party on the premises. Googee is an easy short walk from the place and the Bus to Sydney Centre is at the road. Would definitely recommend and stay again if in the area.
