Bondi Beach House

"Bondi's Best-Kept B&B Nestled among palms and frangipani (plumeria) trees is a secret B&B tucked just far enough away from the bustle of Bondi Beach. This former schoolhouse is tastefully adorned with antiques and Australian works of art and consists of three suites, four doubles, and two single rooms—one being a stand-alone unit situated off the back garden. The Lotus Suite (pictured) features French doors as well as a kitchenette and dining area. Otherwise, there's a shared kitchen, dining room, front and back patios, and free wi-fi, which is surprisingly hard to come by in Sydney ."

Bondi Beach House | Best places to stay in Sydney

"Dating back to the 1950s this small guesthouse has welcomed visiting artists, writers, world travellers and the occasional movie star over the years. Located at the southern end of Australia’s most famous beach, the property offers just five immaculate, sun-drenched suites. Although compact, the guest rooms are superbly equipped with luxurious beds, Smart TVs and modern ensuite bathrooms. Guests also enjoy a breakfast selection of tea, coffee, waffles, jams and organic muesli. It’s a homely, relaxed place to stay, that’s all about location – just 200m from Bondi Beach, and sufficiently set back from the hubbub. But remember, Bondi is far removed from Sydney’s main sights – this is not the place if you’re coming for sightseeing. Stay here if you want to spend your days on Bondi’s iconic beach, with its buzzing beach lifestyle, world-class swimming and surfing, and a magical coastal walk. " - Mark Chipperfield
