Bondi Studio - 2 Min Walk to Beach, Full Kitchen, AC, Sleeps 4

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: This is budget accommodation. It's priced for guests who put location first and are happy with simple, no-frills facilities. It books regularly, so if you're expecting a polished, hotel-style stay, it probably isn't for you. If you book and end up unhappy, neither of us wins. So if you're on the fence, please leave it for a more price-conscious traveller.

THE STAY: The studio is simple and no-frills, and it's cleaned and made up fresh before every stay.

A flat 2 minute walk from Bondi Beach - the perfect base for exploring Sydney's most iconic stretch of coastline.

This is an old Bondi apartment, not a hotel: expect real character over polish, and great value over luxury. Guests consistently rate the location as unbeatable.

It is one open-plan room - there is no separate bedroom. Sleeps up to 4: a queen bed plus a pull-out sofa bed (most comfortable for two; when extended the sofa bed fills most of the floor space). Self check-in is by lock box, so you can arrive on your own schedule.

THE SPACE
Living and sleeping: one open-plan room, no separate bedroom. Queen bed, pull-out sofa bed and a TV.

Getting here: Sydney Airport (SYD) is about 13 km away - 25-40 minutes by taxi or Uber, typically A$60-85 depending on traffic, tolls and time of day. By public transport it is about A$20 - T8 Airport line to Central, change to the T4 towards Bondi Junction, then the 333 or 380 bus to Bondi Beach (60-90 minutes).

Check-in is from 3pm and we are not able to offer early check-in - the apartment is being cleaned right up to then. There is no latest arrival time, so you can arrive as late as you like. Entry is by lock box with a physical key inside, not a smart lock, and we send you the code, the floor and full directions before you arrive. Wi-Fi is included at around 25 Mbps.

There is no reception and nobody on site to meet you - check-in is entirely self-service. Please make sure you know which building, entrance and floor you are heading to before you travel, as no one can let you in on arrival. We send the exact address, the floor, where the lock box is and full directions in advance.
