Great place to stay

My wife and I stayed here recently for a whole month and we found that for a one bedroom apartment was perfect. It’s really spacious and gave us everything we needed for our stay and there were some nice touches from the hosts to welcome us and plenty of everything we needed for a prolonged stay. Great place, great location would happily stay here again. Only negative comment would be that the lift was out of action for the entire month but that is hardly the fault of the host. Thanks for a great stay.

A perfect spot!

My wife and I stayed at the Garden Retreat for a month while exploring Sydney and visiting some family. We felt very safe in Bondi Junction. The location is close to bus and train transportation that services all the key sights to see. We were very comfortable in our apartment and it had all the amenities to make our months stay perfect! We strongly recommend the Garden Retreat to all our Canadian friends!

2-month stay near Bondi Junction

This one-bedroom apartment is tucked away off a main road near the heart of Bondi Junction. It was a haven, with a peaceful courtyard rimmed by green shrubs and some potted plants and small patch of lawn. The only noise came early on Thursday mornings when the rubbish was cleared. The place itself was of a very high standard, with most things working well. When there were difficulties, the attentiveness of the managing staff (Dale) was impressive. A 9-day Telstra-related wi-fi drama notwithstanding, she had the issues rectified promptly. It was expensive, but secluded and peaceful, protected from the sometimes bustling activity on the road outside and the two Italian restaurants opposite were excellent in their own way, particularly if arriving home late on a Friday evening. The dishwasher, washing machine/ dryer, shower, and fridge were all in excellent condition. The water did take about 2 minutes to run in, in the morning, but it did come. Other thoughts: Good: It was a seven-minute drive to Bondi Beach, the underground carpark was excellent, the proximity to Bondi Junction with transport and shopping often helped, and the TV and associated options were superior. The heating and cooling when (occasionally) needed were excellent. Ditto with the barbecue outside. Cooking utensils were adequate. Could be Better: The bedroom needed screening (internal blind) from the outside stairway & the main room might benefit from some additional sun protection as it quickly got hot.
