If you are looking for a place to stay within the Sydney environs, and want good quality at a reasonable price, then Helen`s B & B is the place for you. It is so stylish and modern, right on the waterfront with a panoramic view around the whole bay as far as the eye can see. Helen is just the... More

We stayed with Helen for three great nights in early February this year. We were over in Sydney for our wedding anniversary and Helen made us very welcome and gave us excellent recommendations for local restaurants. We loved the location,especially being able to sit and relax and watch the surfers from the window. We had bad luck with the weather,... More

Helen was friendly and made us very welcome. She gave us full use of the apartment and even baked us a cake!! Helen was out and about a lot of the time so we had the place to ourselves most of the time. Very convenient location which meant car not really necessary as easy to access Sydney via ferry and...

We recently returned from a round the world trip that included an extended stay with Helen at Absolute Beachfront. The accommodation is superb and the host sublime, When offered a chance to extend we immediately accepted and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This was a great way to start our Christmas before moving on to stay with relatives. You can't get... More

Oh wow, didn't we have a lovely time laarffing when we were together. Was more than happy for you to take the credit for the seafood sauce for Christmas, you didn't have to tell the family the truth that it was mine. Thank you for your review, it is very much appreciated. Come back soon. Kind regards, Helen More

Great view, location and host - what more could one want? A lovely way to begin or end a visit to Sydney. Helen is a discrete presence in the apartment, giving guests the feeling that the apartment is theirs for the duration of their stay. More

Arrived to stay at Absolute Beachfront after the first week and a half of our Sydney trip. Helen couldnt have made us more welcome and it was lovely to put down roots for five nights after a fair bit of travelling. The apartment is beautiful, in a really good location - not 10mins walk to the ferry service to Sydney... More

The location of this beautiful apartment is second to none. Views aplenty! We were expecting the apartment to be noisy as it is above shops and we were there at X'mas time. This was surprisingly not the case. Helen is a warm friendly person who has the right amount of presence in the apartment that allows you to feel that... More

An amazing location and warm friendly host. My colleague from Vanuatu loved her stay with Helen and commented on her hospitality and helpfulness. I was hoping that my guest from Vanuatu would have a special experience during her time in Sydney and my expectations of this B&B were more than met. Better than staying in a hotel in the city...
