Coogee stay

Had a great time at this studio apartment. It’s well kitted out with everything close by. Lots of walkable places to eat and great beach. It’s on a slight hill but very manageable.

Very comfortable accommodation, close to absolutely everything.

Tracy and Deyan are great hosts and have an eye for detail. The space is a generous size and very comfortable, fantastic shower, not even 5 mins walk from Coogee Beach. The area is very eclectic and has a myriad of dining options to suit all budgets, or just eat in at one of the gorgeous alfresco areas at your accommodation. Easy access to the city. Highly recommend this place.

Living the Beach Life

Three things make Kookaburra Down Under a standout. 1. The location so close to Coogee’s beach, ocean baths, restaurants and cafes. 2. The cool calm privacy of the large ground floor flat with its zoned lighting that spotlights spaces as if you had separate rooms. The flat’s whitewashed walls made me feel as if I was in a villa in the Greek isles. There is no view, 3. however you can use the brilliant deck, above the street level, for your outdoor space as well as a lush back garden. The deck is screened by palms, swept by ocean breezes; an outdoor living room w a glimpse of the sea and the chatter of local birds (rainbow lorikeets, I’m looking at you). It’s also a place to chat w your hosts and other guests which I appreciated as a solo traveler. Tracy is a laid back, responsive and helpful host who lives with her family on the floor above (you will hear footsteps - human and canine.) The flat’s kitchen is exceptionally well equipped w a good starter pantry. The bathroom is big enough to be a bedroom (as it once was) and for couples, the laundry has a second sink and toilet. I slept well in the huge king bed. The flat looks just like the photos but they don’t completely convey how very comfortable you will be here.

Great location, cute unit!

Excellent location. Once parked you don’t need your car; beach, cafes/restaurants, bars & supermarket are all within walking distance. Unit is well equipped with comfortable bed & pillows. Smart TV with Foxtel as well. My only disappointments was the parking and the noise from upstairs that filters through. You can hear wallking and the floorboards squeeking. You can also hear when they shower. With regard to parking, you have to park in certain streets that have all day parking on one side of road only, so we drove around in circles for 20mins then walked 300m with luggage. My suggestion would be to park across their driveway and unpack then go find parking. Then do the same when departing. Overall experience was enjoyable and owners were welcoming.

Great beach Location

Enjoyed our stay at Coogee. We were out and about a lot of the time either going into Sydney or down at Coogee beach. Buses were handy and we could catch the Light rail into town from nearby Randwick. Accomodation was good for 2 people. The accomodation was quiet and well equipped and hosts were helpful.

Home Away From Home

From start to finish, Tracy and Deyan were quintessential hosts. Their cute studio apartment was perfect for our 8 nights in Sydney, a five-minute walk to Coogee Beach and transit. The apartment had everything we'd need and was very comfortable. We'll definitely stay again if they'll have us!

Location is perfect but the small touches make it special

Beautifully decorated with original art n textured white walls that show it off, s one big room studio with several nooks that define spaces within spaces, all the utensils and extras one would put in if it were your own home including toiletries. Tracy lives upstairs and was instantly responsive to any questions or requests. This was our home for close to two weeks and will be again the next time we travel to Australia.

Beautiful property and cozy apartment

Kookaburra Down Under is a beautiful apartment ideally located near Coogee Beach. It was spotless and was equipped with all that we needed for our stay. Our host was prompt in her communications, gracious, and very welcoming. The apartment is also close to the major transit lines that allowed us to travel easily around beautiful Sydney. We would highly recommend Kookaburra Down Under for a stay in Sydney.

We stayed in the single bed apparent that was warm, homely, clean with a quirky design that beats a sterile hotel room any day. Close to all the action of Coogee. The owners are very friendly and welcoming.
