Great location on the beach and the apartment was as described.Easy check in and check out.Very clean.Wi- fi was weak and the connection unable to supportFaceTime communications.Would still be very positive about staying at this wonderful place.
Great location, enjoyed the hertiage-style accom, easy access to Collaroy shops and beach. Car parking a bit of a hassle but no clearway on weekends opened up space.
Outstanding location and wonderful hosts.We had a fantastic stay at this beach house in Narrabeen. The location is excellent — it’s just one direct bus ride to Sydney CBD, and the bus stop is conveniently located right below the house, which made getting around incredibly easy, even with kids.The house itself is very comfortable, well laid out, and perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach or exploring the city. The hosts were friendly, responsive, and easy to communicate with throughout our stay.We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable beachside stay with great access to Sydney.
We stayed in Unit 6 and had a lovely stay. The apartment wa clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. The bathroom was small, but the hot water was great. The only downside was finding parking on the street, as it was hard to get a vacant spot on, but overall, we really enjoyed our time here.
We loved the beach front location that allowed for amazing sunrise views over the ocean. We did not need a car because of the super convenient access to public transportation. Property owners/managers were responsive to questions/concerns we had during our visit. Would stay again.
Our stay here was really lovely. It is walking distance to cafes and shops and lovely to wake up and look at the surf every morning. The back yard overlooks the beach and a great place to have coffee or lunch and watch the surfers. The weather and surf conditions weren’t conducive to swim but rock pools and patrolled beaches were close by if the weather is better. On arrival you received a sizeable welcome pack and all detergents, soaps etc were provided. The host also was quick to respond with a heater when we found the reverse cycle unit didn’t work. The only downside is the parking if you have a car, sometimes very difficult to find a spot.
What a beautiful location and a great welcome to our first stay in Australia! Overall I would give 5 stars, but initially we had some communication issues (couldn't get wifi reception) due to using US phones in Australia.
Also, the ocean breeze was so nice so we had the windows open the entire time until we realized that many huge insects (looked like winged daddy long legs) were flying around the kitchen.

Hi Seiko
thanks for your review; just to let you know, we have completely replaced all of the windows and they now have security insect screens, so you are able to leave the window open and not worry about what comes in.
Nabeen is a cute town. The Coach house is right on the beach and the home sits on the main road where the bus line is. It was nice to look out bedroom window to the beach. it doesn’t have access directly to the beach though. You enter an exit the building on the west side, but it’s a quick three minute walk to get to the sand. The apartment is on the second floor and in a multi unit complex. We had rented a car but it really wasn’t necessary with the public transportation being so close. You can’t park on the street 6 to 10 AM Monday through Friday, so sometimes we had to park half a mile away in the evening. The hosts responded quickly to any questions we had. Be sure to bring eye masks since the bedroom is on the east side and gets very bright in the morning.
We had an amazing stay at The Coachhouse and relished the absolute beachfront location. As an expat Northern Beaches lifelong resident, it was an absolute treat to spend a week “at home” in this beautifully appointed apartment. Spotlessly clean, the attention to detail is second to none. Everything you need is there and a lovely hamper of essentials to get you started. To be welcomed into this light-filled apartment with music playing on the 2 tv’s - it really was a hotel experience AND with incredibly comfy beds to rival any 5-star hotel. The location was just perfect with an easy walk to Collaroy or Narrabeen where you are spoiled for choice for restaurants, direct beach access, and buses on your doorstep. Communication was excellent and Robert went over and above to ensure our stay was magical, which it was. And the view! Wow! Absolutely mesmerising. Took my book and didn’t read a single page! Watching the moon and the sun rise over the ocean and hearing the waves at night….we were in heaven.
We will definitely be back! Thankyou Robert and Dan. You have achieved something unique and special!
My friends and I had a three night getaway here and absolutely loved it. Robert was so helpful and sent information on everything we needed to know beforehand. We also loved the complimentary wine and goodies basket.
The apartment was homely and tastefully decorated. The view from the front bedroom to the beach and across the ocean was incredible.
Would highly recommend this stay.
Charming with gorgeous views and friendly surroundings. We would most definitely stay here again. The beds were comfortable & clean for a great nights sleep after a 30+ hour journey. The welcome basket of goodie’s was a very pleasant surprise and very much appreciated after such a long trip. This location is not far from Sydney and the public transportation is right here for convenience. Parking was easy and never an issue (one of our main concerns as in our home area this is always a challenge). We stayed 3 nights but wish we would have planned a few more as there is so much to do and see in the area. The lagoon, beaches, Sydney, kayaking, surfing, & food was all phenomenal. From our room view we spotted dolphins and whales swimming by around 7:30am the day we were leaving. Our experience was fantastic. Sad to go but looking forward to seeing more of Australia’s beautiful areas. Side note: keep in mind this apartment has the feel of what I would expect to see in
This property was such a surprise - right on the beach at Narrabeen, beautiful views, spotlessly clean with every convenience available. Great spot, will definitely return.
