Guest Reviews:
Ellen, January 2020 - 'Our whole family had a great escape to Deborah’s spacious house with great views, particularly, night views are grand. It’s also so convenient, just 10mins walk to Westfield shopping centre with great food choices and entertainment facilities. We especially enjoyed Deborah’s flexible check-in and check-out times, which add additional joy and relaxation to our get away from home.'
Natalie, November 2019 - "'Deborah was always quick in answering all my questions about our stay. As she couldn’t be there when we arrive, her co-host was welcoming us and showing us round. He also answered to all my questions around our stay. The house was bigger than expected, as Deborah couldn’t send me a floor plan. All rooms are all very clean, bathrooms in very good condition and kitchen well furnished! Location is perfect, you don’t need a car as you have all transportation near you. We would definitely come back and recommend Deborahs house! Thanks for having us!" Colin, October 2019 - "We stayed in Deborah’s place for 9 weeks and had a fantastic stay. Amazing location and a great home. Close to everything. Thanks for the stay Deborah!" Reece, August, 2019 - "The house is very spacious, comfortable, nicely appointed (furniture and kitchen) and well located to amenities and public transport." Callan, July 2019 - "Great place to stay, close to large shopping centre, easy walk to beach and train station! Beautiful views, clean and great hosts! Would stay again next visit to Sydney! " Mark, December 2018 - “A wonderful Airbnb. Not cheap but definitely worth the price! Highly recommended,” Mark’s private feedback for you: “Hi Deborah, You have a lovely house and it was great to stay in it. Yours Mark” Carly, Feb 2017 - We loved our stay and would definitely stay again next time we are in the area. Highly recommended Geoff, January 2017 - The house was exactly as described, terrific location with easy walking access to Bondi Junction, Bondi Beach and public transport . The house is well fitted out, has excellent views of the Harbour Bridge and the city and made for a terrific family holiday. Deborah was an excellent host, friendly and very helpful. Amazing homey feel! Very clear instructions for everything without being too overwhelming. Thanks very much! Lia M. , January 2017 Matt, October 2016 - We had a terrific family holiday in this location. Ruby's has more than enough space, is very comfortable and even has a place to park. Deborah was a very helpful and accommodating host. Very highly recommended. Hello Deborah, I just wanted to say a big thanks for opening your residence to us. We all had a wonderful time and it was a relaxing base for the beauty expo to wind down. I even got used to the tight driveway by the end :-) Nina was a beautiful hostess and everything was perfect during our stay. I also have to compliment you on your information booklet as it was in depth and a very informative and friendly read. I will definitely be keeping you in mind again when we come back to Sydney as we are often up every year or so. Thank you again. Luke, August 2016 Lisa B - Amazing!★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We came from the US for our son's wedding. We wanted a place that was large enough for two families to gather for meals and finish up last minute wedding details together. This was perfect! The house was beautiful and clean (even better in person than in the pictures) with everything we needed! Good instructions on how to use everything and great communications with Deborah and Niña. The view from the upper balcony was breathtaking and we were even able to experience watching fireworks over the harbor on our last night stay because of the City2Surf run the next day! The buses and Westfield Mall are just a short 5 -10 minute walk away. We even walked to Centennial Park and Bondi Beach from the house. It's about 1/2 hour walk, but that is our favorite way to explore. Driving in Sydney is another story and we would never do it! Our new daughter-in-law and her family who are from Australia did the driving! So just a heads up, the street for this house is very narrow and almost impossible to park in the garage. You would simply have to park a little way up the street. Definitely not a deterrent and certainly worth it to stay in that house! Could not have picked anything better. So pleased with our time there and will not stay anywhere else if we make it back. August, 2016 Daniel - The house is very large and comfortable, as per description and photos. We are were a family of 4 and there was plenty of space. It is very well situated as it is in a quiet street, very close to Bondi Junction, which is very well connected to downtown through bus and train. The house is very well equipped in terms of kitchenware, baths and beds. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely recommend the place. February 2016 John - Spacious, well equipped house that was fantastic for the 6 family members who stayed here for our 3 week stay. Easy walk to Bondi Junction for train to the City. Very comfortable beds. Great views of the Harbour Bridge and partial view of the Opera house from the top floor room. Met by owner's brother in law who was very helpful. Very accurate description and pictures. Wi-fi worked very well which was important for us. Exactly what we were looking for. August 2015 Response from Deborah:Thank you John. And thank you for pointing out the broken heater. We'll be onto repairing or replacing it straight away. Hope to welcome you back here again one day. Bertrand - Superbe maison, très grande et parfaitement bien équipée. Un grand salon avec cuisine US, deux terrasses en rez de jardin, un grand barbecue, une salle de jeu, une terrasse au dernier étage avec une vue magnifique sur le pont et l'opéra de Sydney. Décoration soignée pour qu'on se sente comme chez soi. La maison est encore plus belle et confortable qu'elle n'y parait sur les photos. Accueil très sympathique de Derek et échanges très fluides et agréables par mail avec Deborah. Une maison que nous recommandons sans aucune hésitation pour tous ceux qui souhaitent avoir de l'espace dans une quartier très agréable de Sydney. "Beautiful house, very large and very well equipped. A large living room with kitchen, two terraces on the ground floor, a large barbecue, a games room, a rooftop terrace with magnificent views of the bridge and the Sydney Opera House. Tastefully decorated to make you feel at home. The house is even more beautiful and comfortable than it seems on pictures. very friendly welcome from Derek and very fluid and pleasant email exchanges with Deborah. A house that we recommend without hesitation to anyone wishing to have space in a very nice area of Sydney." February 2015 Response from Deborah:Merci Bertrand!! I am so happy you enjoyed the house. It is nicer than the photos, but it is difficult to capture the space in photos! Merci encore and a bientot? I know Sydney is a long way from France, but maybe one day you will be back and I might meet you next time! Chris - Truly one of the most beautiful houses in Sydney. Perfect location 2 minute walk from bondi junction and 15 mins to bondi beach and breath taking views back over the city and harbor bridge. Not to mention having a beautiful back yard to bathe in the morning sun light. The house is 5 star luxury. Deborah is very kind , caring and most hospitable. Absolutely fantastic!!! 5 stars December 2014 Response from Deborah:Thank you so much for the lovely review!! It was a pleasure having you and your family here! Marilyn is lovely!! Actually you all are (well, the three of you that I met!)...Come back soon!!! Sharon - Deborah was very welcoming and helpful throughout the entire process. Her home is spacious, well equipped and was perfect for our needs. The location is great with short walks to shopping, restaurants, bus into the city and Bondi Beach. I highly recommend this beautiful home. And the view of Sydney was a great surprise! (even though it is on the website) Thank you, Sharon November 2014 Response from Deborah:Thanks for the lovely feedback Sharon. A few bugs? Don't you know about the dangerous wildlife we have here in Australia?! Ha ha ha... Glad you had a comfortable stay. AUGUST 2014: "it was so nice to stay somewhere that felt like a home". We had such a wonderful time in your beautiful house, it was so nice to stay somewhere that felt like a home. We often stay in holiday houses rather than hotels for this reason but so many of them are disappointing. We were so thrilled when your place exceeded our expectations. It really is a beautiful home. For us, it's the little things that count.... Cupboards to put away your clothes, salt/ pepper, glad wrap in the kitchen, a kitchen with great pots and pans, cleaning products available, comfortable beds, good heating, cots and highchairs available. Sadly, a lot of places we have stayed have lacked these things. You run a very professional business and your attention to detail is fabulous! We look forward to staying with you again and will be recommending your properties to others, thanks again! Hi Deborah. It's a pleasure to review Ruby's at Bondi Junction. From the first email to you the whole experience of the booking went so smoothly. The arrangements for check-in were really good and the best part was arriving at the house and seeing how lovely it was, so clean and organised and how you'd thought of we thought "everything" we needed to settle in and for our stay. We stayed when it was colder in Sydney and there was loads of heating, blankets and it was very cosy. Location was perfect a walk to the beach and close to all transport, Westfield shopping and lots of great restaurants. We had an amazing stay. Thank you and we recommend you very highly. Steve & Julie - July 2014 A quick note to say that we thoroughly enjoyed staying at Waverley Crescent. What a house! so nicely designed and furnished, in fact we are extending our kitchen here in Ealing and we are looking to incorporate a walk in pantry and laundry room as a result of seeing how nicely it clears away the clutter. Thoroughly loved the house and would be happy to recommend to others. Thanks for all your excellent customer service as well. Nikki, February 2013 We had a fantastic time, the weather was brilliant (even the 45 degrees was memorable)and the holiday home was exceptional. Everything we could have asked for and more - the shopping was great and the access to transport was of no issue at all. A truly memorable holiday. Thank you Ashley and family January 2013 The Bondi Junction house was fantastic, as a Mum with a little baby, I was so happy with how clean, comfortable and lovely the home was. Our son was instantly comfortable and that made the stay all the more enjoyable. The people assisting with the house were helpful and the stay was all the more stress free for our family. We are recommending Ruby to everyone we know in Australia and in the UK. Thank you so much for a great stay! The Reid Family, August 2011 Hi Deborah & Derek, Just a quick note to say a huge thank you for allowing us the pleasure of holidaying at Waverley Crescent last month. The home is absolutely beautiful and even though we were accommodating a large family, there was plenty of room for us all. The weather was atrocious during our stay but we did manage a couple of fine days for my husbands 50th birthday party at Brighton Le Sands and for our family trip to Taronga Zoo which was very lucky! We were so thankful to have such a lovely home to entertain in while the rain came down outside and the short walk to Westfield was also a very welcome convenience! Thank you again for your generosity in allowing us to experience this home away from home. We hope to return again some day. Kind Regards, Kylie, July 2011. The view from the rooftop, the large kitchen, bedrooms etc. Kids loved all the walk in wardobes, made for great hideouts! Easy walking distance to Bondi Junction made shopping a little too easy! easy five minute drive to the beach for restaurants and more shopping! Fantastic stay! (David, Singapore , July 2011) Great location,close to shops, transport etc. Great space and storage. Sunny with beautiful view of the harbour! Perfect family home for a holiday, would consider staying again. Property Owner very helpful and efficient. Thank you. June 2011 17-Aug-2010 A beautiful home in a very convenient location. Has all the modern conveniences and a fantastic view of the city from the balcony. This is a luxury home away from home. A short ten minute walk to the centre of Bondi Junction gives easy access to the citys transport system. (Darren, Australia) 21-Jul-2010 The property was more attractive than the photos showed. Our young family really enjoyed it. The house was in a nice quiet area halfway between Bondi Beach and the centre of Sydney with bus lines and train lines to both. "Wonderful house, worked well with our big family of seven. Three wee children. The kids just loved this house it was quite, warm, very inviting and very exciting for the weenies. They play hide and seek for hours. It is total pleasure to stay in. Owner just the greatest lady. We will be back to stay and recommend this house as 5 star." Ruthe, April 2009 "Really superb home in a centrally located but nice area. The house easily suits 6 people looking for a modern and extravagant place. The owner was friendly and helpful at all times and guaranteed a pleasant stay. " Anonymous, March 2008 20-Oct-2009 It is a lovely roomy house within walking distance to Bondi Westfields. Buses to Bondi Beach are at the end of the street. (Kathleen, Australia ) 01-Aug-2007 A very relaxed feeling in the house. Thank you for having us in this accommodation. This Bondi Junction property is a very comfortable, clean & tidy house. It was a joy to come home to after a long day at work. (Paul , Australia ) 16-Apr-2007 The house was fantastic. The only thing that could have been improved on was that we had no phone at the house (as it wasn't working) and therefore had to use our NZ mobiles. Other than that the house was great and we would definitely stay there again. An amazing house - Location, presentation and decor, space, storage (cupboards etc), child friendly, easy to entertain in. Many thanks. (Caroline , New Zealand ) |

History of Bondi Junction
The area sprang up as a result of Oxford Street (then South Head Road) being laid in 1811.
