Sydney and Bondi go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and jam and there’s no better place to soak in those beach vibe than QT Bondi. You’ll be right across the road from the famous beach, so you feel like a local going for a morning dip before breakfast.

Whether you choose a studio or an apartment, your home-away-from-home gives off a relaxed vibe with pale tones and small pops of colour. Better yet, it will be decked out with a washing machine and kitchenette.
