THE BAXLEY BONDI, Sydney

The Baxley Bondi is a 15-minute walk from Bondi Beach and a similar stroll from Tamarama Beach. Bondi Junction Station, a 13-minute walk away, provides rail access to the city and airport. Bus 333 stops just a 2-minute walk from the property and runs directly to the city centre. Numerous cafes, restaurants and a supermarket are within a 5-minute walk. For those driving, free on-street parking is available on Flood Street, with no time restrictions, though nearby streets have a 2-hour limit. The garden and outdoor seating offer a quiet retreat after a day out.

All rooms include air conditioning, heating, a flat-screen TV with streaming services, an electric kettle, tea and coffee making facilities, and a mini fridge. Rooms are compact and best suited for travellers with small amounts of luggage; those with large suitcases may find the space tight. Rooms on the first floor tend to be quieter than ground-floor rooms, which can be affected by street noise and foot traffic from the entrance. Some rooms are accessed from the outside verandah, where noise from other guests may be audible. Rooms with shared bathrooms are among 25 rooms sharing 7 individual bathrooms, which are modern and kept clean. All bathrooms feature rainfall shower heads and botanical toiletries. No bathtubs are available. The property has a no-smoking policy throughout.

The shared kitchen is fitted with a microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and coffee pod machine, and includes free tea and coffee. A snack bar with paid items is available in some rooms. The kitchen and lounge are locked from 17:00 each day, so guests planning to cook or socialise in the evening should arrange alternatives. A wide selection of cafes (e.g., Katipo Coffee House, Bean Tree Cafe, 3 Steps Cafe) and restaurants ranging from Japanese to Brazilian and Italian are within a 5-10 minute walk, offering good options for both quick snacks and sit-down meals.

Bondi Beach is a 15-minute walk or a 5-minute bus ride from the property. The garden and outdoor furniture provide a pleasant space for relaxing in the sun. The shared lounge on the ground floor includes a TV area and is a comfortable place to unwind. Bicycle parking is available.
