Avramides Property Services has rebranded to Getawayz NSW.
We had such a great stay at Hidden Valley Eco Lodge. The location is absolutely stunning — surrounded by nature and incredibly peaceful. It was exactly what we needed to switch off and enjoy a proper off-grid weekend. The lodge itself had everything we needed, and the whole experience felt relaxing from the moment we arrived. Waking up to the… Read more
quiet and the views was a real highlight.
We’d definitely love to come back again and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to disconnect and recharge.
Fabulous property managed by a fabulous company that smoothed the way. Huge thanks to you for making it easier than we anticipated. Would definitely recommend and use again. Show details
Our experience with using Getawayz NSW for our holiday stay was amazing. From the first communication with Host James, to our stay in the property @cottage point NSW and beyond has been so easy and a great experience. The property was in great condition, making our stay so enjoyable. The location is breathtaking whether summer or winter the… Read more
property as a getaway is in a tranquil and picturesque location.
Thank you James and team for making our stay so enjoyable.
Practical information. The property and amenities are excellent. Full kitchen with Dishwasher, showers and toilets were spotless, all linen and towels provided. The swimming pool was maintained and clean. Given that the pool is surrounded by trees the pool cleaner kept it in a very clean condition.
We will definitely visit again and Getawayz NSW will be our host.

Dress Circle views to Sydneys Iconic showcase – Stayed for two nights at this beautiful apartment 10/44 Kirribilli Avenue to celebrate Australia Day and be a part of the Action on the harbour. The apartment is beautifully decorated, has high ceilings and tall panoramic wwindows, warm diffused lighting. Luxurious and well equipped with every amenity.

It was a stretch on our budget but well worth it.conveniently located with easy access to the train and ferry, with only mins away from all the action across the harbour, and a couple of steps away from exotic eateries and bakeries, eclectic cafes,gelatos and a Woolies! I loved my walks around the water front at dawn, sunrise and sunset and especially exciting was watching the Australia Day festivities from the air-conditioned comfort of this gorgeous apartment. The champagne on arrival just made our day.
We’ve shared our dream break with all our friends and will be back when budget permits once again soon hopefully.
Ideally located for both business and leisure. Close to shops, cafes, restaurants and the train station. Awesome views of Sydney Harbour Bridge. We stayed to watch the Sydney New Year's fireworks and the views from the apartment were amazing. Show details · 1

Recommend property by cleaning & maintenance needs work – Stayed in Amelie Terrigal which is a wonderfully large 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom apartment with a HUGE balcony with a spectacular view. 5 minute walk to town and Terrigal beach (albeit up a giant hill) and 5 min drive to North Avoca beach. Getawayz are responsive via email and do offer discounts off the AirBNB price, but were let down by their… Read more · 1
cleaning and maintenance team with the cleanliness really sub-par for the price point and the air conditioning broken (which seems to be a long running issue mentioned in AirBNB reviews that really should not still be occurring). HOWEVER still giving 4 stars as the bones of Amelie were great and Getawayz acknowledged the issue and refunded the cleaning fee. Would stay again but be cautious about overpaying if there were still cleaning and maintenance issues.

“Forgot” to refund $1000 security deposit on a property we never even ended up staying in. When I booked I thought I was going to be dealing with Stayz, not some associated property group with no contact phone number. Sent an email to Getawayz following up on deposit refund - ended up having to phone Stayz and have their consultant call Getawayz… Read more
while I sat on hold. Was advised the refund may then take a further 14 days before the funds reach my account via Getawayz software. Communication is limited and delayed… I needed to copy & paste most messages from the messenger portal into an email otherwise they’d be overlooked. Inflexible cancellation-refund policy (being zero option to negotiate cancellation or appeal). Other groups like Air BNB have clearer and more reasonable refund terms. I recommend travellers take a moment to review “[Name Removed]” earlier review about her experience and only book directly through Air BNB. Very easy to book and make payment however.
The Bellevue Abode - Absolutley stunning! – My 3 friends and I recently stayed at The Bellevue Abode in Bondi, which I can confirm is an extremely beautiful beachside boho home. I booked this stay via Airbnb, and it was a very seamless transaction. The host (James) was very friendly and communicative and had a fast response time. James sent me regular messages in the lead up to our stay,… Read more · 1
and again over the duration of our stay simply to touch base and reassure. We were provided clear instructions on house rules, check-in information and check-out details. The Bondi home is very homely, warming and welcoming. The decor is best described as boho and modern, and gives some elements of Byron Bay, whilst still keeping true to the beaches of Bondi. The house and bedrooms are decorated with large, gorgeous artworks of Bondi! I was also obsessed with the heritage ceilings! The house was provided with perfect amenities, and we were provided with some lovely complimentary beer and crackers - which is a nice touch! I highly recommend for anyone to stay here if you are looking for a Bondi getaway, whether that be as a couple, of a small group of friends. The house is an easy 15 minute stroll to Bondi Beach, and you will pass plenty of cute cafes, restaurants and shops. 11/10!!! Thanks for your hospitality, James! :)
Latitude Kirribilli - great property, location and locale – The apartment is in a great location in Kirribilli, within walking distance of the train that goes across the Harbour Bridge (15 min walk) and the ferry to Circular Quay (5 min walk) - or just walk across the bridge to the Rocks and CBD (30-40 min walk). The view from the apartment is of the bridge and Opera House and is stunning, especially if… Read more · 1
you go down the hill to the side and rear of the house to a little wharf. Kirribilli has lots of convenient shops and food places including an excellent Thai, Indian and sandwich shop.
The apartment itself is well equipped, comfortable and air-conditioned, with a decent kitchen, and a sizeable living room/dining area. Two bedrooms are downstairs - here's the only snag: downstairs is via an iron spiral staircase which is steep and narrow. If you are physically challenged, this may prove too much, and it's surprising how many times you'll need to do the 'journey'. Don't try to take big cases down those stairs - better to use the steps at the side of the house and go through the gate from the street; quite a few steps but so much easier than the spiral stairs.
One bathroom is downstairs with an excellent shower, toilet and small sink; the other is upstairs, with a washer/dryer (which takes forever to wash/dry, but is handy) and a decent shower, and toilet.
As the bedrooms are downstairs, one of them can get a little noisy due to the footsteps of the neighbours, but the beds were comfortable and the rooms were big enough. There's also a living room area downstairs with couch and TV.
All in all, a showcase accommodation; not cheap, but given the location, views and locale, definitely recommended, and Getawayz was great in communicating with us - entry codes, property info, etc.
We had a thoroughly enjoyable time in Sydney, enhanced by the property we stayed in.

Negative reviews
Booked The Bungan. The location is incredible, with beautiful views. However, our experience was tainted by the state of cleanliness on arrival. We had to spend over two hours cleaning the house, which was disappointing. There were numerous dirty handprints on the walls, mould and grime on the bathroom door frames, ants in one of the beds, and spider webs along with spiders in most corners of the walls. Show details

Beware!! – Beware of this Getawayz property - The Balmainer. The description of the apartment and it's location is phony. This is NOT an 'executive apartment'. It is not 'nestled opposite a beautiful National Park'. It's an old building with a faulty roof in a suburban street. The notifications at the entrance titled UPCOMING ROOF WORK describes the top… Read more
floor where this apartment is located as having NO INSULATION, and requiring work to PROTECT AGAINST HEAT TRANSMISSION. Water from the shower floods into the toilet...which has no door, and the fridge is overtaken by a block of ice..... We prepaid for 5 nights...the heat in there on a moderately warm day/evening of the first day was INSUFFERABLE. The windows would not open properly to let sufficient air in. The weather forecast for the rest of the week indicated the heat was only going to get HOTTER. Getawayz would not do anything about it...like bringing around an air cooler, preferring to do nothing meaningful. We were fully aware the property had no air conditioning, but expected an evaporative cooler at least in these circumstances. We left the next morning, finding a comfortable place nearby. As the apartment was UNINHABITABLE, we sought a refund on the unused days. GETAWAYZ via Airbnb refused. Communicating directly with GETAWAYZ was also unproductive. My advice - be very careful having anything to do with this property.... and GETAWAYZ... If something goes wrong you'll end up being aggrieved due to the appalling lack of refund for an untenable situation.

Definitely recommend !! Spent one night here and loved it! Saw so much wildlife, bed was so so comfy, everything i needed and wanted was in arms reach. Check in and out was a breeze. I will be staying again! What an insanely beautiful place they have created for us here. Show details · 1
Fantastic loft, compact but beautifully appointed. Great location a couple blocks from Hyde Park and World Square, in a smaller SoHo-vibe neighborhood with dozens of great restaurants and shops within a three-block radius. There's a 24-hour parking garage a block and a half away for your rental car. The management company was quick to respond and made an easy check in and-out experience. We'd happily stay here again!

solution-oriented. It’s rare to find a hospitality partner that genuinely cares about both guests and owners, but Getawayz strikes that balance exceptionally well. Highly recommend James and the team.
Amazing stay in this townhouse, located in the vibrant Newtown neighborhood, in a quiet street. The house has all the amenities (coffee machine, washing machine, dishwasher,...). The host was super friendly and offered a sparkling wine for NYE celebrations and famous ANZAC biscuits. Show details

Booked Towradgi beach house for a couple of nights with my family and I. Was an awesome house to stay in. Great location, good size, very modern.

We stayed 10 nights in Harbourview. The view of the Harbor Bridge was fantastic. Easy walk to train, bus and ferry or walk 1 mile (1.6km) across the bridge to The Rocks and Circular Quay. The apartment was lovely and well equipped. Our host, James, was quick to respond to any inquiries. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would not hesitate to use Getawayz NSW should we travel to Sydney again. Show details · 1
