Budget apartment rentals in Sydney?

Travel Info
My husband, 14mth old daughter and I are arriving in Sydney the 28th of January, and are looking for an apartment/townhouse to rent during our vacation. We鈥檙e interested in short term rentals, anywhere ranging from a few weeks to a few mths. Suggestions on a place to stay would be great. We dont need much space, but are interested in something clean! Of course, we鈥檙e on a budget so are looking for something under $600 AUD a wk (which I see plenty of online when I search). We dont need to be downtown, as we're planning on buying a car once we're there. I鈥檝e found boarding houses that are much less, around $350 a wk, but I鈥檓 not sure if that would be suitable for a couple with a child. I鈥檓 hoping someone out there can help us!!
