err, not too many Landlords reading posts here mate... only way you'll find something is by actually coming here and looking for yourself. You should be able to get something adequate for that buget... nothing at all fancy though.

Leon> Just a suggestion but you might want to remove your telephone number from your original post so you don't get spam calls but then again, it's international so maybe you'll be ok?
Like xpat-Aussie said, it's usually "better" if you come over first before going to look for a flat because then you can experience firsthand what the location is like and whether it offers all that you require. Quite a few people will stay in a hotel or serviced apartments for the first month or so and then use that time to become familiar with Hong Kong and also go flat hunting. Good luck with the flat hunting!

xpat, what is "fancy" to you? A 15,000 sq. ft. mansion?

lol... 3 bedrooms for 60K will only get a fairly basic apartment in the areas mentioned. Not many 3+ bedders around in the newer buildings, and those that are, are bloody expensive.
Besides, Shaz, I deserve to be spoiled! Fancy's not all about the size, modernness (is that even a word?) facilities, location etc... For a good size house on the peak, you're looking at over 150K/month. 4 bedrooms in mid levels in an old building will fetch around 50K+.
Don't shoot the messenger, I'm just "keepin it real"

Central Midlevels 23 Old Peak Road - Dynasty Court Middle 1970' $58k. 2006/07/27
Minutes from the city, situated in Hong Kong's premier Central residential area is this distinctive development overlooking Hong Kong's spectacular harbour. There are shops, schools and parks in the immediate neighbourhood, and a regular shuttle bus service to the city centre and to Wanchai.
The complex comprises five towers of superbly finished apartments and it is managed and maintained to a high standard by one of our premier developers. The majority of the 3 and 4 bedroom units have green and harbour views, and many have balconies. All come with fully equipped kitchens, maid's quarters and carpark.
Among the comprehensive range of facilities offered by the Dynasty Club are two outdoor swimming pools - one heated and open year-round, a gymnasium, a tennis court, squash courts, children's playroom and outdoor playground, and a golf simulator, as well as private and public dining rooms, all expertly managed by professionals.
This is shabby for you Xpat-A?

I visited many 3 bedrooms in mid levels, Pok Fu Lam... for 15K+ a month.
The estates had swimming pool, gym, sauna...
Of course the bedrooms were HK style.
For 30K, you can have a 3 bedrooms flat in Repulse Bay (with full seaview...) with a bathroom for the 2 main bedrooms...
(+ swimming pool, bla bla bla)
If you avoid areas like the Peak, you can almost have a palace for 60K.
I'll contact you Leon and give you a contact in HK who can help you.

Can't see the pics mate... but I find it very difficult to beleive any sort of decent place in Dynasty Court would go for <60K. Even if it's not inclusive. I looked at that building when I came here and didn't like it. A bit tacky the way the public areas (inside) are overdone, but I can tell you there was nothing good for under 80K/month (and they were low level units). Unless of course we're talking about a differnt Dynasty court?
As for 15K 3 bedder in Mid levels, I find that impossible to believe, maybe I'm jusynaive here, but I looked at stacks of places. As I said, don't shoot the messenger, I have no idea why people get their feathers ruffled when I talk about rental prices in HK. You can get something for 8K/month, right up to >350K/month. With a 60K allowance, this dude is expecting something pretty good, and large (3 bedrooms). I looked at dozens of places where the rooms where so small that almost none of my furniture would fit. I use a spare bedroom as an office and my desk would not physically fit in almost every "bedroom" I saw, my bed (Queen size) would not fit, or would be a very tight fit in almost every one as well.
I need room mate, and lots of it! 
Shazza, thanks for the offer, but you're taken already!

Just the "nothing at all fancy" when talking about a 60K flat...
You can find very nice stuff without paying 60K. Don't have to go to a Dynasty Thing...
As for the 3 bedrooms flats I was talking about, you could fit a queensize bed in them... but nothing more!
(after all, was only 15K flats)
Anyway, I suggest to go through an agency, which will find whatever you want within a budget. When you're willing to pay 60K a month for the rent, you can afford giving 1/2 month agency fees to find the flat for you.

It is possible.

Ah yes, but not everybody could handle the ferry journey either way.
