Great beach getaway

We had a lovely time here! So close to the beach; roomy bedrooms, kitchen and bathroom nicely renovated; we were even able to check-in earlier than expected which was much appreciated. Spacious living space and backyard was perfect for kids to get their wiggles out.We loved watching the kookaburras in the morning and enjoyed the quiet street. Definitely will be booking again! Thank you!

Wedding guest accommodation

Lovely location. Simple beach cottage. Frustration with back sliding door (needing 2 hands to open). Expectation for guests to clean up after themselves is fine until it comes to vacuuming! Ran out of time. Also, outdoor rubbish bin was already full. ****Most importantly, I lost a small black earring box with very personal jewellery. Please let me know if you have found it. I am offering a reward. Ph:0418168682 Jo

Great holiday vibe

This house and yard is in a great location in Bundeena, which feels like a seaside holiday town but with easy access to a national park and a very large city. The house doesn't look like much from the outside but is clean and comfortable with a beachy vibe on the inside. We really enjoyed our stay a lot.

Enjoyable weekend

The owners Carol and Bevan were very communicable, enabling the booking process and settling in period to be smooth. The property was extremely clean and well appointed and the garden was fabulous for our dog and grandson. The property is located in close proximity to the beach and bush walks. I would highly recommend this property.
