Most remarkable location perched literally on rock ledge edge! Stunning location. Host very welcoming and mid stay check in also. House one of the best stocked homes we've stayed in. Generous supplies and in home items to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Just beware the grassy slop access from street to house, not an easy climb back up hill if you're not particularly fit. But well worth the effort if you choose.

Restful by the sea

I stayed with my family for Easter, and what a wonderful time we had. A beautiful house in an amazing location. Only issue was the house being a bit far from the road, but once you got to the house, it was magnificent.

What a wonderful weekend. The property was well equipped and clean. Such a beautiful outlook, even from the living room, and the ferry, shops and eateries are only a few minutes walk. Yes, entering the property from the street was a little challenging, but it was well worth the effort. Thanks, Nav, we had the most enjoyable stay.

Stunning Peaceful Location

A beautifu house in an absolutely stunning location. Amazing views over the bay, very peaceful. The house was well-equipped and spacious. Entry as per some other posts was a bit steep and grassy but well worth it for the houses positioning and views. Had a great stay and loved the area

Beautiful House and Location

This is a fantastic property with stunning views from every room. Wrap-around decks, as well as a well-appointed kitchen and laundry room meant we had everything we needed for a great stay. Bundeena is a charming town, and from the house it's only a short walk to all the cafes and the supermarket, with secluded Gunyah Beach just steps away. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, and would love to go back someday.

Lovely Weekend

Lovely comfortable property, location could be difficult for some as access is through a steep council grass walkway that is not evenly graded. Parking is an issue. The view is gorgeous and the property has everything you need and great proximity to the town, National park and waterways. Very peaceful stay. Highly recommend.

Wonderful property

We loved the location, with its outstanding views out over the water. The house is modern and everything worked well. Really enjoyed having Gunyah beach one minute from the front gate and Jibbon beach less than 5 minutes walk away. The access down a grassy slope is unusual but works well as long as everyone visiting is in good shape. There was plenty of on-street parking nearby. Property owner was responsive to our questions. A great place to stay.

Stunning location and deck

I don’t think we’ve stayed in a house with such a gorgeous private view and a generous, well designed deck that captures it all beautifully! A very short walk down to the little sandstone cove for morning and evening dips. Walks to the wharf and to Shelley beach all without getting in the car. Great kitchen, lovely lighting to flick on at night to light up the trees prettily. It was idyllic and a place we’ll remember:).

Simply fabulous

If there is a lovelier, elegent yet understated holiday property, I've yet to find it. Whilst a tad difficult to access because of the slope.... that is also part of the charm. Once there, everything you could wish for is on hand, and that is before you take in the incomparable views. Wonderful.
