Apartment Description
The apartment was cut and built into the Bondi sandstone with the generous help of my 3 children and friends over 2 years. It has exposed sandstone walls with polished concrete floors & plywood timber ceilings.

The apartment has an ocean and boat theme with a 48 year old timber kayak hanging on the main feature sandstone wall.A large wood carved sperm whale is on the window sill with a couple of old boat propellers, rudders and a ships steering wheel.
The apartment is located below our home.

Apartment Climate
Because the apartment is cut into the natural sandstone rock - there is generally a different climate - cooler than outside in summer & warmer than outside in winter. It can be a humid in the apartment after rain however we have two dehumidifiers if the humidity becomes uncomfortable.
The sandstone is designed to allow the ground water that naturally comes out of the rock to trickle down over the face of the sandstone.This is a feature of the apartment - the water then drains to a catchment drain where it is pumped to the outside. A pump system is also used to remove the shower, toilet, kitchen & washing machine waste water to the outside sewer system.

In times of heavy rain the apartment can be humid and may not be the best choice for those who suffer from Asthma.

Fees
Cleaning: We know how annoying hidden cleaning fees can be so we do not charge a cleaning fee. Our standard clean involves vacuuming, mopping, wiping/disinfecting surfaces, washing linens. Our decision to not charge for this comes with certain expectations to clean up after yourself in all spaces. Failure to do so will result in additional fees.

Cost structure: Base nightly rate covers 2 guests. Additional guests will incur a fee of $25 per person per night.

We hope the sandstone apartment & location will help make your trip in Bondi enjoyable.
