We stayed for 6 nights at The Bunkie. It was an easy walk to the beach and shops and plenty of great walks to do nearby. The cottage was very comfortable with a verandah that had a view of the ocean. Very well equipped, just perfect for our stay.

Beautiful little Bunkie

Perfect little place to rest and access the delights of Bundeena. The courtyard is plum in the middle of the property, so the other guests walk by as they enter/exit their accommodation & it’s overlooked by the another studio. When the garden grows it will be more private. We enjoyed our visit.

Even though we came up from Wollongong less than a hour away, we could’ve been at a much more remote location. We had a great time paddle boarding , Swimming and bush walking .Ferry ride and Lunch in Cronulla, finished off by helping locals rescue I stranded boat on Gunyah beach.

Ocean view!

Catherine’s beautiful home was a peaceful oasis in the city! Ocean views steps from the beach and in such a clean and well presented home. My sister and I just enjoyed having a cuppa on the deck and watching the dolphins, it was the best home to catch up in. So many hours of relaxation !

Superb Location and Very Clean

This cute bungalow overlooking the harbor is a perfect place to relax and unwind. The outdoor space was gorgeous and unpretentious while the indoor space was quite clean and spaciously cozy. We loved out 6-day stay and would certainly stay longer if we could. The best part about this home is the location, the gorgeous crescent beach and beautiful national park are moments away while the town of Bundeena is adorably quaint and has all the basic amenities one needs. We’ll come back the next time we’re back in the Sydney area for sure!
