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.

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

Great house with quality amenities, views and tranquil setting. Access was a little wet and dark at time of arrival, however, the owner did warn us prior to arrival. Very happy.

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.

Friends getaway

Great property, great location, amazing views. Access to the property from the street a little tricky - on foot down a grassy embankment. Might be hard for the elderly. Otherwise a fantastic trip 😊

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.

Sister Retreat

Each year my sisters and I treat ourselves to a holiday somewhere on the South Coast. Of all the houses we have vacationed in this house is the most unique and spectacular place we have stayed. The house is beautifully designed in harmony with its amazing location and well-appointed with all you need. Situated on a headland between two lovely swimming beaches at Bundeena, the view over Port Hacking to Sydney is endlessly fascinating. Highly recommended for those looking for something truly out of the ordinary.

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.

Reunion weekend

Great location and views! Much care required getting into the property as its a steep decline to the rear where you need to enter the property from. Need to be wearing runners, some of us had to walk down barefoot, it had been raining and it was very slippery.

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.

Girlies Weekend Away

A truly fabulous weekend away the House on the Rock is in a word simply beautiful. Absolutely spotless house and amazing views with fabulous access to Jibbon Beach. Taking the Heritage Ferry to Cronulla for the afternoon was a lovely adventure, on our return Dinner at the Bundeena Community Club. Sunday spent at the foreshore Markets and then onto the Artist Trail . Many Thanks Nav for a lovely stay. We will be back The Girlies !!!!!!

Great view

The owner was great with communicating. There were ample heaters in the house and extra blankets if needed. The grassy path down to the house was muddy and a little slippery, fortunately our group are ‘relatively’ fit and we did not have too much luggage to cart up and down the hill.

As visitors from the UK on our first venture to Oz we could not have chosen a better spot to stay. The position of the House on the Rock is truely spectacular and we enjoyed the views of the bay both throughout the day and in the evenings from the deck . The house is beautifully appointed: very clean and chic with everything to make your stay special.I would recommend it but be aware that there is a slopping grassy access area to negotiate and with heavy cases it could be a problem.

Amazing Views

The views from this place are amazing, property is great... the only thing that was a negative is it rained the day before we checked in and the slope you walk down to the property was very muddy and slippery. When they say its a steep slope it very much is and parking is a problem as its only street parking and its minimal as the beach is close walking distance

Hidden Shoreline Retreat

Beautiful property with amazing views and natural shoreline landscaping. Sunrise and sunsets are amazing from the deck. Well appointed house, comfortable bedding. Parking is challenging, the home is hidden among others on the street. We arrived after dark which was an additional challenge with the steep grass path to and from the property. Know this going in to the stay and this becomes a small challenge for a big payout. Great owners, excellent communication.

Lovely Spot, expensive

We loved the location and the house was immaculate. We just feel that it’s poor value as you literally only have two evenings and 1 day, having to check out so early on the Sunday. There needs to be weekend rates. Also access is hard. No off street parking and a steep slope to carry all supplies down. We loved the place and would go back if cheaper.

Peaceful

This is just an idyllic spot. if you want somewhere very quiet and restful the house and town are perfect. Please note when they highlight the access issues they really mean it. Quite steep and somewhat slippery. Also, no air conditioning. Would be quite toasty in summer. Another fan so there is one for each bedroom would be useful.
