Wow, this place was beautiful. Private, quiet and a real place to disconnect. You can stay in and listen to the rain or adventure into the national park. Arrived to a beautiful place that instantly makes you feel at home. So many nice personal touches, from the garlic, fresh bread, scrabble, throw rugs, heaters. Tv and wifi easy to use.Highly recommend staying here!

We had a great stay at the property for our 10 year wedding anniversary. Alex was a great host, and the property was really well appointed and very private. We loved the peaceful location, wandered down to the wharf at the end of the street for a drink and snack at sunset, and an easy and beautiful walk in to Bundeena for coffee.
