About this property

The Ben Buckler Penthouse – Bondi Beach

Located directly over the breathtaking blue Oceans of Bondi Beach, settle in and enjoy Sydney’s most famous and cosmopolitan location, where people come to play and where high end eateries serve both the sophisticated set and the casual diner.

If an early surf or a morning workout is your usual start to the day, there’s no better place to be. Followed by the ultimate day exploring Bondi’s coastal brilliance topped off with a refreshing dip and an afternoon spent mingling with an eclectic mix of international travellers in designer bars or fancy pubs.

This newly renovated apartment offers the best of easy living with a stylish and relaxed fit out and a contemporary feel and the perfect place to relax and unwind! The light filled apartment features a roomy open plan with quality fixtures and fittings and a deck to spread out and soak up this amazing part of the world. The fully equipped kitchen and expansive dining table is a gourmet's delight.

Whether a longer stay corporate traveller or a family holiday this place has it all, from whale watching to people watching and you may even share the sand with the Bondi Rescue crew getting about their usual day as you settle into this welcoming neighborhood. If shopping is your pleasure there’s plenty to impress from the Bondi markets to high end boutiques and loads in between to satisfy the avid shopper or just a chance to pick up the groceries from the local.

Good to know:
- There are quite a few stairs to this property - approx. 55 steps - but the views are incredible when you get there
- $120 extra fees for any public holiday check in and check out

Absolutely wonderful

What a view! Such a wonderful place to stay. I visited for work and was not disappointed in the slightest. Close to everything we needed and wanted to enjoy. Hopefully it will be available on my next trip. Thank you so much for sharing you beautiful home and views of Bondi beach!

Lovely location with the best view!

Great property! The view was absolutely spectacular! We spotted a number of whales from the huge balcony. Well appointed and clean. A very comfortable stay. The bed in the second bedroom is very old and tired. I think that needs replacing. Other than that, it was a great experience staying at this property.

Unmatched panoramic views of Bondi Beach

You will feel on top of the world or on a cruise ship's balcony with the greater than 180 degrees sweeping view of the sea and Bondi Beach from this clean, modern 2 bedroom apartment. Great for watching early morning surfers, fishermen and sadly life rescues from practically every room. Outdoor balcony is huge! Beds and furniture very comfortable. Plenty of space in living areas. Only downside is the 5 flights of stairs but we chaulked it up to our daily step count! Just cannot imagine a better view of Bondi!!!

Relaxing stay

Very much enjoyed our stay, the flat was excellent, the views just amazing. The first impression of the outside of the building aren't great, but inside is perfect and more than makes up for it. We very rarely saw any of the permanent residents of this common residential building, and when we did they were friendly and helpful. Yes the stairs are a good workout, but that didn't bother us and helped with our daily steps workout. The property managers are excellent, had to email / call them on a few minor points and they couldn't have been more helpful. The location itself is superb, if it's just the views you are looking for then you can't beat it. We did hire a car (a Q5) and yes it's a squeeze for the flat's carpark, but we probably shouldn't have as Uber is probably more convenient. Rose / Watson bay are 15 mins away, and the Ferry services from both of these are superb. The local Bus service is also just as good. A very enjoyable and relaxing stay.

Bondi Beach Paradise

Absolutely stunning! Very spacious, private, modern and clean. Water views throughout the entire apartment. Perfect location to watch the sunrise and sunset with 270 degree uninterrupted water views. A very large outdoor balcony to relax and enjoy a cuppa, a meal or a drink with a view to die for. Great location, close to all amenities eg: restaurants, cafes & groceries. Highly recommend! Will be back!

Beautiful view, great location

This apartment is located right on the point of the beach and has a beautiful view of the beach, the town and surrounding ocean. Absolutely stunning, and being the penthouse makes it even better! (Be prepared to buy your own paper products, as there is only a very small amount supplied in the unit,)
