About the host

Host profile image
We are a Sydney family and bought this house when our children were little. We have so many happy memories of holidays at Caves Beach -whether in the surf, relaxing on the deck looking out over the ocean or playing games in the backyard. The sunsets and whale migrations are a favourite. It's also a lovely winter house with wood fire and open plan kitchen/living
