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.

Most remarkable location perched literally on rock ledge edge! Stunning location. Host very welcoming and mid stay check in also. House one of the best stocked homes we've stayed in. Generous supplies and in home items to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Just beware the grassy slop access from street to house, not an easy climb back up hill if you're not particularly fit. But well worth the effort if you choose.

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

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.

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.

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.

Bundeena Bliss

We loved our mini break at House on a Rock - the house is lovely, the location incredible - amazing views of this beautiful part of the world. The location does mean access is tricky - challenging when you arrive with luggage and provisions for your stay. Not such an issue for us and the kids but it was not the easiest for my 85 year old Mother!! We all agree - House on a Rock was worth the effort. All in all - this is a special place and we hope to return.

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.

Magical Weekend

Nav was very patient, accommodating & understanding when I needed to postpone this booking twice due to unfortunate life events. The wait was well worth it, staying at the house on the rock was a magical experience. The home is modern & pristine with everything needed for a short stay. The afternoon sea breeze means the summer heat was not felt inside as the air flow/breeze through all the open doors & windows was lovely & the ceiling fans were more than sufficient for a comfortable sleep. Yes there is a steep hill to get to the secluded home (what you pay for) but having read the reviews I bought a beach trolley for ease of moving all the weekend supplies. There are always solutions! The location of the home is absolutely breathtaking & peaceful & other than walks on the beach, swims & snorkeling all within seconds of the front door, we were so happy staying put as “where else would you want to be”. We loved every second spent here & well worth the money spent. We will return!

Great view but...............

I would like to provide some feedback on this property as I don't believe the "path situation" is presented to the public as it should be. The view from this house is obviously outstanding and ultimately what attracts people to the property. However, the entrance to the property is ridiculous in fact I would go as far as to say it is dangerous and a risk to anyone! There is no real path and the gradient is quite steep with no real support, it is just over grown grass. My children are all extremely fit young adults and they struggled with the path (which isn't even a path!) particularly when carrying luggage. My other disappointment was the standard of accomodation. No toiletries provided at all (other than hand soap) and things were old and rusty in the ensuite bathroom - not what you expect when you are paying these rates! We were unlucky enough to arrive on a 39 degree day and again - no air conditioning in the property! I was also amused by their "house book" which requests that guests help their house keeper by emptying the bins - I am sorry but do they not realise that when you are on holiday and paying top dollar that is exactly what you expect the house keeper to do! Anyway, needless to say overall it was fine but very disappointing - the owners must have high insurance as the path is a definite risk to anyone renting this property!

What a wonderful weekend. The property was well equipped and clean. Such a beautiful outlook, even from the living room, and the ferry, shops and eateries are only a few minutes walk. Yes, entering the property from the street was a little challenging, but it was well worth the effort. Thanks, Nav, we had the most enjoyable stay.
