The location was perfect right near the water with an amazing view out to sea and up the coast. The Coastal Walk went right past our door. Woolworths in Bulli provided any supplies we needed. The house was very comfortable and we spent most of our time on the verandah.

About the host

Hosted by Therese

Host profile image
👋 Hi, I’m Therese
I’m a mum, nature lover, and passionate host who loves creating beautiful, relaxing spaces where families and friends can truly reconnect.

At Bulli26, we’ve designed a comfortable, ocean-view retreat just steps from the sand. As a frequent traveller (and mum to beach-loving kids!), I understand how important it is to feel at home — especially when travelling with little ones or extended family.

We’ve thoughtfully equipped Bulli26 with everything we look for when we travel: clean, airy spaces, family-friendly features, comfy beds, and small touches that make a big difference — like a north-facing balcony for morning coffees and a washing machine to make beach days easy.

Whether you're visiting for a weekend getaway, a wedding, or a longer beach break, I want your stay to be easy, warm, and memorable. I’m always available if you need local tips, help with planning, or just a great café recommendation nearby.

Looking forward to hosting you at Bulli26 — where ocean views meet family memories.

Warmly,
Therese
