Nestled in the treetops and overlooking the ocean, our coastal retreat invites you to unwind as the sea breeze soothes your soul. Located in Bundeena, you’ll be just minutes from stunning beaches, spectacular hiking trails, charming village eateries, and so much more. Beautifully furnished with an eclectic mix of mid-century pieces and unique antique treasures, this peaceful sanctuary is the perfect place to recharge. Whether you’re escaping for a long weekend or settling in for a week or two. The property backs directly onto the Royal National Park and is just a 5-minute stroll to Bonnie Vale Beach and 8 minutes to Horderns Beach—two of Bundeena’s best. A network of stunning walking trails can be accessed from the property within minutes, making it the perfect base for nature lovers. Our home is a fully renovated mid-century beach house featuring modern amenities and timeless character. Polished Tasmanian Oak floors flow throughout, leading to a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that opens onto a beautiful hardwood deck. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping ocean views and an uninterrupted canopy of pristine bushland stretching over the entire town of Bundeena. This unique vantage point is one of a kind. Below the deck, a native garden and trampoline offer a fun outdoor space for kids—and adults too. In the evenings, fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves drifting up from the coastline.

Dining & Living The dining area seats six comfortably. In the living room, a luxurious King Living feather-down sofa spans the length of the space, ideal for reading, relaxing, or watching TV while taking in expansive ocean and bushland views. You may even catch planes gliding into Sydney Airport—quietly from afar. A cosy wood-burning stove sits centrally for warmth during cooler months. Backyard & Garden The two-level backyard offers a spacious lawn perfect for kids to explore, along with a native garden that often attracts local birdlife.

About the host
Hosted by Todd
We’re a Sydney-based family who love escaping to Bundeena whenever we can. SaltNest is our little sanctuary — a place to unwind, enjoy beach walks, explore the Royal National Park, and relax by the fire in winter. We love hosting because it gives others the chance to experience this special pocket of the coast and create their own memorable getaway. Our goal is to make every guest feel at home from the moment they arrive.
Why they chose this property
What we enjoy most about the area is the incredible connection to nature. You can walk to stunning beaches like Bonnie Vale and Horderns, explore endless coastal and bushwalking trails, or simply slow down and enjoy the relaxed village atmosphere. There’s something magical about starting the day with a coffee on the deck, hearing the birds, then heading out for a swim, paddle, or walk through the National Park. In winter, we love coming back to cosy evenings by the fire after a day outdoors.
