Delightful well thought-out experience

Everything exactly as the photos, but a lot of thought has been put in to making this a good guest experience, with lots of handy notations for facilities and expectations and a printed out booklet on the place and the area. Nice balcony up top for the end of the day and walking distance to everything.

Joyful home in amazing location

A fun, beautiful and thoughtful small house with fab interiors that is 2 mins walk to an amazing swimming beach, and 15 mins walk along same beach to the village centre. It looks out over parkland and playgrounds with incredible birdlife. A very special place. Thanks Courtney and Angus!

had a really lovely stay at the Designer Beachside Holiday Retreat in Bundeena. The place has a cool retro feel with thoughtful touches throughout – it’s stylish without trying too hard, and super comfortable too.The location is perfect for a peaceful getaway. It’s just a short walk to the beach, bush tracks, and the local shops, but still feels nice and quiet. I especially enjoyed relaxing on the balcony in the mornings with a coffee or in the afternoon sun – such a great spot to slow down and take it easy.Everything was clean and well set up, and the host made the whole process really smooth. Would definitely recommend if you're after a laid-back stay in a beautiful part of the world. Hope to come back again!

When can we go back

Stayed with 3 generations and we all loved it, planning when we can go back as it was the easiest and most delightful holiday. Courtney and Angus have thought of everything, I particularly appreciated their attention to the details like organic dishwashing detergent and the compost. The outdoor shower was magnificent after the beach and the kids had hours and hours of entertainment with the arcade games. Thanks so much for having us!

70’s Retro Relaxo!!

We loved staying at the house. It was a step back in time. Decorated in bright colors, gorgeous little details and retro vibes. Easy stroll to the beach and great access. Courtney was on standby for all our needs even though she was overseas in another time zone. The layout was perfect for us 2 adults & 3 kids. We will be back. Loved every minute.

Great weekend at Retro Royale

Despite pretty atrocious weather, we had a great weekend at this funky, super comfy property. Owners Angus and Courtney were really welcoming and went out of their way to give us helpful local advice and make our stay really enjoyable. The Royale is newly built but has bags of character with the eclectic mix of 70s and 80s furnishings and homewares. The kitchen has absolutely all you need and a cool little bar area connected on the deck. Beds are super comfortable and the master bedroom has a great little reading nook window seat where I spent a number of hours. The house is in a brilliant position; only a few minutes walk to the beach and shops/restaurants . We had a rainy and windy weekend so would love to come back in sunnier weather. Highly recommended!

A wedding anniversary to remember

We recently stayed at the Royale in Bundeena to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary, and it was an unforgettable experience. The setting is spectacular, and the modern retro vibe of the house is fabulous. My parents found a set of playing cards from 1974, the year they were married! It truly felt like it was meant to be. The hosts were always easy to contact and accommodating. The attention to detail in the house was outstanding. The house had everything we needed and more. This was easily the best place we’ve stayed in, and can’t recommend it enough. My kids had a blast playing in the garden and the playground just across the road. The beach was only a short stroll away. Wonderful wonderful experience 😊
