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.

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.

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!

not worth for that price.

There is no parking, no proper road to enter the house, and no access to cupboards. No aircondition. I have stayed in so many farmhouses, beach houses, and all other types of luxury accommodations but this one is not worth that price. Anyway, thanks for the accommodation.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Great property, great location, amazing views. Access to the property from the street a little tricky - on foot down a grassy embankment. Might be hard for the elderly. Otherwise a fantastic trip 😊

Nice spot hard to get to

The overall house was nice , not enough seating in lounge room. There were 3 of us and that was the only lounge seating available. Unfortunately it rained and were indoors. The television was not up to the stand of a luxury house. No undercover area where you won’t get wet. A little bit of updating needed for the price you pay per night. The access to the house is non existent. If you have a back , knee , issues or wheel chair you have no chance of getting to this house even worse in the rain slippery and dangerous.

Amazing Views

The views from this place are amazing, property is great... the only thing that was a negative is it rained the day before we checked in and the slope you walk down to the property was very muddy and slippery. When they say its a steep slope it very much is and parking is a problem as its only street parking and its minimal as the beach is close walking distance

Stunning location and deck

I don’t think we’ve stayed in a house with such a gorgeous private view and a generous, well designed deck that captures it all beautifully! A very short walk down to the little sandstone cove for morning and evening dips. Walks to the wharf and to Shelley beach all without getting in the car. Great kitchen, lovely lighting to flick on at night to light up the trees prettily. It was idyllic and a place we’ll remember:).

A Spacious Airy Open home on Waters-edge.

Stunning location as the listing photos shows. The house is so open and airy with views in all directions and from every room. The beds and bedrooms comfortable. Good bathrooms. Great kitchen with everything. Deck and outdoor areas are sensational. Very good hooded bbq. Huge auto awning for extra sun protection. The beach is just down the steps. A beautiful quiet beach. Feels private, like just for locals. Clear, calm and safe. I highly recommend you stay here…. a place one dreams to own for themselves. (Regarding the access. It is a grassy slope that is just a public pathway to beach between houses. It’s not that steep. Many people going up and down to get to beach. With ease. But it’s the length of path from road where you park to the house. A good 40 metres. So if your not up to carrying all your stuff in out and all your food shopping don’t stay here. I was surprised how far it was but I was still very happy and had an excellent stay)

Simply fabulous

If there is a lovelier, elegent yet understated holiday property, I've yet to find it. Whilst a tad difficult to access because of the slope.... that is also part of the charm. Once there, everything you could wish for is on hand, and that is before you take in the incomparable views. Wonderful.

The location is unsurpassed.

Beautiful views and close access to the beaches in a lovely, quiet beach side town. It is a long way from anywhere but the local IGA is well stocked. The house itself is beautiful, clean and the best appointed kitchen we have come across. Only concern was the collapsing deck which nearly claimed a victim due to the trip hazard, and the rotting pergola which feels like it will collapse at any moment. Also, access was very difficult for those with physical disabilities as there is no driveway, parking or path to the property. Despite this we really loved our stay here and would come again.
