Welcome to Solveena, my home away from home and now yours too. I have opened this home and set it up with the intention of bringing families together and providing a fun and relaxing holiday experience for all family members.

Whether you’re a family looking for a special holiday, want to celebrate an important occasion, to reunite with loved ones, or just want to get away with friends or your partner, you will find what you’re looking for here.


ABOUT BUNDEENA

Bundeena is one of Sydney’s best-kept holiday secrets. Here, you can have the spacious, family bonding experience you desire, without the crowds of inner city beaches, or the long drives of most NSW coastal getaways. Bundeena is only a one hour drive (50km) from Sydney’s CBD, yet it offers the same peace and tranquility than the other more frequented coastal regions. Once you experience the ease and lifestyle of Bundeena, you’ll wonder why you’ve spent so much time driving hours to find your holiday bliss all those years.

This village is a delightful experience, with all the beauty of the Royal National Park that it’s surrounded by. Sitting proudly on the waters of Port Hacking, there are endless activities, things to do and picturesque views here making it the ideal family destination.

Entertainment

FAMILY ENTERTAINMENT/ LOCAL ATTRACTIONS

Bundeena, meaning “sounds like thunder” in the indigenious language is a village full of community spirit. It may only be an hour drive away from Sydney but here you feel as though you could be in a seaside village far, far away.

Our area boasts five very different beaches: Gunyah, Hordern, Jibbon, Bonnievale and Shelley. Aside from enjoying these for a swim (which are all within walking distance) there are many things to do for the activity lovers including paddle boarding, boogie boarding, kayaking and snorkeling, cycling, bowling and Tennis at the local “Bowlo”, fishing (from either the beaches, sea or wharf) or sea fishing can also be organised through a local company. If hiking is more your style, you can walk one of the many coastal paths in the area, or explore the rock pools during low tide. For the culture seekers, we have many cafes, pottery and painting classes and an art gallery. On the first Sunday of every month we also have art trail where you can discover 20 local artists in their own galleries, and this also coincides with the Bundeena markets.

Amazing place! We will be back!
Stayed with some friends for the weekend. An amazing comfortable house with everything you need and nice little touch of sparkling and chocs on arrival. Comfy beds, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and great balcony. Loved it.

A perfect family holiday
A beautiful house overlooking the water and only steps away from a private beach, this Bundeena stay is the perfect getaway for families needing a break from it all. The property is clean and spacious, with enough room for the kids to explore the beautiful garden or play boardgames in one of the many living spaces. Just a few minutes walk from the local shops for ice cream, coffee or groceries. We were able to cook up a dinner feast one night and treated ourselves at the local restaurant the other, which is highly recommended. Evening wind-downs were spent with sunset wines on the outdoor space and the holiday was complete. We’ll be back again soon.
