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.

Hi Sophie , thank you for your review . I would just like to clarify the point of no driveway to the house . The access to the property is down a grassy path that is owned by council and not by us . As a result we are unable to provide stairs to the property. We have also made this very clear on the information provided about the house on the booking website and repeat this when we send out the information to you prior to your arrival.

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!

Dear Debbie Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns and provide further insight into our unique property. Living in an eco-friendly property nestled within the natural beauty of the Royal National Park unquestionably presents its own set of challenges. We understand your observations about the metal rubbish bins, and we continuously strive to maintain them in the face of the coastal environment. The allure of our location is the opportunity to embrace the serenity and sounds of the ocean by keeping doors open with flyscreens in place, offering a distinct experience from a typical city hotel with air conditioning and comprehensive room services. The open glass windows allow the coastal breeze to blow thru the house keeping the temperature down on hot summer days. It's important to us that our guests are fully informed about the unique setting of our property. As stated on our website and in the information provided to all clients, our house is positioned at the base of a steep grassy slope owned by the council, with no road access. As such we are unable to construct stairs with handrails on this council owned land. However, this secluded location allows for unparalleled privacy and breathtaking ocean views from every room, making the journey down the grassy path a worthwhile experience. Regarding waste management, we request that guests place their rubbish in the bins located behind the house during their stay. We have taken steps to ensure that the proper disposal and management of waste is looked after by our staff who take the bins up the grassy slope on set bin collection days. This avoids the need for the cleaners to come into the house and collect rubbish for the set council bin days. By doing this we maintain guests' privacy and comfort and minimize any disruption during their stay while still maintaining our environmental responsibilities. Again this is only a request. We appreciate your feedback, and we are continuously evaluating ways to further enhance the experience for our guests while preserving the unique character of our property. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide an even more memorable stay. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. Best regards, Nav

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.

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.

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.

Hidden Shoreline Retreat
Beautiful property with amazing views and natural shoreline landscaping. Sunrise and sunsets are amazing from the deck. Well appointed house, comfortable bedding. Parking is challenging, the home is hidden among others on the street. We arrived after dark which was an additional challenge with the steep grass path to and from the property. Know this going in to the stay and this becomes a small challenge for a big payout. Great owners, excellent communication.

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

Great views but ...
This property, once you get to it, is very nice. The house is comfortable and the views are spectacular. However, it is very difficult to walk to the house having to use a steep grass hill with no sidewalk or handrails. While there are some provided amenities inside the house, there is nothing welcoming. The house has a very nice outside deck but has no patio furniture other than a picnic table to sit at. What could be a sensational vacation spot is mediocre at best.

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:).

Wonderful property
We loved the location, with its outstanding views out over the water. The house is modern and everything worked well. Really enjoyed having Gunyah beach one minute from the front gate and Jibbon beach less than 5 minutes walk away. The access down a grassy slope is unusual but works well as long as everyone visiting is in good shape. There was plenty of on-street parking nearby. Property owner was responsive to our questions. A great place to stay.

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)

Beautiful House and Location
This is a fantastic property with stunning views from every room. Wrap-around decks, as well as a well-appointed kitchen and laundry room meant we had everything we needed for a great stay. Bundeena is a charming town, and from the house it's only a short walk to all the cafes and the supermarket, with secluded Gunyah Beach just steps away. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer, and would love to go back someday.

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.

Great Option for Birthday Celebration
Enjoyed time away with 3 friends at HOTR celebrating a birthday. HOTR is something special, the home and location providing you with options to do as much or as little as you like. Great walks, swimming at nearby beaches or secluded tidal pools and the ferry is a great way to travel to Cronulla for lunch. Note: you do need to be prepared for on-street parking and site access has a steep incline that would be an issue for those disabled. But if this isnt an issue for you then I would highly recommend HOTR for anyone looking for a short getaway close to Sydney.

Beautiful spot, that could be tricky to access
This house and the setting is absolutely glorious. We were very fortunate with calm and sunny weather so enjoyed everything it could offer. I read the reviews about difficult access in wet weather, but hadn't really appreciated the challenges. We stayed with my parents who are older but still agile. Even so, if it had been raining recently or we'd checked in in the dark I do not know how we would have managed to get them inside safely. I understand that the sloping grass entrance way is the council's responsibility but this property is sadly not suitable for anyone with any physical frailties.

Not clean, and no mention of a deep slope in property description
We were very disappointed to find out access to the property was virtually impossible for elderly people. There was no mention of a beer steep grassy slope with no railings or steps in the property description. This information was ok given AFTER we had committed to full payment. There was also mold found on the bedding and the kitchen.

Dear Guest, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your stay at our property. The grassy slope is council land and is an ongoing issue with them. I am surprised that you were unaware of this given the number of reviews that mention this and the information that we send you. At no stage during the booking process did you have an queries nor did you mention the mould until after your stay. Our bedding is washed, cleaned and replaced after every visit. We take this extremely seriously and also leave express and clear instructions that if any thing is unsatisfactory to call or email us and NOT to text. We did not hear from you regarding this until after your 3 night visit and are at a loss as to why you would continue to sleep in a bed with apparent mould

Beautiful Location
I recently booked a trip for my wife and baby daughter. We were thoroughly impressed with the views. The house and location is stunning. We spent a lot of time at the house so we could enjoy the views and take in the relaxing nature of Bundeena. Access to the house is extremely challenging. You need to walk down a steep grass hill which turns into mudslide on a rainy day. However, it is a public pathway so this is not the fault of the owner. We were faced with some unique circumstances when staying at 'House on a Rock'. The water system died and we were left with no hot water for the duration of our trip. I still give 5 stars as this was out of anyone's control and it was just very unfortunate timing for us. We appreciate how Nav was in regular communication with us to ensure the problem was rectified. We were appropriately reimbursed for the issue as well. We would like to thank Nav for all the assistance he gave during our stay. Overall, the property is beautiful and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway. Reading a novel on the edge of the cliff while gazing out at the views, was my highlight.

Great winter visit to Bundeena
House on the Rock is a fabulous place to stay, the booking and check in was simple and the house exceeded our expectations! We had a couple of cold nights, but the house had plentiful heaters so we were toasty warm. The views are spectacular. We took some great walks around the coast and the kids enjoyed a trip on the ferry. The kitchen is well stocked. It was a little slippery at the entrance to the house, but this was not really a problem for us. Overall a great break at a great place!

Property was stunning. We will absolutely return. We had 4 adults and 2 children (8yo /13yo). Plenty of room for everyone to relax in there own space and enjoy the scenery. Access is as everyone describes so come prepared. I recommend a pull cart to help carry bags up and down the hill. But we came for the views and stunning property - we were not at all disappointed. Kitchen is well equipped. House was spotless and presented exactly as pictured. Wonderful communication with the host Nav.
