I am so happy that I chose to holiday in my own city rather than flying to a tropical island resort. I mainly wanted direct access to clear, calm salt water & peace & quiet & Anne's place provided exactly that. Glorious swimming is right down the stairs plus rock pools & little patches of sand for smaller people (there are 50ish stairs through lovely tropicalish plants but perhaps not ideal for the elderly, infirm or toddlers). The upscale beachy decor feels relaxed, new & clean & the decent quality towels, bed & bedding is appreciated. Bundeena is a great little place with a handy supermarket & basic eateries but still very undeveloped & sleepy. The neighbours I spoke to mostly live there & it was super quiet. No party boats at night, which is a problem on Sydney Harbour, & no flight noise. Anne is a lovely, responsive & thoughtful host, full of great local info (joining the group of local oldies who swim across the beaches daily) & kind offers (late check out). Can't wait to return!
