The Royale is a gem. The attention to detail is remarkable: everything has been thoughtfully considered and the house is filled with vintage design touches, warm colours and tasteful stylings.
The bathrooms are gorgeous and the beds very comfy (love the blockout blinds!). A separate study and lightning fast internet made me wish I could stay longer than the weekend and “work from home”.
It’s clean, cozy and very confortable - anything you might need to cook up a storm (and we did) is right there, and if curling up with a novel is more your thing, there are various nooks and decks to choose from. The Royale has a luxurious but irreverent ‘boutique hotel’ feel, which makes staying in very tempting, actually.
We did venture out though, and you can’t beat that location. Minutes walk to two beautiful beaches (and a few more secluded coves), good cafes, and the Royal National Park - and its incredible range of bushwalks - at your doorstep. It’s conveniently close to Sydney but we felt a million miles away.
We’ll definitely be back.
