Matt's Tamarama Penthouse has THE most amazing beach views and location anywhere on the eastern beaches - totally to die for and Tamarama being one of our favourite beaches made for a very special holiday with our three children over Christmas this year.
The cafe on the beach is great for morning coffees, smoothies, breakfast and lunch, a great park for kids to play in and the Bondi to Bronte walk is right at your doorstep so access to all the cafes and restaurants at Bondi are within easy walking distance on one of the world's best coastlines.
If I had to be picky, I just think the place needs a little feminine touch - a full set of plates, cutlery, glassware would be a start as it is a kitchen warranted for entertaining - having no platters, bowls, trays or anything provided at all made for a bit of difficulty in entertaining family over Christmas with lack of kitchenware. A few little decorative ornaments around the place, some boardgames tucked away in cupboards would also be a nice touch. A few hardy plants on the amazing terrace and a touch up of the weathered furniture would make this place even more incredible.
Matt was very quick to respond to some broken items - a microwave and Nespresso frother and replaced them immediately which was great, however, a few more kitchen items together with some beach towels for guests staying at the beach would be helpful in the future.
Honestly this place is very special due to its location and views, you won't get much better than this in Sydney, however just a few little things to make it feel more warm and 'homely' would elevate it to the next level. Thanks Matt for a great stay and I would recommend this place to future friends and guests.
