Nestled in the treetops and overlooking the ocean, our coastal retreat invites you to unwind as the sea breeze soothes your soul. Located in Bundeena, you’ll be just minutes from stunning beaches, spectacular hiking trails, charming village eateries, and so much more.

Beautifully furnished with an eclectic mix of mid-century pieces and unique antique treasures, this peaceful sanctuary is the perfect place to recharge. Whether you’re escaping for a long weekend or settling in for a week or two.

The property backs directly onto the Royal National Park and is just a 5-minute stroll to Bonnie Vale Beach and 8 minutes to Horderns Beach—two of Bundeena’s best. A network of stunning walking trails can be accessed from the property within minutes, making it the perfect base for nature lovers.

Our home is a fully renovated mid-century beach house featuring modern amenities and timeless character. Polished Tasmanian Oak floors flow throughout, leading to a generous open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area that opens onto a beautiful hardwood deck. From here, you’ll enjoy sweeping ocean views and an uninterrupted canopy of pristine bushland stretching over the entire town of Bundeena. This unique vantage point is one of a kind. Below the deck, a native garden and trampoline offer a fun outdoor space for kids—and adults too. In the evenings, fall asleep to the soothing sound of waves drifting up from the coastline.

The two-level backyard offers a spacious lawn perfect for kids to explore, along with a native garden that often attracts local birdlife. A pair of friendly king parrots are known to visit regularly.

Our property has dual access options.  The best and closest option to the main house is via a short dirt track off the main road.  Details will be provided on booking.  Alternatively, there is plenty of street parking.  

We also have an external power point in our carport for electric vehicle charging.  This is a 10A port, so not fast charging.  Guests need to have a travel style of charger.

SaltNest - A calm and modern retreat by the sea

This is truly one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in. Todd went above & beyond, willing to assist in any way. He was a fabulous, communicative & caring host. The charming "tree-house" space with a big, sociable deck is absolutely gorgeous - with views stretching over a little of the town onto the water. Cleverly planted to block the houses alongside we truly felt up in the air. We could walk into the forest, into town and to the beaches - very easy strolls. Inside, spotlessly clean, has everything one needs for a few days away. Kitchen and its equipment is high quality and generous. The open area has a modern kitchen, diningtable & comfortable lounge seating. The bedrooms and bathrooms were great. The first things I look for in an guest house is a good mattress, high-quality linen, strong showerhead & comfy outside furniture. Tick to all of the above. I truly recommend - thank you Todd !

This is truly one of the nicest places we have ever stayed in

Lovely home which is very well appointed. All the little details have been considered meaning the stay was not only comfortable, but made very easy - e.g. plenty of utensils, coffee pods, blankets for the lounge, heating, blinds, bathroom products etc. The hosts were easy to contact when we had a question. Well styled. Lovely sitting on the deck looking out at the trees.

A wonderful get away with friends in a tranquil setting which had everything we needed.

Beautiful house in a beautiful location. comfortable beds, quality bedding and furnishings. Great base for exploring the national park or just chilling out for a few days. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful house in a beautiful location

We stayed three nights at Salt Nest and loved every minute. The house is beautifully appointed with lovely furnishings and tastefully decorated. It is spacious, clean and comfortable. We especially appreciated the huge kitchen stocked with everything you might need, as well as the large balcony with an amazing outlook. It is a short walk to the shops and beach. Todd is a fantastic host - thanks so much!
