Welcome to Bonnie Bundeena Cottage — your peaceful coastal escape just steps from one of the most beautiful waterfront picnic spots in southern Sydney.
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Bundeena, our spacious and private cottage offers the perfect blend of relaxed beachside living and thoughtful comfort. Whether you’re visiting for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, a hiking adventure, or simply to breathe in fresh sea air and reset, this is the kind of place where you instantly feel at ease.
One of the most special things about staying here is our location. We are positioned just across the road from the stairs that lead directly down to the stunning Bonnie Vale picnic grounds and beachfront. In less than a minute you can be wandering through shaded gum trees, setting up a picnic by the water, launching a kayak, or dipping your toes into the calm waters of Port Hacking. It’s a magical place for morning swims, sunset strolls, paddle boarding, fishing, or simply sitting quietly with a coffee watching the tide roll in.
Despite being so close to the water, the cottage itself feels wonderfully private. Set back from the road with its own generous yard and garden space, you can relax without feeling overlooked. The fully fenced and completely enclosed yard makes it ideal for guests travelling with children or pets. Your dog can safely roam, snooze in the sun, or explore the garden while you unwind. Being truly pet-friendly with a secure enclosed yard means you don’t have to worry — everyone in the family can relax.
Inside, the cottage is light-filled, comfortable and generously proportioned. Unlike many beach shacks, this is a genuinely spacious retreat where you can spread out and settle in. The open living area invites relaxed evenings after a day outdoors, whether you’re watching a movie, playing board games, or planning your next adventure in the Royal National Park. Large windows bring in natural light and leafy outlooks, creating a calm and welcoming atmosphere.
The kitchen is well equipped for those who love to cook. You’ll find everything you need to prepare simple breakfasts before a beach walk or full dinners after a day of exploring. There’s plenty of bench space and storage, making longer stays easy and comfortable.
The bedrooms are thoughtfully set up with comfort in mind. Soft linens, quality bedding and a quiet setting mean restful nights are almost guaranteed. Many guests comment on how peaceful it feels here — you’re close enough to hear the distant sounds of the water, yet far enough from busy streets to truly unwind.
What makes Bundeena so special is its unique combination of village charm and wild natural beauty. From the cottage you can easily explore:
• The Bonnie Vale beachfront just across the road
• Horderns Beach for long sandy walks
• The famous Royal National Park coastal tracks
• Kayaking and paddle boarding on Port Hacking
• Scenic bushwalks through ancient sandstone landscapes
• Local cafés, small galleries and the relaxed Bundeena village atmosphere
You can spend your mornings walking coastal tracks with ocean views, your afternoons swimming in calm bays, and your evenings enjoying the quiet rhythm of this special seaside community.
Unlike crowded beach suburbs, Bundeena retains a relaxed, old-school holiday feel. There are no high-rise buildings, no traffic noise, and no rush. It’s a place where children ride bikes in the street, dogs are walked along the sand, and locals greet you with a smile.
For active guests, the location is unbeatable. Launch a kayak and paddle across Port Hacking, explore nearby beaches, or follow bush trails directly into the Royal National Park. For those seeking pure relaxation, simply settle into the private yard with a book and let the coastal air do its work.
Bonnie Bundeena Cottage is especially loved for:
• Its unbeatable proximity to Bonnie Vale picnic grounds
• The private, fully enclosed yard
• Being genuinely pet-friendly
• The quiet position within Bundeena
• Spacious interiors that feel more like a home than a holiday shack
• Easy access to beaches, bushwalks and water activities
Whether you’re here for adventure, connection, or restoration, this cottage offers a genuine coastal experience. It’s the kind of place where you wake to birdsong, walk barefoot to the beach, and fall asleep tired and happy after a day in the sun.
Many guests tell us they feel like they’ve discovered a hidden gem. Others return year after year because the cottage simply “feels right.” It’s not flashy or overdone — it’s warm, welcoming, and perfectly positioned for everything that makes Bundeena so special.
If you’re looking for a spacious, private, peaceful, pet-friendly coastal retreat just moments from the water — Bonnie Bundeena Cottage is ready to welcome you.
We can’t wait to host you 💛
