The sandstone apartment is located 300 metres to Tamarama Beach & 350 metres to Bondi Beach.
The "M Deli Cafe" is directly across the road which has delicious coffee, juices, breakfasts and lunches along with the local bus stop.

Apartment Description
The apartment was cut and built into the Bondi sandstone with the generous help of my 3 children and friends over 2 years. It has exposed sandstone walls with polished concrete floors & plywood timber ceilings.

The apartment has an ocean and boat theme with a 48 year old timber kayak hanging on the main feature sandstone wall.A large wood carved sperm whale is on the window sill with a couple of old boat propellers, rudders and a ships steering wheel.
The apartment is located below our home.

Queen sized bed is provided in the main bedroom.

All bed linen & towels are provided.
Separate bathroom with toilet, vanity & shower -Shampoos, conditioner & soaps are provided.Please note the bathroom is designed to be a wet room and has no shower screen.
The living also has a ping pong table is available for your use as well

Internet

Access
We'll provide you with keys , so you can come & go as you please.

Apartment Climate
Because the apartment is cut into the natural sandstone rock - there is generally a different climate - cooler than outside in summer & warmer than outside in winter. It can be a humid in the apartment after rain however we have two dehumidifiers if the humidity becomes uncomfortable.
The sandstone is designed to allow the ground water that naturally comes out of the rock to trickle down over the face of the sandstone.This is a feature of the apartment - the water then drains to a catchment drain where it is pumped to the outside. A pump system is also used to remove the shower, toilet, kitchen & washing machine waste water to the outside sewer system.

In times of heavy rain the apartment can be humid and may not be the best choice for those who suffer from Asthma.

Beaches
Bondi Beach - is located 5 minutes walk
Tamarama Beach - is located 3 minute walk.
Bronte Beach - is located 10 minutes walk.Bondi Beach is the safest of the 3 local beaches and is patrolled by professional lifeguards all year around.

Walks
The famous Bondi to Coogee coastal walk is 3 minutes from the front doorstep.This walk takes 2 to 3 hours to complete the return journey.The walk does continue past Coogee to Maroubra for those who may want a longer walk.

Cafes & Shops
There is the delicious "M Deli Cafe" across the road which is open 7 days a week and offers food for breakfast & lunch.There is a general store a 4 minute walk away and post office across the road also for any supplies required during your stay.

Takeaways,Restaurants and Bars
It is a 4 minute walk to local takeaways,restaurants,wine bars and local hotel .The famous Bondi Icerbergs club is a 4 minute walk to where you can sip a beer and dine in the bistro whilst over looking the evening sunset,surf and waves of Bondi Beach or dine in the upsatirs in the 5 star dining Icebergs restaurant.

The parking in our street is restricted to 2 hours during the daytime however there is unlimited parking overnight from 8pm to 8 am. Unlimited daytime parking is available in the adjoining streets - the closest being 50 meters away - however at night parking is in high demand - so finding a parking space can be up to 200 meters away .

Fees
Cleaning: We know how annoying hidden cleaning fees can be so we do not charge a cleaning fee. Our standard clean involves vacuuming, mopping, wiping/disinfecting surfaces, washing linens. Our decision to not charge for this comes with certain expectations to clean up after yourself in all spaces. Failure to do so will result in additional fees.

Cost structure: Base nightly rate covers 2 guests. Additional guests will incur a fee of $25 per person per night.

We hope the sandstone apartment & location will help make your trip in Bondi enjoyable.

Amazing place to stay

Highly recommend the Sandstone Apartment as a place to stay. Location is amazing and only a quick walk to the beach. The apartment exceeded my expectations in its size. Plenty of room for our family of 5. Loved the décor and the framed sandstone. The Host was super friendly and helpful. Look forward to staying there again in the future.
