SaltNest - A calm and modern retreat by the sea

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.

Dining & Living The dining area seats six comfortably. In the living room, a luxurious King Living feather-down sofa spans the length of the space, ideal for reading, relaxing, or watching TV while taking in expansive ocean and bushland views.
