Situated within the Royal National Park, Bundeena is popular with locals and tourists alike for hiking, swimming, birdwatching, watersports and whale/dolphin watching. There are a few friendly cafes on the main street, and plenty of regular local events to experience.

Steps to Jibbon Beach, stroll to the village shops and nearby Hordens Beach. Walk the Jibbon Loop Track or venture further into the Royal National Park to explore this natural wonder.

Driving to Bundeena from Sydney takes just under an hour and takes you through the Royal National Park. Please note that visitors driving straight to Bundeena do not have to pay the park entry fee and can proceed through the far left lane at the park entrance. A ferry service operates between Cronulla and Bundeena roughly every hour and the journey takes 20 minutes.

Should the National Park entrance be closed for whatever reason, or simply if you prefer, you can drive to Cronulla and catch the ferry across to Bundeena - it is a short walk from the ferry wharf to the Bunkie Ethel & Ode’s. Timetables can be found on the Cronulla Ferries web page.

The Main House and Fogo by the Sea, which are also situated on the property, are not part of this listing. Each accommodation has its own distinct areas, with only the Neil Street entrance shared.

- Noise to be kept to a minimum after 9pm out of respect for our neighbours.
- No pets.
- No Smoking on the property including the Bunkie, deck and gardens.
- Please remove shoes in the Bunkie.

We had a wonderful time at The Bunkie. Such a cute and clean space, with a lovely view of the beach (which is within walking distance). Also very close to the IGA, coffee shops, and the ferry wharf.

Bundeena Town Beach And Supplies Stop

We stopped into the IGA in Bundeena to grab some supplies before heading to our accomodation for the night. The small group of shops are directly across from this beautiful beach so we took a stroll before heading back.

Wedding Cake Rock Hike

We were able to walk right from our accommodation towards the National Park and straight onto the coastal track to the famous Wedding Cake Rock. We enjoyed a few mandarins at our destination before heading back - the views were breathtaking!

Hire A Row Boat Or Kayak At Audley Boatshed

We stopped in to the Audley Boatshed and took the kids on a row boat ride. It was so nice to just take in the nature around us before our drive back to Sydney. The kids skimmed rocks on the lake and followed baby ducklings around on the lawn before we grabbed coffee and lunch at the Audley Dance Hall Cafe!
