We enjoyed the warmth and friendliness of the hosts and the facilities, plus being located in beautiful Bundeena. We walked in the National park, visited the bowls club and cafes and had a lovely stay. It would be a great place to live.

Family Holiday

We enjoyed staying at Bundeena Base very much. Hilde is a wonderful host who gave us good information about some of the dangerous animals in the area, which was helpful considering our kids like to find animals, lizards, etc. The pool area is nice and the house is very clean. We had privacy unless or until we needed anything (which we didn’t because everything was taken care of). The location is perfect - easy walk (short, slight uphill on way back from town) to beaches, grocery store, restaurants, etc. National park is essentially right in the backyard. Definitely recommend staying here with kids or without.

Expected better according to the reviews

We were informed that there was renovations going on in the upstairs area 2 hours prior to checking in which meant we couldn't cancel. The bathroom did not have any locks, the barbecue was dirty. The owner came to the house at night while we were listening to music in the patio and scared all of us as it was not announced. We just needed private and relaxing time with family. A bit of communication would have worked a wonder, felt very uncomfortable and scared. Other than the view, I would not recommend this place for more than 4 people. Let's just say we couldn't wait to leave. We informed the help centre and there was nothing done about it.

Loved it!

Loved this cool place! The owner has put a lot of thought into making it a lovely space to be in, and we really appreciated the mini tour through the place when we first arrived, which meant we knew exactly how to find the things we needed without having to read pages of instructions! Hilde was true to her word, available if needed and respectful of our need for tranquility. Could easily have stayed longer, and had a couple of drinks with her actually- perhaps next time we visit we can do that

Excellent value for money

We are frequent visitors to Bundeena but have never stayed at this property before. It is very well located in the best part of town. An easy walk to the club and shops. The premises has 3 large bedrooms and a spacious bathroom. There are plentiful towels and everything you need for an effortless holiday. The pool was a major bonus which we thoroughly enjoyed. Our dogs also loved the well fenced yard. Thanks again Hilde and David. We appreciate all your attention to detail and we’ll see you again.

About the host

Hosted by Hilde Swendgaard

Host profile image
Having travelled extensively both for work and leisure, I have stayed in some of the world's worst (always make good stories) and best hotels. My first experience in providing accommodation was a few years back, in the UK. I bought a hotel and turned it into a successful boutique business, with each room decorated as if from a different country. You could travel to Morocco, Italy, Norway and even stay in a spooky Gothic room, all within one building. I sold that business in order to move to Australia and now let my property in Bundeena.
I don't mind admitting that I get a real thrill when I hear my guests have had a good time, enjoyed what the property and Bundeena have to offer but also that they've had a good nights sleep. My mantra is to offer a quality experience at an affordable price.

Why they chose this property

You know that feeling when you first step into a house, you just feel like you've come home. The view from the property was enough to convince us to purchase, all within 30 seconds. The house is modern, well built and certainly well looked after. I aim to provide a home away from home, and try to anticipate the needs of guests by providing so much more than most holiday lets.
Oh, and did I mention the pool!

What makes this property unique

Bundeena Base is only property in Bundeena that has a heated pool. At 8 meters long, it is decent size, perfect for family and friends, with pool chairs & table for meals and sun lounges to lap up those rays. It's perfect if you just want to spend time away from the world, but also to have for when you come back from the beach or walks. The pool system is fully automated, and uses a bionizer cleaning system. That means there is absolutely no chlorine in the pool and it's not a saltwater either. You will notice the difference immediately.

We provide 100% cotton or bamboo bedding (it surprises me how many properties don't) and towels. Pool towels and beach towels too, so you don't have to pack those into your luggage.

The water system to the house is also chlorine free. It's been filtered out on delivery to the building. You'll notice the taste immediately and your hair and skin will feel so much better after showering.

The rear garden is fully fenced, and we also allow dogs to stay.

If you are bringing bikes or surf boards, our garden gates are lockable.
