Nestled amongst vibrant, varied vegetation with only the ocean pulse and birdsong to be heard, tranquility beckons....Welcomed by a warm, thoughtful host who looked after all our cares, including a delicious breakfast enjoyed in an inviting room with a lovely vista over the green park and crashing waves on magical Autumn days. Very comfortable suite with sitting area and an indulgent spa bath. Walk to the beautiful Wodi Wodi track which leads you on an adventure into the escarpment, and to the stunning panoramic views from the Sea Cliff Bridge walk, as well as late afternoon/evening stroll on the beach where gliders gently land....my two sisters and my parents have all visited and so glad it was our turn to enjoy this lovely BnB. Thanks Ian More read less

Ian helped orchestrate the first experience to be such a surprise and a seamless and enjoyable evening for all. From the moment I spoke with Ian I knew he was the man for the job. Professional, caring and a genuinely thoughtful person. Our second visit was like coming home again. And Ian was again such a genuine and warm host, going above and beyond his duty such as recommending a place to eat, booking and offering to drive us to and from the location. Ian knows when to share in your joy and when to provide you with space. And he is an amazing cook - especially his tornado poached eggs and secret-recipe mushrooms! Accomodation is very clean, comfortable, and located in a very lush and private setting. A place that has it all. We look forward to many return visits. More read less

The great reviews of his place are all completely spot on. Ian is a fantastic host, the house is beautiful, our suite felt both homely and classy, and the property is walking distance to the beach yet feels incredibly secluded. It really is a wonderful place to make as your base for exploring or if you simply wish to slow down and chill out. Ian offers continental and cooked breakfast - must try his awesome mushrooms! Great host, amazing house, cafes nearby, easy access to the surrounding region. We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Ian! read less

Ian made us feel very welcome within the first 2 minutes and gave us a tour of his gorgeous property. Our room was very private and well appointed. There was a separate lounge area, a side deck overlooking lush tropical garden and a front deck (complete with outdoor shower) that overlooked the park. The most beautiful feature was the vertical garden behind the freestanding spa bath! The whole setting was very romantic and within walking distance to the beach. Breakfast was generous and we got to meet the other house guests who were very friendly and made for lively conversation. Ian is warm and attentive and made us feel like we were at our own holiday house. read less

Ocean BnB is located about a 10 miles walk to the stanwell park beach, 10 minutes walk to local cafes and a 10 minutes drive to some great restaurants.

The house:
We were amazed how well the house is designed, the interiors, timber sloping roof and all the tiny details all over the house was something out of a story book. There are 5 decks and we were on deck 4 in the sauna room. Neat, clean, tidy and sterilized room with top notch service. The landscaping is extraordinary and kudos to Ian for maintaining it the way it is. A lot of effort and time goes into it.

Verdict:
If you plan to visit stanwell park and want to relax in the midst of nature then look no other place. Ian is a fantastic host and you won’t be disappointed. read less

Our daughters were right and my wife and I have just spent the weekend in this lovely home with host, Ian, being a very caring host. The property is very tastefully decorated with all mod cons and it is set in a beautiful part of the South Coast. Ian's attention to detail in every way, adds much to the experience. My wife and I have stayed in many B and Bs all around the world and Ocean Blue is up there with the very best. Our third daughter has now booked to stay here, so our whole family will have enjoyed the great experience. More read less

We had the warmest welcome from Ian from the time we arrived until we left.

From great local knowledge of the area to leaving each morning with a full belly of such tasty food for breakfast.He even went out of his way to make us some Irish poatoate cake.

As for the house itself, so beautiful clean and homely. The comfort of the bed we didn't want to get up both mornings.

Close walk to the Beach for amazing sunrise and sunset

Thanks again Ian for everything you were a true gentleman and and amazing host.We will be sure to be back in the near future
