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. Moreread 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

Ian was a graceful host who warmly welcomed us immediately on arrival and gave us an inviting tour of our stay and provided us any information we needed for our getaway.
Our suite was well kept and maintained on arrival with plenty ammenities and supplies for all purposes to use.
Particular highlight of our stay was the wonderful array of breakfast provided by Ian, make sure to request his wonderful egg breaky especially the mushrooms!
The location is close to the beach and only a short drive from some amazing lookouts, local cafes and stunning coastal landscapes.
The only regret we had was not staying longer! Moreread less

Exactly what a B & B should be which is getting harder and harder to find. The facilities are spectacular. Clean and tidy which is critical in the current COVID 19 climate. Ian the host is very friendly and great to have a chat with if you want to. The B & B is an easy 5 minute walk to the beach. The breakfast would be easily the best we have had at a B & B and we have stayed at quite a few. The hot breakfast mushrooms were fantastic! If you are looking for somewhere to stay in the Wollongong area you would not be disappointed staying with Ian. The spa suits are spectacular. Moreread less

The B&B is set in a perfect location for exploring Stanwell Park and the surrounding areas. Only five minutes walk to the beach and local cafes. Our room was private and spacious with the most beautiful outdoor deck and shower set amongst the rainforest. The bathroom in our room was truly something else with lush tropical plants covering the entire wall above the spa bath. A plant lovers heaven! Our host Ian was so welcoming and hospitable from the moment that we arrived. He went above and beyond to make us comfortable and at home. Ian cooked us a delicious breakfast daily in the beautiful sunroom and was such a delight to chat to each morning. We will be back!read less

Be transported to a nature retreat while being hosted by the lovely Ian. All the amenities you need are provided, including thoughtful touches such as wine glasses and platters for cheese. You can enjoy a drink at the 'bush bar' overlooking the backyard and park. The cooked breakfast provided at the alfresco dining area is as delicious as it is enjoyable. You can relax in your room with Netflix, walk amongst nature or stroll down to the beach. I highly recommend you stay here as you won't regret it!
