Ian has created lovely space and the garden is just so beautiful!
It is close to the beach and to a couple of restaurants and cafes but it really feels like it is nestled away. The room was really cozy, with some really beautiful views - and the bath was great!
Ian was friendly and helpful, and provided us with a full Brekky and plenty of recommendations!
Would come here again.read less

Ian is definitely the best host we have ever had at a B&B. He went out of his way to make us comfortable and was happy to join us in our socialising whilst also making an effort to give us privacy if we wanted. Great location only a short walk from the beach and in a stunning setting. We could not recommend more highly. We certainly look forward to catching up with Ian again.read less

The location was fantastic - we could step out of our room straight onto the lawns and wander down to the beach. The accomodation was tranquil, very well maintained, comfortable and relaxing. We wished we'd stayed longer!
Ian was a fantastic host - extremely friendly and made us feel right at home. Ian prepared an amazing breakfast on the terrace for our group which was a highlight. We loved the old fashioned hospitality which is so rare these days. Thanks again Ianread less

We had such a wonderful, relaxing weekend getaway here for our 20th wedding anniversary. Ian is such a warm and welcoming host, always available to help yet respects your privacy. He does a great breakfast too and it is just lovely sitting out on his deck to eat. And how great to be able to walk everywhere for a change - to the beach, to the local Thai place for dinner, cafes. Such a great base to explore the National Park and the nearby coastal towns. We highly recommend Ocean Blue and plan to return. Thankyou Ian!read less

What makes this place wonderful is Ian. He is a wonderful host - nothing is too difficult. He has thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. Breakfast was wonderful and there's a coffee machine and tea in your room. He has lots of advice on where to go, where to eat etc and knows the history of the area so makes it all interesting. It felt more like staying at a friends place as he was very friendly and accommodating. Ian creates a friendly atmosphere with all his guests - you come as a guest and leave as a friend. The room had everything you need and then some. The view was lovely and the path down to the house seems like you were in Bali with the amazing range of tropical plants... Highly recommended! And huge thanks Ian. Moreread less

Ian, the host, is just amazing, looking after all your needs and making you feel instantly at home. The house is beautifully arranged with lots of personal touches and the welcome is so warm you immediately feel relaxed. We stayed in the Beachcomber suite, which has its own cute living room area and a gorgeous bathroom. There are also lots of other cozy places within the house to relax and unwind. The breakfast is a feast, served on an elegant terrace overlooking lush gardens. From the garden, it’s a short walk to the beach and the Royal National Park is close at hand. I will treasure the lovely evenings we spent with our host and his amazing hospitality. Moreread less

Ian was an absolutely incredible host- his friendliness and hospitality was beyond amazing... not to mention him whipping some food up for us at 11pm after we got back from our wedding day hungry & exhausted! The accommodation was perfectly clean, the bed was so comfortable, breakfast was wonderful and the location was perfect- water views and a 2 minute walk right onto the beach. Would definitely recommend Ocean Blue.. especially if you are a couple planning or looking to get married at the Tumbling Waters Retreat! So close, convenient and an excellent place to stay. Would be delighted to come back here for sure. Thank you for making everything extra special for us, Ian! Moreread less

In the traditional style of bnb’s we were welcomed by host Ian who throughout our stay made every effort to ensure our comfort providing scrumptious breakfasts, recommendations for things to do and interesting information about the area. This beautiful home is well located in a tropical setting a short walk from the beach. The Seacliff Drive walk and bushwalks are near bye as are good quality restaurants and pubs. We found there was plenty of things to do and it was also an easy place to relax and chill so we recommend it and will definitely be back.read less

Our highlights included relaxing on the secluded deck watching native birds, breathtaking ocean walks and the extraordinary vertical garden in the Sandpiper’s bathroom. It’s something else.read less

The amazing location and surrounding are hard to capture in photos. The house is located in a beautiful park near a creek. It felt a bit like being in Bali in the middle of a rain forest. I should add that we ended up staying in the Sandpiper Suite. We really enjoyed waking up to the green outlook. But the Beachcomber Suite which has a view of the ocean looked equally great. The beach is only a short walk away. There’s a great Thai restaurant (as well as some other places we didn’t try) just up the road and lots of walks and other activities to do in close driving distance. Ian was an amazing host, warm and welcoming, and we can confirm what others have posted about the delicious breakfast he prepares for his guests every morning.read less
