We stayed in the very spaciuos Beachcomer, enjoyed a spa and the peaceful tree view lounge, Our bedroom view, across a park land to the beach where Aviation History was made. Down stairs to the wonderfully warm hospitality of our host Ian. Enjoyed a glass of wine and conversation just flows like old friends.
It was very interesting to hear the history of the area, and gained helpful hints for our journey ahead.
Ian prepared a beautiful cooked breakfast, served in the lovely indoor/outdoor dinning room.
The calling of the Blue Mountains was all that dragged us away, we'll be back. More read less

The home starts at the entry and tumbles from floor to floor through beautiful rooms, with the most amazing decoration and style. BED is a cozy cocoon set amongst the greenery and BREAKFAST is a meal fit for a restaurant. Bacon, Eggs, herbed mushrooms, beans and delectable fresh bread. Or fresh fruit salad and yogurt? We stayed in the Sandpiper Spa Suite on the lower level and every single step was worth it. We will be back. read less

So some of the other things you can’t get a real feel for in photos: We had 3 delightful hosts - Ian, Jenny & John. All great cooks & breakfast was delicious & hearty (see fruit salad in our breakfast photo). The location is excellent - walking distance to the beach as well as a number of cafes; an art gallery; a large park where picnics, paragliding etc takes place etc. A v short drive takes you to a number of lovely restaurants - 2 of our favourites in Helensburg…my family from Sydney’s Sth met us at Red Nectar Saturday night - a 25 min drive they said. There’s also a train station at both Helensburg & Stanwell Park. Like others have said, the warm hospitality from Ian (as well as Jenny & John) was a highlight…we had drinks together on Ian’s stunning terrace on our last evening (before dinner in Helensburg). My husband & I had lots in common with them, including amusing travel stories, so was like catching up with old friends…& by “old” we mean it felt like we’d known them for ages.

As Ian couldn't be there, he entrusted the role of host to his good friends, Jenny and John who did an excellent job. They went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and put on a feast of a breakfast in the morning at a time that suited us. Ian has created a homely, interesting and cultured home and outside, the surroundings are beautiful. Nature and ocean; it's like a another world. read less

We are definitely going there again and highly recommended this place to everyone.

Wonderful garden and Ian is a wonderful host, welcoming and friendly. The bedroom we stayed in had a lovely view aross the garden and park to the ocean. We could hear the ocean at night. The breakfast was delicious - fruit, museli, cereal, eggs, bacon, mushrooms- and the setting amongst the trees is beautiful. Ian's recommendation for local cafes and restaurants were fabulous. He was also a wonderful source of information on local walks and local food producers. Can't wait to stay again! read less

Not too far from Sydney but had the best of Australian nature (the bush/tropical jungle & a beach right down the road) to experience. The cliffs surrounding stanwell park gave it such a peaceful atmosphere. Doing some work on our laptops by the ocean and coming back to a warm wood fire was magnificent. Ian is the most gracious, warm host that attend to all our needs and gives the best chats! Winter or summer the five decked house has the best to offer for a cosy home (the bathtub/spa in our suite was extravagant)… definitely would stay again. More read less

We chose the Sandpiper suite on the lower floor which featured a living garden wall and spa in the bathroom. What makes this property so special is the host, Ian. He goes above and beyond to make guests feel welcome and looked after. Nothing is too much trouble and his friendly and warm personality is like spending time with an old friend; Ian's attention to detail and finishing touches were incredible. We couldn't have asked for a more amazing stay as a weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Sunday morning breakfast was perfect, too. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a very well situated and cosy beach stay, with a very welcoming host in a beautifully decorated and thoughtful guest house. More read less

OceanBlue honestly has the best of both worlds of lush green and blue ocean all surrounded by cliffs. It’s paradise mixed with a cosy beachside home that is kept warm with a lovely indoor woodfire in the evening. The five decked house had such character and a delight to wander through. And the spa bath & home cooked breakkie in the morning… icing on the cake! We enjoyed our stay thoroughly and Ian was the most wonderful host that was there for all our questions and needs.

Ian spared no expense to ensure we felt at home and that our needs were accommodated.
The property is stunning with beautiful views and cosy rooms. We stayed in the Beachcomber suite and felt so well rested as the bed was so comfy.
Ian prepared amazing breakfast spreads and went above and beyond for our vegan dietary requirements.
