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. Moreread 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. Moreread 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. Thank you so much.read less

His architecture, design and decor was stunningly honed with passion. Many elements of the house blew me away, including it's location and set-up. This felt much more like a resort or spa than an AirBnB booking.
During our stay, two other guests were accommodated in Ian's house. We each had private rooms with ensuites but were offered the opportunity to relax in Ian's communal lounge (amazingly set up with comfortable lounges and wood fire). Ian is also a formidable chef who offers a delicious dining experience. We ate dinner and breakfast together and Ian easily accommodated for our Vegetarian diets with creative, tasty dishes.
The house was loaded with entertainment; books and televisions with Netflix and WiFi. However, none of this was needed given Ian's incredible hospitality; he is a wonderful, accommodating and skillful host.read less

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!

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
