The apartment was cut and built into the Bondi sandstone with the generous help of my 3 children and friends over 2 years. It has exposed sandstone walls with polished concrete floors & plywood timber ceilings.

Apartment Climate
Because the apartment is cut into the natural sandstone rock - there is generally a different climate - cooler than outside in summer & warmer than outside in winter. It can be a humid in the apartment after rain however we have two dehumidifiers if the humidity becomes uncomfortable.
The sandstone is designed to allow the ground water that naturally comes out of the rock to trickle down over the face of the sandstone.This is a feature of the apartment - the water then drains to a catchment drain where it is pumped to the outside. A pump system is also used to remove the shower, toilet, kitchen & washing machine waste water to the outside sewer system.
In times of heavy rain the apartment can be humid and may not be the best choice for those who suffer from Asthma.

Summary: There was plenty of space in this apartment for 5 adults, and the 3 extra beds in the lounge were comfortable. The location is an easy walk to public transport and very close to the wonderful Bondi-Coogee coastal walkway. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this sandstone oasis in a great location!
darla e. May 19, 2025 07:22:01 AM
Summary: The property was super unique and nothing like other accommodations on the market. HOWEVER before you stay here know that because you are under ground and the floors are concrete it is extremely cold, with one oil heater that barely works, and it is extremely damp even with all the dehumidifiers on. all our clothes had this smell to them and were damp to the touch. We also had a huntsman spider come out from the wall which was huge and we helped it move outside but the place is not soundproof so be aware of that and you don’t get a spare towel either and can’t shut the window in the bathroom as it is up too high. But the communication with the owner was great and again super unique. parking situation was good because there is a disability park basically right outside and the coffee shop across the road was super useful !

Summary: Beautiful apartment w so many unique features, walkable to beach and really nice/helpful owner, John. Lots of space! Easy to take bus into Sydney too. Would definitely stay here again.
Susan W. Apr 13, 2025 06:20:59 PM
Summary: Property as pictured - perfect for our weekend in Sydney. Quirky sandstone feature within apartment beautiful! Conveniently located between Bondi & Tamarama - a short downhill walk to both beaches & the spectacular Bondi-Coogee walkway. Great cafe just across road. Friendly hosts - thank you!
Lara W. Apr 10, 2025 09:12:56 AM

Maura C. Sep 20, 2024 10:27:41 AM
Summary: Brilliant location, only a short walk to Bondi and Tamarama beaches, and a great cafe across the road for coffee and lunches. The apartment was perfect for our needs as a family of four adults. We even enjoyed a game on the table tennis table!
Kerensa A. Jun 20, 2024 05:17:19 PM
Summary: Gemma was so kind to let our family of five move in early. We had a very nice stay with plenty of room. The location to get to the beach, public transportation, and good food is all easily walkable. We felt very safe in this neighborhood. The sandstone in the apartment is beautiful, but it is pretty humid with the rain and the dehumidifier was a bit loud as others have mentioned. Not too big of a deal. We highly recommend Gemma's apartment.

Summary: This was our favorite accomodation for our visit to the Bondi/Sydney area!! The host was so friendly and accomodating....they are very nice and go above and beyond!! The place is incredibly clean and comfortable. It's also in the best location, with the best cafe right across the street!! We hope to be back here someday! Thanks Gemma and John!!

Summary: I came over to Aus with three of my children for a holiday to visit my daughter who is working in Sydney. The accommodation was as described and well equipped, and in fact the host was kind enough to buy us a clothes airer for bikinis etc (there is a tumble dryer and heated towel rail also). The accommodation did get somewhat damp following a tropical storm, especially in the back bedroom, however the dehumidifier helped, and it dried quickly when the rain stopped. The overall location is second to none, and a nice walk to Tamara and Bondi beaches, and a convenient bakery across the road where we got our breakfast croissants from (staff very friendly and got to know my name). My family and I would happily stay here again :)
