Recent events prompting changes in lifestyle and the way we work has driven a movement from the city towards a sea change. We’re seeing more and more people bring forward their plans to escape the fast pace of city life and, with overseas travel on the backburner, the idyllic coastal townships of the New South Wales coast hold more appeal than ever. Bundeena, one hour’s drive from the CBD, is the perfect choice for those who want to get back to nature but want to be within easy reach of Sydney. Debbie Donnelley says, “The global coronavirus pandemic has prompted a rethink of priorities for many, with more family time and access to the great outdoors, beaches and bushland high on the wish list. Just 55km south of Sydney, Bundeena is a perfect destination with pristine beaches and a friendly village vibe ideal for those seeking a sea change or a weekend getaway.”

We have a fantastic choice of properties that fit the bill, four in Bundeena and one in Killcare. Just 200m to Horderns Beach, 16 Liverpool Street, Bundeena is a coastal compound on 1,180sqm with a three-bedroom residence and two self-contained cabins making it ideal as either a home and investment prospect or holiday rental.
