Sydney is a conventional holiday destination, but just on the outskirts of Sydney exists a village called Bundeena, and it is a nature lover’s paradise. The village is surrounded by the Royal National Park and there are numerous beaches there. You can also go to the smaller village of Maianbar. A bush track and footbridge link both villages. For those who like to hike, you can go on the Bundeena-Maianbar Heritage Walk to view historical sites such as Scotsman’s Hill, the freshwater wetland of Yarmouth Swamp, the heritage-listed site at Simpson’s Hotel, Bundeena’s first shop and dairy Bundeena House, Bundeena Reserve and the old cabins along Maianbar. Bushwalkers can walk to Jibbon Point, which passes some fascinating Aboriginal rock carvings that are dated back to the Dharawal people, the original settlers of the area a century ago. Start your adventure here by booking one of our selected Airbnb vacation rentals in Bundeena, Australia!
