Love Notes

Simpson Cottage is as good if not better than the advertised material states. The house, simply furnished with a fabulously equipped kitchen and bathroom is a pure delight to stay in. The outdoor eating area with views to die for. The calm, safe beach just down the hill from the house took me back to my childhood as it reminded me of Nelson Park on Sydney's Harbour.

A perfect place for a three generation celebration such as we had. Gourmet meals, comfortable beds and plenty of space for kids to play. What more could you ask for!

Just had a fabulous night at the cottage, all really stylishly decorated love the beautifully renovated, fantastic towels and yummy linen sheets, really properly well equipped kitchen with a great bbq, love the inside and outside shower options and just a few steps to the water for a swim in crystal clear and calm sea! With the added bonus of being in Bundeena for council chuck out day for some pavement shopping!

 - HATTIE

Loved staying at Simpsons Cottage. Absolutely perfectly managed and maintained. Made us feel special.

 - CATH

Excellent place to relax and let your cares fade away! Would stay again!

 - PETER

We stayed for six pretty damp days with two energetic boys. I doubt I'd bring rough boys again. Simpson Cottage deserves to be cherished!

The beauty of the place is unsurpassable. The sublime sandstone, ocean views, waving trees, bird life, wildflower walks, sealife, luxurious linens and canoeing were wonderful.

I have also discovered eco soaps and essential oil fragrances. I doubt I'll ever be quite the same again.

Communication was clear and straightforward. Thank you.

Last night i slept in utter luxury. Its difficult explain how or why I loved my Simpson Cottage pure linen sheets so much except to say they are pure heaven.

I wanted to let you know how beautiful we thought the cottage and grounds were. You can see how much love and attention to detail have gone into the property, it was an absolute pleasure to have the opportunity to stay. And as amazing as the local scenery is, the boys were just as happy sitting on the veranda trying to talk to the cockatoos! It's definitely going to remain a travel highlight!
You have been an absolute pleasure to deal with and I thank you for the experience
Here's hoping you've had a lovely Easter weekend and thanks again Tia.

Simpson Cottage was the perfect venue for our family Christmas celebrations. The house oozes old world charm without compromising on modern amenities. The spacious kitchen and bathroom had all the mod cons, while at the same time, blending in fantastically with the old world feel of the rest of the cottage.
Our stay there was relaxing and really enjoyable. The property was very cozy but still capable of easily accommodating eight people.
We spent most of our time at the outside table, enjoying the magnificent views and taking full advantage of the close proximity to the water for occasional dips.
It's a great place to visit and very hard to leave.
We'll definitely be back.

We absolutely loved our time here. We had two families with four children between us. The beach was great even in May. The house was brilliant and we especially loved the view from the verandah. The cockatoos and parakeets loved to visit us to get an evening snack. Loved the underfloor heating!

 - VICTORIA

We loved this place. The effortless combination of traditional and contemporary means the best of both worlds. It was easy to find yourself drifting back in time trying to imagine the kind of life the first owners must have had, while sipping a nicely chilled Sauvignon in the luxurious bath.

There were nice touches throughout the house: ipod player, top notch bbq, a pagoda for quieter moments, a fantastically located outdoor dining area, coffee maker, open fire! We will be coming back!!

 - CARL

Had a fantastic girls weekend away at Simpson Cottage.

Arrived on the Friday afternoon, after a short drive through the National Park. The Cottage was so lovely and comfortable, with breath taking views of the water.

Saturday morning, we strolled down across the beach to the Bundeena township for breakfast.

I would recommend Simpson Cottage to anyone who wants a weekend getaway from the city.

Highly Recommended

Simpson's Cottage is perfect! The house is beautifully appointed and full of character, the beds are super comfortable, and the view from the garden is spectacular! We spent so much time at the garden table enjoying the winter sun. Thank you Tara!

5 Stars 🌟 A Truly Special Stay Simpson Cottage is an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, we could feel the care and attention to detail that has gone into creating this beautiful space. The styling is stunning, the home is spotless, and every little touch, from the well-equipped kitchen to the cosy nooks; made us feel right at home. The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset, and the peaceful surroundings made it the perfect escape from the everyday. Our kids loved exploring the garden, and we really appreciated how family-friendly the space was. It’s clear that the hosts have poured so much heart into this place..we were relaxed, inspired, and already planning our return before we even left. I’ve already recommended Simpson Cottage to friends and family, and can’t wait to come back. A truly special stay.

We went for ladies weekender for 2 nights in May. We got really lucky with the weather, the sun was shining and we had the best time eating/laughing/swimming, quick walk to Wedding Cake and then more eating. The rooms are spacious and kitchen has everything we needed to whip up all the meals. The bathtub was amazing, defo recommend if you have time for extra relaxation!! Tara is defo the host with the most. Hoping we can return in the nearest future!

No better way to kick off the school holidays than a stay at the Simpson Cottage. Such a beautiful and incredible place to unwind and switch off. Extensive grounds for the kids to run, outdoor dining where you can have dinner and watch the sun set and a trail from the backyard to the beach. Thank you so much for all your assistance and being such an awesome host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

This was our second stay at Simpson Cottage and it was just as good as the first stay. Once again the view, décor, lovely garden and the amazingly restored cottage were beautiful. The complimentary delicious food platter (dips, cheeses and other savoury delights) and bottle of wine really started our weekend off in style. The location is amazing and we enjoyed walks to Bonnie Vale and Bundeena. The view of the Port Hacking River is amazing. It really is a special place to spend a relaxing time away.

What an incredible experience! Simpson Cottage is without a doubt one of the most special and unique places we have ever stayed. The cottage is so clearly cherished by Tara and her family, it is lovingly cared for and we feel very grateful to have been able to have experienced it all. The location is fantastic and views from every angle are breathtaking. All the guests were blown away and many more excuses to rent the cottage again have been found! Tara was accommodating, friendly and we felt so very welcome. I cannot speak more highly of Simpson Cottage and it's caretakers. Thank you Tara x
