[Apartment Description and History]
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.

The apartment has an ocean and boat theme with a 48 year old timber kayak hanging on the main feature sandstone wall. A large wood carved sperm whale is on the window sill with a couple of old boat propellers, rudders and a ships steering wheel.
The apartment is located below our home.

[Access]
We'll provide you with keys, so you can come & go as you please. Instructions on how to access will be sent day of your check in.

[Apartment Climate]
Because this home is hand-carved directly into the Bondi Sandstone, it is a subterranean space. This provides an incredible, grotto-like atmosphere, but it comes with specific natural characteristics - there is generally a different climate - cooler than outside in summer & warmer than outside in winter. During or after rain, you will see natural ground water 'weeping' down the rock faces. We have designed the apartment with an internal catchment and pump system to manage this—it is a normal and intentional part of the architecture, but these walls can be damp to the touch.
With the ground water, apartment maintains a higher-than-outside humidity level. While we provide 2 high-capacity dehumidifiers you can run to ensure you’re comfortable, the space can hold a "cave-like" moisture without them during wet periods.

Due to the natural moisture levels inherent in natural underground sandstone walls , this may not be the best choice for those who suffer from Asthma or allergies triggered by natural dampness. We want you to prioritise your health and want to ensure this environment is a good fit for you.
