Incredible spot for a getaway. When we arrived the place smelt amazing and was clean and tidy. The view is amazing from all aspects of the property. Very impressed by all the teas, coffees and everything else that was provided. Robert has really thought of everything and you couldn’t really ask for more. I will be recommending this place to everyone and I will miss the beautiful view and the serenity.

The property is gorgeous, it was very clean, smelled lovely and its perfect for a quiet getaway, or you can also chose to access other common areas available at the property to mingle with other guests, or you can stay couped up in your own private comfortable space.

Stanwell Tops Getaway

Property was cute and great for a couple. A bit of a distance to shops/restaurants so be sure to be self sufficient or prepared to drive. Beautiful outlook and comfortable stay. Great base to explore the Illawarra escarpment area. Clear communications with owner and easy checkin.

Neat and modern

The place was great, plenty of amenities and very clean. Parking on street was easy and check-in/getting in was simple. The only thing missing from this place was a kitchen sink - super hard to wash dishes in a small sink that is also used for bathroom and hand washing.

Awesome Studio in the heart of Stanwell Tops

I thoroughly enjoyed having base camp set up in the middle of Stanwell Tops. The studio was very modern and new, and with a sense of a little bit of added grandeur. A lovely place to relax and unwind after getting out to some of the local beaches or hiking tracks, and lots of good options nearby for food. Nice gateway to the coast. Rob was a great host and we loved the stay.

Was lovely and unique place to stay. My only issue was the bathroom mirror is very high and I am not tall. The lighting could also be better for me to do hair and make up. Apart from this the location and facilities were excellent.

Disliked: Amenities
Quality fittings, furnishings and beautiful window view but otherwise mediocre. Misleading false primary photo showing table and seating, toilet located in small frosted glass cupboard in front of the TV. Very inconvenient neck breaking position to watch TV. All adds up to a very diappointing overpriced unit.
