Stunning location
Beautiful water aspect in a bush setting. Right on the water’s edge. Relaxing, quiet and tranquil. Easy to be part of the fishing and water activities from the upstairs verandah. Host was accommodating and easy to communicate with. The house has a rustic charm but is in need of some TLC. Fly screens a refresh of linen, cushions & glassware would make a difference. Overall location can’t be beaten - we all had a very relaxing enjoyable weekend.

A huge thankyou to the hosts for making us feel welcome and enjoying all there was to offer in the wilderness. Definately recommend this place for a getaway ,it's private and definately spacious.

As relaxing as it gets.
The house is great. The view beautiful. Every room overlooks the water. Plenty of room, equipped for every situation and a deck that once you've sat down on .. it's very hard not to stay there the whole day. There is a pontoon that we sat on and had a glass of wine as the sun set. We chartered a Halverson for a four hour trip around Pittwater that was magic, ate at The Kiosk a short walk away, the Cottage Point Inn is around the corner. Very good communication with the owners. Comfortable, relaxing, 'very' highly recommended.
