Mackerel getaway

I can only give an emphatic recommendation for this property for any couple or family looking for a Sydney getaway. Anders the host is incredibly helpful in ensuring that your stay is seamless and you enjoy all the perks that the property and surroundings provides. We have a family of 4 with kids 8 and 10 and will definitely look to come back. I said to Anders that the photos don’t do justice how good the ambience is sitting on the deck with a sundowner looking at that view!

Great weekend with friends

The weekend was spectacular. The views and bush walks were beautiful & it was the perfect vantage point to also watch the fronts and rain roll in. We will be back - likely for romantic getaways with our partners. Thanks to Anders & Nicole

Spectacular views and serenity

Perfect place to get away and unwind with a spectacular view and enjoy the seclusion and tranquility. Great trails for some walking and the house has everything needed to just stay in and enjoy the fireplace and look out at the boats and the water.

Hooked on the great mackerel

Our favourite things about the stay were... the adventure it took to arrive at the destination, the tranquility, the view and elevation, feeling part of the beautiful rock face/cave, the great swimming spots and the gentle sounds of water lapping on the rocks at night, Heaven !

Amazing spot for a summer stay!

We stayed at this amazing property for four nights in January. We swam, bushwalked and just relaxed on the balcony. We called the view from the deck ‘Pittwater TV’ because you can sit there with a wine and watch the world float past. Anders was so helpful and the advice about how to find the place was very clear. Consider how you will minimise waste on this holiday - leave excess packaging at home. Thank you! We loved our stay.

Beautiful weekend get away, out of Sydney yet so close

Unique weekend getaway experience. The beach is pristine. The views on the deck and gorgeous. Only issue was the mozzies at night. Bring tonnes of aerogard. The host supplied lots and also had nets over the beds which was helpful. They had a well supplied kitchen so since there are no shops this was handy. The walks around the area are so beautiful. Just great for a family get away. Walk and Stairs to the house are fine. Just being what you need, no more.
