This charming farmhouse/coastal cottage is family-friendly & the perfect place for a couples getaway . Our entertaining deck & BBQ area has sweeping views of Pittwater.

The cottage is situated on Barrenjoey Road and has direct access via Barrenjoey Road, opposite Thyra Road (which is the best place is park during your stay).

Blue Salt Cottage has been completely been restored bringing this beach shack back to life. We have spent a lot of time and love to give it a warm and inviting feel. It is an extension of our family holiday home with treasures from family properties and we try to leave things in the house which may be helpful, its not just a "holiday rental". We hope you enjoy spending your break in it as much as we do.

A lovely place, just perfect
The property was even nicer than I expected. Roomy, nice views of the water, lots of light (and good blinds when light not wanted). A nice cheese waiting for us, too. Quiet. Parking convenient. We were in town for a wedding at Jonah's, which was very convenient; we also swam at Whale Beach (invigorating) and had breakfast at Palm Beach (delicious). Thanks!

Wedding accommodation
Stayed with my brother and sister-in-law for 4 nights to attend my nephews wedding. The photos did not lie. It was the quaintest. Little house and we had so much fun. Would totally recommend. Parking was not an issue at all. Thanks Rebecca, great house and great host.

About the host

Hosted by Rebecca Colvin

Host profile image
We are family of 5 with 3 active kids. We purchased this property (Blue Salt) in 2019 and have undertaken a transformational renovation which we hope you enjoy our beautiful home as much as our family does. We have travelled extensively so understand what people like in a property and have tried to provide everything to ensure you stay is enjoyable.

We live in Sydney but are not based at the property. We are however contactable and can assist with any questions or issues.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property given its convenient location (close to the beach, wedding venues, cafe's etc...), amazing views of Pittwater, and its proximity to Sydney. The cottage presented an opportunity to transform one of the original sandstone cottages in Palm Beach for ourselves and others to enjoy.
