Robin and Garry, thank you for such a beautiful stay at Barrenjoey. It truly felt like something out of a fairytale. The property is peaceful, stunning, and so thoughtfully set up, with incredible attention to detail throughout the house and cottage. Everything was perfectly prepared and made our stay so comfortable. Our family loved exploring the gardens and enjoying the quiet surroundings.

Beautiful accommodation in a beautiful setting

We originally booked to stay here for three nights, and ended up extending it an extra night we were so taken with the property. Well appointed, generously stocked, full of character and lovely hosts. We would definitely recommend this as a family or romantic getaway.
