Amazing property in beautiful location

One of the rare property stays where the property is even better in person than the photos – and I like the photos! Beautifully designed interior, nestled on a hill overlooking Pittwater. Had some guests visiting from overseas and this was a perfect spot for them to stay to see how beautiful Sydney is.

Absolutely wonderful holiday house! The living room has a warm, joyful vibe that makes you feel right at home. You could easily spend the whole day relaxing on the cozy window seat. The lush greenery surrounding the house is incredibly refreshing and adds to the peaceful atmosphere. The entire house was spotless and thoughtfully stocked with everything you might need for a comfortable stay.

Great stay at the "magical jungle house"

We stayed here for a long weekend with friends and family. My 4-year called the place "magical jungle house". It was relaxing and peaceful to just spend time in the property. We also did a few hikes and went to resolute beach. Highly recommended.

Last Few Days

We stayed here for the last few days of a three week trip. It was the perfect location to "do" Sydney for a day, and spend lots of time at nearby beaches, restaurants and shopping. Less than an hour to SYD airport was also a plus. Beyond the proximity to fun things to do, you're going to want to spend plenty of time at the actual house. The vibe is so relaxing and the amenities are wonderful.

Treehouse experience

Hideaway in Sydney

The property was as described and it was beautiful looking out onto the living areas and the view. Lots of privacy. The property manager was prompt in their reply. The driveway to the property is a sharp turn so look out for that one. Would love to stay there again one day.

Absolutely Stunning.

Although our stay was short, this gorgeous house made up for it. The location also made it made it that much better. Water views from the living rooms are amazing with sail boats passing every morning. Really accessible, maximum 10 minutes from everything. I could go on for ages so i will end it here!

Even more beautiful in real life

When you’re a mum, you go away for a weekend to escape the chaos, live in a little luxury and be inspired by your surroundings. I was so glad I chose this house for our weekend away. It allowed us all our own space with multiple living areas, a generous amount of bathrooms (which came in handy when we were all getting ready for a long lunch at local - Bert’s!), it was pristinely clean, very comfortable and full of decorating inspiration - inside and out. Can’t wait to find n excuse to book it again.

The perfect getaway

We had a wonderful girls' getaway at this clean and beautifully maintained property. It was exactly how we envisioned it—stylish, welcoming, and perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The space was quite spacious, giving each of us plenty of room to feel comfortable. It was ideal for catching up, lounging, and enjoying quality time together. The amenities and appliances were all there, making it a well-equipped and convenient location for our stay. Everything from the kitchenware to the cozy furniture added to our comfort. We left feeling refreshed and happy. Highly recommend for a relaxing retreat with friends!

Next door is a noisy construction site from 7am.That was disappointing.I would suggest that during this period some type of concession could be offered on the weekday rate.

This Church Point home was an absolute gem. From the moment we arrived, it felt calm, refined and beautifully curated — a truly luxurious space that made the entire stay feel special.The house was immaculately presented, with thoughtful details throughout and a sense of comfort and elegance that allowed us to fully relax. It offered the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience, making it an ideal base to enjoy the surrounding waterways, Palm Beach and the ferry access to nearby bays.Waking up to the peaceful surroundings and returning each day to such a well-appointed, tranquil home was a highlight of the weekend. Everything about the space felt intentional, generous and designed for unwinding.We’re incredibly grateful to have stayed here and would highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a luxurious, serene escape in one of the most beautiful parts of the Northern Beaches. We would happily return. Annie the host was absolutely lovely to deal with!

Great Experience

We stayed here for aour daughters wedding. It was wonderful. The only problems were minor but did detract.The key was difficult to get to and get out of its box especially when raining. The noise of the dripping rain on the roof was not conducive to sleep.
