There are places that take you away from it all, and then there are places that make you feel like you have found something you did not know you were looking for. The Cowan Suite is firmly the latter.
Sitting within the grounds of one of Sydney's most iconic waterfront destinations, this beautifully appointed private apartment looks out over 180 degrees of Cowan River and the untouched bushland of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. From the moment you step inside and see the floor-to-ceiling windows framing the water beyond, you know this one is different.
Inside, the apartment unfolds into a warm, light-filled open-plan living, dining and kitchen space that is designed for the kind of stillness that is genuinely hard to find. Timber floors run throughout, natural rattan furnishings and woven pendant lighting give the space a calm, considered feel, and the glass doors open wide onto your private balcony where the Cowan River stretches out before you in every direction. On a still morning with a coffee in hand and the national park reflected across the water, there is nowhere else you would rather be.
The kitchen is well-appointed and ready for whatever the morning calls for. A Nespresso machine is ready to go and everything you need for a relaxed start to the day is right at your fingertips, before you step outside and let the view do the rest.
The bedroom is peaceful and private, with quality bedding and an atmosphere that makes it genuinely hard to leave.
Our bedding configuration is as follows:
Bedroom: 1 x King Bed
And then there is the location itself. Cottage Point Inn is famous for a reason. Guests fly in by seaplane from Rose Bay. Others arrive by boat from Palm Beach. The restaurant serves 5 and 8 course tasting menus with an award-winning wine list, drawing couples celebrating the moments that matter and discerning food lovers looking for something they will not forget. Staying overnight here means waking up in the middle of all of it. That is something most guests never get to do.
Things to know:
Friday and Saturday night stays include a 5 course dinner or lunch for two at the restaurant as part of your booking. If you would like to upgrade to the full 8 course menu with wine pairings, simply reach out to the restaurant directly to arrange it. For stays on other nights, we strongly recommend booking a table for lunch or dinner to complete the experience. It books out quickly, so plan ahead.
Getting here: Cottage Point is approximately one hour by car from Sydney's CBD. You can also arrive by daily boat from Palm Beach, or by seaplane direct to the restaurant pontoon. However you choose to arrive, the journey is part of the experience.
