About this property

'THE PRIORY' Luxury Collection Palm Beach

THE PRIORY

The Priory, built in the 1930's, is a magnificent 4 storey sandstone home occupying 1600 square metres of land in prestigious Palm Beach. The Pittwater views are enhanced by the horizon swimming pool and beautiful native tree line. The stunning interior design and original artworks blend the old and new to create an attractive, comfortable and stately environment. This grand mansion is an idyllic private hideaway.

The gardens are beautifully manicured and framed with sandstone creating a tranquil environment to maximise the water views of Pittwater and the National Park.

Stroll across the road to have a wonderful dining experience at the Relais et Chateaux, Jonah's Restaurant.

You will enjoy total privacy in this luxurious setting.

FEATURES

The Priory has 4 bedrooms (3 of which have ensuites), each with a queen sized bed. Each bedroom is very spacious. The master bedroom boasts a sunken spa and walk in wardrobe and occupies the entire top storey.

The oversized kitchen has everything you ever wanted in your own home and more. Adjoining the kitchen is the dining table and sunroom, with Smart tv, that leads out to the top deck for informal entertaining where you can enjoy sundowners and/or breakfast views over Pittwater & Kurringai National Park.

The more formal lounge room is perfect for a quiet book curled up on the couch and in the winter you can luxuriate in front of the open fire in the original sandstone fireplace.

The mid level boasts a separate media room featuring a drop screen and sound system.

Taking a leisurely dip in the horizon swimming pool with heated spa is a must! A beautiful cabana with gas BBQ is located next to the pool.

On the pool level is another sunroom with dining table, Smart tv, and more kitchen facilities. Perfect for poolside dining.

Backing on to the McKay Reserve, The Priory, is a perfect location for nature lovers with plenty of bird watching.

Amazing Home

My family and I stayed at the Priory for three nights for a family wedding at Jonah's. The location and house were perfect for us with two very young grandchildren for which we arranged a babysitter. The house and pool are stunning. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Beautiful oasis

Truly a beautiful historic home and a real oasis. Lovely spot for a group of friends to eat, drink and spend time together! House feels large with lots of seating areas for both privacy if you want to be alone but also gatherings. Really loved it! The street and location also fantastic right near Whale and Palm Beach. And the pool has incredible greenery and bird watching around it! Plus a water view of Pittwater.

Simply Beautiful

I used the Priory as base for my bridesmaids and family for the day of and day prior to my wedding in Palm Beach. The house was simply stunning and classic in every way. All of the bedrooms were so generous in size, plenty of bathrooms, plenty of space for us to be able to have meals together and for us all to get ready. The grounds were kept immaculate. The house was immaculate. Everything we could have needed was provided. The view of the water was beautiful. The pool and outdoor area were divine. Also, having a Northern beaches parking sticker provided was brilliant, and not someone people think of needing until you are there. Claudia, our property manager was beyond accommodating and thoughtful. Her communication was exceptional, a huge thank you to her for making it a wonderful experience.

Fabulous stay

Our three night stay at The Priory for our extended family (five adults and two kids) was great. Plenty of space and separate living areas, lots of outdoor space, a fab pool and heated spa, and (of course) that view! Would definitely stay again!

A beautiful house, so quiet & perfectly appointed

We had such a lovely weekend at The Priory. We had a few friends and family come join us to celebrate a special birthday and it was a very enjoyable stay. The house is stunning and over a few levels so good to give people some space if they want it and have kids sleep quietly. It's very well appointed and is so quiet, making it the perfect escape from busy city life. Highly recommended!

We are shocked at how big the house is and the level of details the owner has put into decorating the house. Swimming pool and spa are phenomenal!!

Fantastic beach escape so close to Sydney

The house was amazing and exactly as represented in the photos. Its unique design moving down the side of the hill was great for our extended family. It gave my parents the quiet of the upstairs master suite and left us and our kids with plenty of sleeping and living space below the main level - which itself had stellar views of the Pittwater. We will absolutely be back. First class - thanks David.

Amazing property

Our family recently stayed at the Priory for a long weekend. We were celebrating a wedding in the family in the area and thought it would be a good opportunity to spend time together before the "big day". The Priory was the perfect accommodation. The house, the grounds, the pool... 6 star :) Couldn't have asked for a better venue :) Thank you Claudia for your friendly and professional concierge services :) Thank you David for sharing your amazing property :) We will be back !!!!!!

Luxurious Palm Beach Escape

My husband and I stayed with a group of friends (four adults and two kids) over a long weekend. The house had everything we needed including pool, spa and coffee machine. Everyone had plenty of space and privacy. It was wonderful to be able to walk across the road to Jonah's for dinner, as well as enjoy many BBQs by the pool

Wonderful accommodation experience

Wow! what an amazing property! Everything about The Priory is exceptional. The pictures do not do this place justice and I feel very privileged to have spent some magically nights at the house. The entire house is beautifully decorated. The kitchen- oh the kitchen! - is exceptionally high quality, as is the rest of the furnishings. The house is big enough to very comfortably accommodate four adult couples. The pool is magnificent and we made good use of the BBQ! Claudia, the property manager is absolutely wonderful to deal with!

We had an amazing 2 week family holiday at The Priory. Fabulous property with great communal areas as well as plenty of hideaways for quite time. Beautifully appointed for all sorts of occassions - fabulous views over Pittwater,stunning pool and terrace area with BBQ, sunset dining on the balcony, very private yet handy to Palm Beach and Whale Beach. We loved it - had to drag the kids to the beach each day because they didn't want to leave..!
