About this property
Apartment 1 - The Coachhouse
This entire beautiful, cosy, light filled, ground floor apartment is complete with its own private level courtyard leading onto a tropical garden which allows you direct access to the beach. Kick off your shoes and unwind, sink your feet into the sand down to the surf, without leaving your backyard or having to cross any roads. Conveniently located on Pittwater Road for public transport and ease of access. The apartment has a street entry from Clarke Street (dead end with parking) and direct backyard access; both leading to the beach. You could not pick a better location! Additionally, this apartment is wheelchair accessible, however the second bedroom does have a small step.
Please note that there is a 3 night minimum stay.
This fully furnished Airbnb unit has a large living room with a flat screen TV, complementary Netflix and high-speed wifi for fast web browsing, streaming and email access, your own washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, King bed (can be made as singles), a private Courtyard with outdoor dining, plus all the other essentials you'll need on your vacation.
We understand the difference a good night's sleep makes. Our king-sized bed in the bedroom is one of the comfiest around, with fresh linen provided for each stay. This bedroom is air conditioned and has a wardrobe with plenty of storage.
The second bedroom is also fitted under the same bedding setup, and can be changed from its existing King Bed to two King Singles, also featuring a reverse-cycle air-conditioner.
In the kitchen, a neat workbench is available to be used as your space to cook up an indoor breakfast, before enjoying it on your private courtyard, whilst admiring the sunrise over the sea.
Naturally - fresh linen & towels are provided.

It was good to meet Monique her sons and her beautiful dog. It was fortunate that one of our pet friendly apartments was available. They were great guests and followed the house rules by keeping her dog on the private terrace leading onto the back yard and beach.
We look forward to hosting them again in the future.
Location was terrific, near where I used to live. Proximity to beach, shops, restaurants and buses
We will certainly stay here again next time we are in Sydney!

Hi Garth
It was great to meet you and the family. Being right on the beach must have been a good reminder of the joys of Sydney and especially Narrabeen.
We look forward to you staying with us again the next time you are in Oz.
My husband and I stayed here for some quality time together before his complex cancer surgery. We loved the sound of the waves to fall asleep to at night and watch the perfect pink sunrise… just what the doctor ordered. Very helpful host and definitely will stay again .
stayed at the coachhouse apt one, for 5 nights with a friend and my old dog!lloved the closeness to the water and loved the fact that a cafe was next door !The beds were very comfortable and the apartment was all you would need for a relaxing holiday right on the water....we didnt have a car which was a bit restricting for shopping but there were buses close Would def recommendKay

Delightful Holiday Retreat
The appartment we stayed in was compact but had every thing we needed. The location is excellent. We stayed in May so it was a bit cool for swimming. In the warmer months it would be ideal.
The owners were very friendly and easy to deal with.
We would stay again.

Hi Trevor
Thanks for your review, it really is a fantastic place to stay. The apartment that you stayed in has now been upgraded to a two bedroom apartment giving a larger space, especially for more than two guests.
This winter really has not occurred, and the water has been great for swimming.
We are looking forward to a warm summer and would love to host you again the next time you want a beachfront getaway.
Biggest thing for me was having an awesome mattress. Made my stay soooo much more enjoyable than anywhere else I’ve stayed. Beach was so close which was great for the kids. Public transport was right at the corner. If I ever go back to Sydney I won’t bother looking for other accommodation I would just book here again for sure.

Great place to stay!
This is the second time we've stayed in apartment 3 and it did not disappoint! Everything was clean, towels fluffy and the heater kept up toastie warm all night long. I love the bonus supplies left to use, very thoughtful.
The only negative is I would never book again through HomeAway, go through Ocean apartments instead (HomeAway was rude and hard to deal with).
Going through Ocean Apartments was great as you actually deal with the owner Dan.
Will definitely be staying here again.

Thanks for the review Suzi, we really try very hard to make every experience staying with us very special. We would love to host you again, when you want a beachfront retreat. Also we have placed a reverse cycle air conditioner in the apartment to give you an even warmer experience in the winter and a cool one in the summer. We look forward to seeing you again.
The apartment was clean and well equipped. It’s position right on Narrabeen beach is second to none and the fact that it also has access to a shared garden overlooking the beach with plenty of seating where you can sit and watch dolphins and whales (we were there in October) go past was just wonderful.
Robert (the owner) is friendly and helpful
The apartment is compact and has everything you could need. It is right on the beach with a lovely communal grass area along the beach side, with tables & chairs. Great for watching the sunrise.
The beds are very comfortable too.

Beautiful....Wonderful....Absolutely the perfect place to stay.
My wife and I stayed 4 nights and loved every minute. This beach front property has a panoramic and relaxing view of one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia. Our condo was extremely clean throughout and well maintained. The owner, who obviously loves this property, and his employees, have something very special here...and it shows. Thank you Robert and Candice !

Thanks Steve and Vicki for your kind words.
Our discussions in the backyard were very enjoyable and interesting
The weather was superb while you were staying with us, however your desire for winds didn't eventuate until late in your stay.
Glad you had a good time and we welcome you to stay with us again the next time you are in Australia and looking for some time on the beach.
Kind regards
Robert
About the host
Hosted by Dan Wiggins
Ocean Apartments are a family-based endeavour, intertwining professionalism, experience, design and modernisation to share the Australian beachside with people from around the world.
Whether you're looking at a summer getaway or some winter whale watching, each self-contained apartment is fitted with full-sized kitchen, laundry services, free WIFI and Netflix. We're here to make your vacation everything you'd wish for, giving you your own piece of paradise for business or pleasure.
Our love of the beach and surfing is one of the drivers for us to share this amazing experience at this property. Incorporating various techniques, processes and operations of hotels, we aim to provide a hotel experience in a homely environment.
Each apartment is decorated with furniture, appliances and features we would need in a home of our own. We aim to give our guests all the luxuries of home and hotel, to allow them to relax from the second they walk into their apartment.
We love hearing from our guests – before, during and after their visits, to ensure their stay is going as planned. We are constantly adjusting our apartments with feedback from guests, allowing us to continually improve your experience every time you stay with us.
Why they chose this property
This block of apartments was built in the late 19th century, and still exudes the charm and history of this era, whilst having been renovated, with all of the sophistication and convenience of the 21st century.
Having an enormous backyard which leads onto the sands of the surf beach is very rare in Sydney, with far less than 100 properties in all of Sydney having this feature. You will immediately feel at home in one of our renovated apartments.
The Coachhouse was one of the first buildings built on the Northern beaches that is still standing. You can imbue yourself with comfortable scenic history. So whether you're looking at a summer getaway or some winter whale watching, each self-contained apartment is fitted with full-sized kitchen, laundry services, free WIFI and Netflix. We're here to make your vacation everything you'd wish for, giving you your own piece of paradise for business or pleasure.
What makes this property unique
Walk straight from the backyard to the ocean, transport at your door, lifeguards next door, shops and restaurants down the road, various parks and lakes to boot - The Coachhouse boasts charm, character and convenience. We are uniquely positioned directly on the beach, providing our guests instant beach access from the expansive back garden. Only a handful of places in Sydney (and New South Wales) have similar access, however most don't have the additional luxury of being situated next to a Surf Lifesaver's Club.
Even if you get tired of the beach, Narrabeen Lake is right down the road (<5 mins), offering a host of things to do solo or with a family. Home to pelicans, swans and cockatoos, all peckish for a feed, it's a great way to keep the family entertained after lunch by the lake or kayaking and biking around the lake.
This property is conveniently located between Narrabeen and Collaroy. An iconic building and property, owning 30 Metres of beachfront, has its backyard continuing onto the patrolled South Narrabeen Beach, only 20 metres south of the Lifesavers Club. Each ground floor unit has its own level, private fenced yard.
