Really excellent place to just chill and relax. Everything was so clean and very well appointed…..host Belinda was so accommodating when my daughter left some belongings and was so kind and prompt in getting them returned to her. Thanks again Belinda.
Stayed a wonderful 4 days - the property is beautifully presented, immaculate and well laid out. We found everything we needed and the beds bedding and furnishings were fantastic. The view and peacefulness was second to none - The perfect long weekend.
Deckhouse is a really special spot and one we would love to visit again in the future. It's as close to the water as you can get and a really romantic place to spend a weekend for couples
Unique and serene waterfront location in the middle of Ku-rin-gai National Park, wonderful 2 story accommodation with a great vibe. One of the more special places where we have ever stayed.

Thank you Belinda!
Had a wonderful 2 nights stay with my sister. We loved sitting out on the balcony for sunsets looking across the water to the untouched national park. The kayaks were a highlight and so easy with the jetty. We also went for a fantastic bush walk to Lovetts pool for a dip. The house was extremely clean and so well equipped. Will definitely visit again!
Celebrated my 40th staying 4 nights. The Deckhouse is an absolutely beautiful spot to relax. Highly recommend doing brunch at the Kiosk, hiring a tinny and booking in for a long lunch at the Inn too. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Belinda & Paul.
This is a beautiful property set in the most idyllic location. Belinda made the check-in process very simple and all instructions very clear. The house was lovely and clean and so well equiped. The view was very special and its location so close to Cottage Point Inn and the Kiosk was an added bonus. We would love to visit again.

The deckhouse was amazing and an excellent retreat for me. The view is spectacular with fishing, canoe and boat options available. It was a very clean and has all the amenities required. The hosts were very supportive and helpful.
See you again !
Fantastic hosts who could not be more helpful.
Situated on the waters edge we both absolutely switched off , great way to finish our holidays.
We called the top level our home and the lower level our holiday house.
Different and welcome experience moving between each level .
Highly recommend.
