About this property

Beachfront Bliss - right on the sand, all tide access, spectacular views

Sundowners on the deck or by our boat-house on the beach are essential - taking in spectacular views across Pittwater to Broken Bay - with the perfect north-east aspect cool in summer warm in winter...

All tide access with just a short wheelbarrow ride from the wharf - no clambering over rocks nor negotiating a winding path ...

Bliss is one of the very few holiday rentals at Mackerel with solar-power. Combine this with our rainwater tanks for the house's water supply and you have a very eco-friendly holiday.

"Bliss" was the original name given to the house when Mr & Mrs Anderson built it in 1961 on one of the best blocks at Mackerel Beach right on your (almost) private beach and with one of only 2 boat-sheds at Mackerel. Sit anywhere in the wonderful garden or hide away on the private deck off the almost self contained Parent's retreat.

The boat-shed is very multipurpose has its own home gym, water craft, kayaks, stand up paddle boards and that all important fridge for a beach picnic and/or cocktails. The boat-shed also has the best work space with a screen and spectacular views of Pittwater while you work! Take a quick dip between Zoom meetings!

About the host

Hosted by Mark & Geoff

Host profile image
Geoff and I have had a house at Great Mackerel Beach for the last 20 years and we have always used it as our sanctuary. In 2017 our current house came up for sale and we could not resist - it was built in 1961 by Mr & Mrs Anderson and we bought it off the family and have been restoring it ever since!

We love to travel and we are looking forward to sharing our little bit of paradise with people.

Why they chose this property

The Anderson's called this house "Bliss" and when you come here you can see why - right on a very quiet beach and with the perfect aspect. Everyone tells us its like beach houses when they were growing up!

What makes this property unique

The position right on the beach is the stand-out for this house and the spectacular views over Pittwater back to Palm Beach. Mackerel Beach is water access only and so there are no cars - the kids can go wild in the local community and in Kuringgai National Park.
