About this property

NO.1 Scotland Island Retreat|Private Waterfront

Summary:
Welcome to beautiful Scotland Island. This peaceful Island Escape is only a quick drive from Sydney but you can leave the car at home or at Church point as you will arrive to the island by boat. Whether that is via Ferry to the nearby Eastern Wharf (200m walk from the house) or by private water taxi right to your very own jetty. Yes, you heard that right!

The Space:
This true water-front property is situated on North-East of Scotland Island. It has spectacular views over Pittwater estuary from almost every corner of the property. The 3-level craftsman-built home is equipped with everything you need for a few days away from the fast-paced city life including 2 bedrooms in the main house and 1 in the private studio suite directly behind the main house (3 bedrooms in total), 2 bathrooms, living & dining area, kitchen and rooftop terrace with 180 degree views. Did I mention you have your own jetty? Please note available bedding is prepared as per the number of people on the booking.

Sleeping 6 adults and 1 infant comfortably, this waterside property comes with quality linen, towels, amenities galore and a Nespresso machine with pods for those who love a morning caffeine fix. A two storey home with a separate studio suite on the back attached by an outdoor stair case, this property has everything you want for a couples retreat or family escape. Paddle board or kayak around the island, swim directly out front of the house, explore this beautiful island or just sit on the rooftop deck and watch the numerous yachts whizz by while having a wine – it’s your choice.

Very tired and needs improvements for the $$$
We’re a bit confused about other guests 5* reviews as we were completely underwhelmed from the min we arrived at this property given the high nightly rate. Very tired overall, dated bathrooms, stained furnishings, grubby rug, no flyscreens, blockout blinds or fans/aircon in bedrooms (except studio), minimal provisions for a remote property and lawns unkept. Location and view only positive. As a holiday property host ourselves and, comparing what we offer our guests for a similar nightly rate, this property did not represent value for money, really disappointing for our long awaited annual family holiday

Light and bright lovely property right on the ocean. Practicality of wharf makes coming and going with boat brilliant fun. A real lifestyle change for those wanting a change of scene and retreat from urban life. We absolutely loved our time at this great home

Wonderful retreat on the island
This property exceeded our expectations. It was incredibly peaceful, clean and a perfect taste of island life. Reading on the living room bench while listening to the water was magical. Would definitely recommend for anyone wanting a little escape!

Amazing Location and Great Guest
We used this beautiful home for a special occasion and honestly loved every minute of our stay. Absolute water front location in the heart of Sydney and amazing hosts that helped in every way possible. Would recommend this to anyone and we will definitely be coming back in the future.
