Coasters, waterfront nature retreat
About this house rental
A winter and summer haven each season maximised by the location of this house, ideally situated in Sydney's most spectacular natural environment. It's remoteness belies the easy drive and ferry ride from the big smoke. The view from the main bed is second to none accompanied by the lapping sounds of water that travel up to the house at night and bathe you with sleep tonic. A massive deck runs the entire length of the house and is far and away the place one finds oneself gravitating to. The deck has a cooking station with a BBQ, gas hotplate, Habachi grill, Gozney Pizza oven and an induction hot plate. It's a cooks paradise kitchen. There is the option of doing some fire cooking at the spectacular fire pit. Even in the worst weather your weekend away will be enjoyed because at the Retreat rather than feeling cooped up its just another nature show. The easy and very pleasant ferry ride from Palm beach is followed by a short walk through stunning bushland, where you may very well spot your first Wallaby or perhaps Black Cockatoo, and up the windy path which situates you in the accessible yet very remote feeling beach/bush house. For Sydneysiders this coastal retreat is right on your doorstep yet feels like a million miles from home. For travellers it is a unique opportunity to explore the treasures of The Pittwater. Enjoy time out from the hustle and bustle of life and unwind in this secluded, comfortable and stylish retreat. Stunning bushwalks in a National Park with opportunities to visit some Aboriginal Rock Art and beautiful isolated beaches, numerous non-powered watersport options (2Kayaks and a SUP are included for guests), fishing, swimming at the jewel of the area, (The Basin), wildlife spotting and so it goes.

We had a wonderful time staying at Coasters. Perched above the water the house has all the amenities needed to ensure we had a wonderful relaxing time. The layout of the house means you just want to sit on the deck and take in the spectacular view. A special house in a beautiful part of Pittwater.

This house is a real treasure. Gary has put some serious love into making this place so special and is a MUST visit. The views are spectacular, and having the house open at night with the breeze flowing throughout was so nice. Gary is a wonderful host who made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Amazing stay in Coasters
Stayed at the property for 3 nights in late November with 3 adults. The house is great, has everything you need. Verandah is where the relaxation happens. Great beach for swimming, fun trekking in the national park, lots of native wild life. So relaxing, secluded. Can’t wait to return. Gary the host is very helpful and welcoming.

Pittwater Paradise
When we arrived it just been used for a Bondi model shoot! It is charming, with a rustic comfortable vibe and views to die for. After a busy day out on the water, sometimes just directly across in the basin as it is sheltered and lovely to swim in, you can sit back and enjoy a spectacular view of the all the boats etc. Felt a bit like Europe. We used Gary's mooring bringing our own little boat, so did not have time to enjoy the kayaks. House was clean and all basic necessities are provided. Great stay, thank you Gary.

Waking up to this view is just magic!
This is a secret treasure! Gary met us at the ferry wharf to carry our gear. The view from the house is breathtaking. It is a super relaxing spot.

A magical escape a short trip away from the city
My family and I spent 4 wonderful days at Gary’s house in Coasters Retreat over Christmas and it couldn’t have been more perfect.
Gary was a conscientious and welcoming host, who met us at the ferry to help make sure we had everything we needed.
The house is a delightful mix of beach shack, coastal luxury, and high technology. We arrived to the sound of Christmas songs ringing out from Spotify on a great stereo, and use the smart lighting to create the right ambience as the evenings set in.
The BBQ area provided everything we needed to cook out on the balcony while gazing at the stunning view across the bay towards the Basin.
A highlight for all of us was the daily paddle across the bay to the inner Basin, where our 3 year old loved splashing in the safe and shallow waters. At the end of our final day as the sun set my wife and I slipped into the water at the bottom of Gary’s property, and took a leisurely evening swim across the bay between the flotilla of boats.
Our stay at Gary’s property really made Christmas special this year, and we shall definitely be planning another visit soon.
