Located on the lower level of the main house, this 1 bedroom unit has its own private entrance via a side pathway. The path is quite steep, so it is best suited for physically fit guests. There is a ramp to help with luggage, but due to the incline, it is not ideal for anyone with mobility challenges.

This place is perfect for couples who respect the main house residents. It is quiet, private, and nestled in the safe, leafy neighborhood of Forestville. A coffee shop and a local pizza spot are just a short walk away, making it easy to grab a morning latte or enjoy a casual dinner where locals often catch up every day.

Property Highlights

Scenic Balcony & Pool Access: Relax on your private balcony with an outdoor table for two, overlooking the sparkling pool and sweeping national park views.

Private Entrance: Located on the bottom level of the main house, the apartment has its own entrance via a side pathway.

Free street parking is available, along with access to a shared EV charger. If you`d like to use the charger, kindly contact us in advance, and we’ll coordinate with the owners.

Spacious Bedroom: A bright bedroom with a queen-size bed, premium linen, built-in wardrobes, ceiling fans and electric wall heaters. Sliding doors with block-out shutters open to the balcony for a serene start to your day.

Modern, Compact Kitchen: Includes a fridge, freezer, microwave with grill, a Nespresso machine, toaster, electric kettle and cooking essentials like cooking oil.

Peace & Privacy: It is quiet and private, though we ask guests to be respectful of the main house residents.

We are available to answer any questions via the app or over the phone during your stay. If there is something that requires attention during your stay, we will be able to attend within approximately 30 minutes.

Despite its leafy setting, Forestville is just a short drive to some of Sydney’s most famous beaches, including Dee Why, Curl Curl, and Manly, all within 15–20 minutes. For city adventures, Sydney’s CBD is about a 25-minute drive in good traffic, making it easy to enjoy the best of both worlds: coastal relaxation and vibrant city life.

Locally, you’ll find charming coffee shops, bakeries, and casual dining spots, giving Forestville a warm, community feel.
