About this house rental

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.

Great Host and Property!!!Highly recommended place to stay!!!
8 / 10Excellent·Nov 2024
the property is in a great location and we enjoyed the convenience of the jetty and access to water taxis. The bench seat cushions were grubby and need either cleaning or an upholstery makeover. In addition, the hosts provide plenty of information- the number of warning notes about infringements and extra payments were however excessive and detract from relaxation, as this was made very clear prior to being accepted as guests. Unlikely to visit this property again.

We loved our stay on Scotland island, the accommodation is easily accessible by either private water taxi or the ferry. The private jetty was a delight to sit on and watch the sunrise. We would love to stay again!
