Description

.
Welcome to Scotland Island Lodge Bed & Breakfast
set on an island in the heart of Pittwater
and surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of
Ku-ring-gai National Park
Colin and Rosemary invite you to experience their truly traditional award winning B & B
Colin and Rosemary were born in the UK but their working life took them to some exotic and interesting places like Jamaica, Barbados, and Cyprus, and then finally to Sydney Australia.
In 1997 after a successful career in the retail industry around the world, they decided to move to Borwick Lodge Hawkshead in the English Lake District, a 16th century country residence, which they developed into a very successful bed and breakfast. They won many awards from the English Tourist Board for their outstanding food, service, and hospitality.

In 2002 they decided to return to Sydney to be near their family again and moved to Scotland Island on Pittwater.

Scotland Island Lodge opened later that year and has since become recognised for its great food, service, hospitality, and wonderful natural environment.

Experience wonderful fresh home made cooked breakfasts and romantic gourmet candlelit dinners.
Unique exclusive Bed & Breakfast on beautiful Scotland Island Ideal for couples and small groups.
SMH Weekends Away article on Scotland Island Lodge in February 2007 by Steve Meacham
"CHARMING HOSTS. GREAT FOOD. GOOD VALUE FOR MONEY. SENSE OF BEING IN A SPECIAL PLACE.'

SMH TRAVE SECTION JANUARY 2004 by Kate Cox
'Too often, the breakfast part of B&B's falls by the wayside, but Rosemary is passionate about cooking and her big English breakfasts are out of this world.'
'The Beds. Perfect for a deep sleep before being woken by the birds.'

Activities

There are many bush walks around the island and in the National Park. Spend the day exploring the wonderful flora and fauna in the area. Take the Elvina Bay walk to your own private rock pool where you can watch the spectacular birdlife whilst enjoying the peace and tranquillity of the area. Gaze over the Pittwater and over to the ocean beaches or walk the track from Lovett Bay to Salvation Creek. You can also explore the ancient Aboriginal site nearby and see their carvings in the rock. This is just one of many great walks in the area and we can advise you on walks to suit your needs.

Why not take out our two man kayak and explore the island from the water. If the weather is suitable paddle across to the National Park to picnic and maybe have a swim. It is like being on your own tropical island.

  • "My brother and I had 2 nites on Scotland Island ,our hosts Rosemary and Colin,were fantastic,the accomodation was superb,I have never slept better,and the food was to die for ,infact I begged Rosemary for some of her recipes,and as for Pittwater itself I would love to go back as 2 days was not anywhere near long enough to discover and explore all the beautiful coves and walks and idelic boating trips that were on offer."

  • "For a relaxing weekend away you can't beat Scotland Island! Kayaking, Swimming and lovely walks. Plus the residents of the Island are very friendly. Rosemary and Colin's lodge is very comfortable and the garden room spa was an excellent way to wind down after consuming, what can only be described as, a gourmet menu from our hosts. We've already recommended it to a number of friends. Thanks Colin & Rosemary! Gordon & Karen"

  • "We have just returned from a delightful two days spent at Scotland Island L odge.When we booked to stay there we had no idea that we were about to spend two absolutely wonderful days being pampered by two very professional people, Colin and Rosemary, who treated us to romantic meals, the food was excellent , well done Rosemary and thank you Colin for all that wonderful music. Our accommodations was so comfortable with a kingsize bed and lovely facilites. Add to that the wonderful experience of living on an island in such wonderful surroundings as Pittwater with so much happening on the water and you will understand how reluctant we were to leave and head for home. Thanks you Rosemary and Colin we so enjoyed our stay it was a real pleasure to have shared these last two days with you. You are wonderful hosts and we really enjoyed your company and the chats around the dinner table. To anyone reading this feedback and are looking for a most enjoyable break dont hesitate just go to this excellent B&B and you will not be disappointed."

  • "Quite simply - one of the loveliest B&B's we've ever stayed in. All the little touches are there to make you feel at home - or better still, at a generous and spoiling friend's home! We enjoyed the most wonderful and romantic weekend - from a candlelit dinner on the terrace (which was delicious) to kayaking up salvation creek (which was beautiful). Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer - we can't recommend Rosemary and Colin's place more. We'll be back. Matt&Antonia"

  • "I have still the smell of oranges in my nose! The day I left Scotland Island Lodge Rosemary cooked marmelade from their own oranges in a big vessel. The aroma flew all over the house. Wonderful! Stimulating! Comfortable! That?s how it is in Rosemarys and Colins house! I felt as if I were at home, but ? whithout doing anything! Just relaxing! Sitting - for example -in a whirlpool, the sun was laughing at me ? at wintertime! Rosemary loves to cook ? I loved her selfmade bread and muesli and the delicious dinner! You always feel their big welcome is in their hearts! Every question or problem came to an happy end, both of them searched so long till the best solution was found. My son and me have the experience! I stayed four days at Scotland Island Lodge ? I hope, many days will follow! Rosemary and Colin, thank you very much!!!! Angela Szogs-H?hn, Berlin"

  • "Rosemary and Colin have created a wonderful sanctaury at Scotland Island, that you really should experience. I recently owned and operated a B & B for 10 years and know how much work they put in to make this such a wonderful retreat. The only impediment to our stay was ourselves, or really my two children of 4 and 7 who were with me. They jumped into the spa fully clothed and sandy from the beach...my apologies again and I hope your Spa returns to its former pristine glory Colin. I would give this Stayz an 11 out of 10 rating. Jeff Gordon"

  • "Rosemary & Colin are the perfect hosts. If it is privacy and seclusion you are after, then you will find it at Scotland Island Lodge, but if you like to have a friendly chat, Rosemary & Colin will be happy to take time off their busy schedules and spend time to chat with you. They are extremely interesting, having lived in various parts of the world and they have travelled extensively as well as having run an award winning B & B in the beautiful Lake District in England. Rosemary's food is delicious and you will be sure of a warm welcome. Scotland Island is one of Sydney's well kept secrets with it rustic charm and a lifestyle of days gone by, with residents who still pass you by with a friendly greeting. We have enjoyed our visits so much that we have stayed with Rosemary & Colin on four occasions with, we hope, many more to come."
