Amazing location and views. We enjoyed our relaxing stay. Dianne was a very welcoming host. Loved the small gestures to make our stay comfortable. We brought our two small dogs and the private lawn area was perfect for them to run around.

Perfect in every way!

My parents and I had the most wonderful midweek retreat at this beautiful property. It was perfect in every way - peaceful, tranquil, calm and beautifully positioned right by the water. Very well presented to a high level of cleanliness - we will definitely be back!

Dianne communicated very thorough directions and gave wonderful suggestions of things to do during our stay . The house was immaculate and was the perfect setting after a week of nonstop activities in Melbourne and Sydney . We spent so much of the time relaxing on the deck, looking out onto the bay . It was very peaceful. One of our favorite activities was taking the water taxi to a Barrenjoey House in Palm Beach.We were picked up at the end of their pier —very convenient and fun!The cottage was well equipped and plenty of room for the 3 of us . It is a lovely home and we would stay there again. Thank you for making our last few days in Australia so memorable .

We swam, fished, paddled and sunbaked for two days at Diane and David’s cottage. We could hear the water lapping outside our bedroom and could see rays and fish from the jetty. We relaxed as a family and ate dinner and breakfast on the deck. There was sun and shade and the cottage has everything you need , including little extras ( beautiful flowers, chocolate treats). We even took a water taxi to dinner at palm beach. We walked to local coffees shops and did the short drive and walk to the lighthouse. Disney and David we lovely hosts, easy going, approachable but also respected our privacy, so the waterfront space was all to ourselves. We’d love to go back.

What a beautiful oasis. We didn’t want to leave! I was inclined to not post a review so we could keep it a secret . From the moment we stepped into this beautiful boathouse we were mesmerised. You feel you have been transported to another world.It’s a perfect spot to find some quiet, calm relaxation. Watch the eagles, pelicans and cormorants fishing, schools of fish gliding past and boats bobbing around.Di and David have thought of everything and if you bring enough food for your whole stay, you simply don’t need to leave!- The kitchen is perfectly appointed. (Some tasty extras are provided.)- The BarBQ is on mains gas, so no fussing with bottles is needed.- The bed was very comfortable.- The deck is large with an electronic awning that means you can be outside in any weather.- The inclinator makes light work of the descent so only one or two steps are to be navigated.- The deep water jetty means you can catch a water taxi at any tide. Many thanks for a beautiful weekend away from the hustle of the city Di. We loved our stay and look forward to returning.

Very comfortable and well located property right on the water, as close as you can be without being on a boat. The house gets lots of light with views East across Careel Bay.There is jetty out the front and garden area which our dog appreciated.

Our little getaway

We had a great time staying at this property. I love the privacy and our private lift!! The view was amazing as in the photos and so quiet and calming, not to mention the friendliest neighbourhood doggo. Love the fireplace in the middle of winter and painting on the wharf at sunset. Wish I could stay longer. Great host and guide with best communication!! Thank you- Hsu xx

The boathouse on the water front

The boathouse is everything described and more! A picture perfect setting, hidden away with your own private jetty. Only minutes away to the shops & beach & a few more minutes to Palm beach & Whale beach with plenty of beautiful restaurants to choose from all around. We truly enjoyed our stay here tucked away in a hidden oasis. From the booking to the end of our stay, Dianne & her husband were outstanding hosts & I thank you so much. We look forward to staying again in the near future! Pauline & Eddie
