About this property
Tranquil waterfront cottage
Captain's Cabin occupies an idyllic waterfront location with uninterrupted views across Pittwater to Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Enjoy the serenity of bushland Island walks and the privacy of your own jetty and beach.
Captain's Cabin is an original fisherman's shack that has been tastefully updated with airconditioning for the warmer months and outdoor heating for the cooler months.
At high tide water laps at the edge of the large covered balcony. Sit back and relax while yachts and cruisers pass you by or head out on the water on one of our kayaks for a relaxing paddle.
Inside you will find one cosy bedroom with windows that open directly to the water. There is a comfortable lounge/dining area and a simple but well equipped kitchen. The bathroom is updated but note it is separate (but very close) to the main cottage. There is also a private bbq area at the rear of the property.
Captain's Cabin is ideal for couples. It is not suitable for children.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Andrew

Captain Joan and her husband Jim called Captain's Cabin their weekend home for almost 50 years from the early 1970's, fishing and boating Pittwater and beyond. In recent times the couple's two sons Andrew & Dale continue the adventures with their families.
Why they chose this property
Protected from the strong North Easterlies in summer with deep water access, the property is ideally situated. The westerly aspect makes the most of the beautiful sunsets that make the end of the day.
