Julian’s on Coba Point is a fantastic, spacious and comfortable home. It has a lovely east-north aspect and fantastic views over the water and hills opposite.
Set over two levels (main house above with 1 bedroom fully self contained separate accommodation below). We had the whole place for a weekend with 4 adults, 2 kids and a small doggo (with prior permission).
Each level has a large, very spacious covered deck that’s well equipped with outdoor furniture, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the stunning scenery.
The main level of the home has beautiful solid timber floors and an enormous open plan living / dining / kitchen space (effectively two living rooms, one at either end, kitchen in the middle) with views out across the decks to the water and the hills opposite.
There are three enormous sofas inside, and two outside. There is so much space to stretch out and relax.
Two king rooms to the rear are cool and nestled into the hill side. There’s a deck outside of the rear rooms as well so there’s natural light and airflow. Not too cave like at all, like some rear rooms on hillside homes can be.
The double room near the main front entrance enjoys filtered bushland/water views.
There’s a fully self-contained studio (1 bedroom apartment really!) underneath the main level and it’s spacious and light filled with a separate queen bedroom (great sunny room with lovely views) its own bathroom (incl washing machine) and a fully equipped kitchen. Also has a proper coffee machine.
This configuration is perfect for friends, a large family or multi family get away.
The home has everything you need to cook up a storm with a well equiped kitchen (decent knives! 🙏😊) and lots of cooking and serving equipment. Breville coffee machine (integrated grinder, beans supplied) is a god send. Great, large gas stove and oven. Massive fridge with ice maker.
There’s a large 8 seater dining table inside and another 8 seater table on the deck. Big 4 burner BBQ on the deck too.
Inside there are lots of books, games and and the tv (Netflix/Amazon) with sound bar is great. There’s decent wifi too. For a home that feels like you’re a million miles away, this place has it all.
We stayed over a sunny weekend in September (no mozzies! 👍) and although the evenings were chilly, the slow combustion wood burning heater easily heats the entire main house.
There’s a main bathroom with shower and loo and a separate powder room with a sink on the main level. No bath tub. No problem for us, and there’s more than enough to make up for no tub. Downstairs has its own full bathroom (shower only).
On the downstairs deck there are two daybeds! There are loads of quality cushions and throws on the sofas (inside and out). There’s another 6 seater timber setting down by the water too. Plus a couple of chairs and some logs for seating by the waterside fire pit so there are plenty of spaces to share or to get a little bit of peace and quiet too.
There are about 20-30 steps up to the main level of the house so be prepared to take a few trips to get luggage and supplies up in to the house. (House is well lit inside and out for the evenings).
There are two kayaks, fishing gear and outdoor games too. There’s a nice grassy area (no bindies - yay!) by the water where the fire pit is located.
At low tide there’s a bit of a “beach”, but take care, the oysters in the Hawkesbury are ruthless.
Swimming off the pontoon at the end of the jetty at high / change of tide is the way to go. It’s deep off the jetty and because it’s relatively narrow means the currents are strong as the tides change so keep that in mind if swimming or kayaking.
This place has everything you need for a weekend (or a week) and is so spacious, light filled and breezy. Quality furnishings, comfortable beds and pillows top it off. We loved it.
