Can't say enough good things about this place. It's in one of the most beautiful spots in Sydney, with a gorgeous, sheltered North-east aspect looking over Barrenjoey Island. The house makes the most of the space - with beautiful and ample outdoor spaces to enjoy the view, and a gorgeously landscaped garden. It's even nicer than the photos if that's possible.
The house is full of character and very stylishly appointed, yet relaxed and beachy enough so you feel at ease - and OK with kids!
The treehouse bedroom is spectacular and we loved how it was decorated :-)
Richard and Claudia have thought of everything - there's filtered tap water, coffee pods, and even a rice cooker which we used.
We absolutely loved the fire pit - we were staying in July and were surprised at how much heat it gave as we sat around it watching the moon rise and the stars come out.
Mackeral Beach itself is stunning - so nice to have peace from cars, and go for a bush walk on Sunday to Resolute Beach. The ferry was an easy way to travel, as was the water taxi.
A wallaby came to visit us on the first night which was lovely.
Richard was so nice and helpful to deal with via email and texts.
Basically, we all want to move here! Falling short of that, we'll definitely be back for a holiday.
