REVIEWS
’10/10. Beautiful little slice of heaven just a stone’s throw away from Sydney.’
‘It amazes me how little people know about this remote paradise and I am already so excited to plan our next trip and visit again. I would highly recommend you go on a Sunday so you can kayak to the mainland (15 minutes) and take in the sunset/live music. I still can't believe we were only 45 minutes away from Sydney CBD.’
‘A thousand miles from care.’
‘Lovely spot to relax and soak up the beautiful Pittwater vibes!’
‘The best view you can wish for.’
‘Sooo relaxing. We had a wonderful couple of days at this property. It's a simple, but well equiped and relaxing home with the most gorgeous views. We enjoyed a great mix of doing "nothing" (dinner and family on the deck) and being active on the water, taking advantage of the free kayaks and paddleboards. 2 nights definitely felt longer and I can't say when I last felt this relaxed! We can't wait to return’.
‘Really enjoyed our stay here. Came with my wife and two boys (7 and 12), and had a great time. Probably the best part was the access to the shore with the jetty - boys tracking the various wildlife (small stingrays, jellyfish, squids, fish) and generally relaxing with nature. Great part is the isolation as well. Could highly recommend!
‘Simply, Bliss! A great little find so close to Sydney!’
‘A hidden gem which feels like you are a millions miles away!
I cannot recommend this property enough and can honestly say, this was truly like paradise. It was just a short 5-10 minute boat ride to the island and it felt like we were in a completely different country. We had a beautiful cabin to stay in, complete with a wood burner, ample cooking utensils, BBQ and outdoor furniture! It even came fully equipped for lots of water sports.... Kayaks, paddle boards and a boat!
Sophie has a lot of passion for the island and she couldn't have been a better host, tour guide and friend.
‘What an amazing view!" is all you can think about when you’re here. The peace, the serenity, the ability to unwind and switch off from the world makes this place truly beautiful.’
‘Absolute Paradise. We stayed at Sophie’s place with our family of four, and had an absolutely amazing time at the property, there were lots of kayaks and paddles boards to use. There was a huge deck which was fantastic to sit out and eat dinner and watch life on the Pitt Water. The property itself was the perfect size for our family.. will absolutely be returning.’
‘What a beautiful, relaxing and tranquil place to stay. The view is absolutely breathtaking and one that’s hard to leave.’
‘Just the most perfect getaway!! Cannot recommend Sophie’s place enough. We had a glorious stay spent chilling, walking, kayaking, fishing: 10000000/10 would recommend. Thank you!!!!!
