This beautiful Artists retreat is surrounded by nature. You will arrive by boat and soak up the serenity. Large deck with river views. Located on the waterfront on the desirable Eastern side of Bar Point. Our custom designed Finnish sauna offers a unique and holistic experience, the combination of heat, dimmed lights and the smell of cedar or essential oils creates a healing ambience that is both invigorating and comforting. The house is full of Art, books, games, and DVDs, there is also the 'yoga deck' behind the house with even more expansive views of the river - a perfect place to do some morning meditation or enjoy a bowl of pasta as the sun goes down, highlighting the orange of the sandstone cliffs across the river. Surrounded by National Parks and completely free of cars and traffic, this is a beautiful little retreat, perfect for a family or a group of friends to meet up and re centre. At Bar Point there are no shops or cafes so you must bring everything you need with you, basic pantry staples such as salt, pepper, cooking oil etc are provided. Kayaks, fishing poles and crab pots provided. Our own private residence is a separate apartment upstairs, there are no shared walls or internal stairs and you will have your own private entrance, however as it is a large, old wooden house you may at times here us moving about upstairs, naturally we try to be as quiet as possible when we have guests visiting. We will leave you entirely to yourselves but if you do need any help or information or even a little guided walking tour of the locality we are very happy to accommodate you. Our sauna deck is a shared area which guests are welcome to use, heating the sauna takes an hour or two, so just let us know and we will get it all ready for you with fresh towels, scented oils and branches of freshly cut lavender or wormwood to create a beautiful ambience. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/430000/426200/426104/144baa87.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### YEHS Hotel Sydney Harbour Suites Sydney Central Business District - Pool - Hot tub - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 8.2 Very good 2,628 reviews £76 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=426104&PinnedHotelID=426104&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Flat-screen TV, streaming services](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19300000/19290900/19290807/ac0e3248.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Meriton Suites Bondi Junction Bondi Junction - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 8.6 Excellent 1,521 reviews £128 includes taxes & fees 27 Apr - 28 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-27&endDate=2026-04-28&selected=19290807&PinnedHotelID=19290807&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Harbourview King Suite | View from room](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/1000000/480000/470900/470820/c63ef6c6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### View Sydney North Sydney - Pet-friendly - Free Wi-Fi - Restaurant - Air-conditioning 9.2 Wonderful 1,415 reviews £118 includes taxes & fees 19 Apr - 20 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-19&endDate=2026-04-20&selected=470820&PinnedHotelID=470820&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 Bedroom Balcony Harbour View Suite | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/16000000/15880000/15876800/15876729/323141cf.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Meriton Suites North Sydney North Sydney - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.2 Wonderful 1,349 reviews £115 includes taxes & fees 5 Apr - 6 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-05&endDate=2026-04-06&selected=15876729&PinnedHotelID=15876729&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![2 Bedroom Suite | Living area | 55-inch flat-screen TV with digital channels, TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19300000/19290900/19290828/98b99af7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Meriton Suites Zetland Zetland - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washing machine 9.0 Wonderful 1,329 reviews £91 includes taxes & fees 27 Apr - 28 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-27&endDate=2026-04-28&selected=19290828&PinnedHotelID=19290828&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Reception](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106800000/106799300/106799209/301ec11b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Encore by Mingara Tumbi Umbi - Pool - Kids’ pool - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi 9.8 Exceptional 139 reviews £82 includes taxes & fees 14 Apr - 15 Apr [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-14&endDate=2026-04-15&selected=106799209&PinnedHotelID=106799209&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/5000000/4460000/4451700/4451632/8a4a8e32.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Holiday Inn & Suites Sydney Bondi Junction by IHG Bondi Junction - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning - Breakfast available - Parking available 8.4 Very good 233 reviews £94 includes taxes & fees 29 Mar - 30 Mar [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-29&endDate=2026-03-30&selected=4451632&PinnedHotelID=4451632&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Breakfast, lunch, dinner served;
