the nest at killcare
the nest at killcare will delight! Enjoy the spaces for quiet contemplation surrounded by nature or enjoy dining with friends and family coming together after time apart. In winter snuggle with a book by the fireplace or watch the winter migration of the whales, in summer open the doors and let the summer breeze in. This home is also pet friendly (see pet policy below).
This architecturally designed beach house captures the stunning ocean views from Killcare to Putty Beach over three levels and offers the ultimate in contemporary, beach-side living. The top floor has the convenience of a powder room, the fully equipped recently refurbished kitchen with gas cooking and two fridges, a reading lounge with work station and of course the spectacular dining area with seating for 12. Both lounge areas open up to outdoor entertaining areas that capture both the beach and bush vistas. The BBQ and outdoor setting is perfect for balmy summer evenings.
The middle level has four double bedrooms all with ducted AC all with quality linen, built-in robes and ceiling fans. The master has an ensuite and deck access. The main bathroom with shower and bath is also on this level along with the laundry with washer and dryer. An external hot shower makes post-beach swims a treat.
The ground floor is ideal for a teenage recluse with a fifth bedroom with two single beds and its own garden access. There is a split system air conditioning down here along with a recently completed third bathroom and access to the garage.
The garden will delight with meandering paths and a kids cubby house set among the back drop of Bouddi National Park. The patrolled area of Killcare beach and the naturally formed rock pool is just down the hill, along with hot chips and milkshakes from the beach kiosk.

Killcare is the secret gem of the Central Coast. Surrounded by Bouddi National Park there are numerous bushwalks to seven secluded beaches. Killcare Beach is patrolled over the summer months with a kiosk and restaurant at the Surf Club. The southern end has the added bonus of a natural rock pool ideal for the little ones. Putty Beach at the northern end of the beach is ideal for snorkelling, fishing or swimming as it is protected from the swell.
The village precinct of Hardys Bay has everything you need from a general store and bottle shop, art gallery and boutique shopping to cafes with freshly baked breads and pastries. There are some great restaurants for an evening out. Further around towards Wagstaffe you can catch a ferry to Palm Beach or hire out the tennis courts.

We came for a family escape mid winter.
The house is really lovely, spacious and very thoughtfully set up.
The log fire was perfect for the cold evenings as we watched the light fade on the beach.
Would be great to visit in the summer next time!
Highly recommended.
A wonderful house opposite the beach. It was perfect for our group, comfortable, well maintained and very straightforward to book.
Would definitely recommend.
Beautifully presented property with amazing views.
This was our second time staying at "the Nest" and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The fireplace and the view over the ocean was perfect for re-charging the batteries.
Great house. Good for four couples. Well equipped. Had problem with coffee maker even though we had directions. Not enough hand towels for eight people. Beautiful landscaping. Great view of beach from living room.
Everything was perfect and we felt at home straight away at this outstanding and well-equipped property. We hope to stay again some time soon.

Wow. What a fabulous place to stay!
I stayed with a group of 4 couples over a beautiful sunny May weekend. The house was perfect, with plenty of space to spread out - on the lovely deck in the afternoon, and by the fire in the evening after cooking up a feast in the well-supplied kitchen.
It was a short walk to the beach. We plan to return!

Beautiful house and location
We stayed at the Nest for my husband’s 60th birthday and it was perfect for a small group. The view is stunning and the house has everything you need. It is beautifully presented and Anna was super accommodating and helpful. We will be back.

Stunning property with the lot
This is an exceptional property located above Killcare Beach. Well appointed, tidy, clean and exceptionally comfortable made this the perfect place to chillax. Anna the host bent over backwards in ensuring we had all of our needs met and questions answered.
