Great Escape in a Special Location
We had a wonderful time staying at Coasters. Perched above the water the house has all the amenities needed to ensure we had a wonderful relaxing time. The layout of the house means you just want to sit on the deck and take in the spectacular view. A special house in a beautiful part of Pittwater.

Will certainly be back!
This house is a real treasure. Gary has put some serious love into making this place so special and is a MUST visit. The views are spectacular, and having the house open at night with the breeze flowing throughout was so nice. Gary is a wonderful host who made us feel welcomed and comfortable. We will definitely be back.

Amazing stay in Coasters
Stayed at the property for 3 nights in late November with 3 adults. The house is great, has everything you need. Verandah is where the relaxation happens. Great beach for swimming, fun trekking in the national park, lots of native wild life. So relaxing, secluded. Can’t wait to return. Gary the host is very helpful and welcoming.

Coasters Retreat is a patch of paradise which is perfect to disconnect and be surrounded by nature at its finest. We loved our stay, Gary's place has everything you need to feel at home and we loved all of the little touches which gave the place character and warmth.

Pittwater Paradise
When we arrived it just been used for a Bondi model shoot! It is charming, with a rustic comfortable vibe and views to die for. After a busy day out on the water, sometimes just directly across in the basin as it is sheltered and lovely to swim in, you can sit back and enjoy a spectacular view of the all the boats etc. Felt a bit like Europe. We used Gary's mooring bringing our own little boat, so did not have time to enjoy the kayaks. House was clean and all basic necessities are provided. Great stay, thank you Gary.

Hope you come back again to enjoy some more. I hope the convenience of the swing mooring made a difference to your experience.

Waking up to this view is just magic!
This is a secret treasure! Gary met us at the ferry wharf to carry our gear. The view from the house is breathtaking. It is a super relaxing spot.

A magical escape a short trip away from the city
My family and I spent 4 wonderful days at Gary’s house in Coasters Retreat over Christmas and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Gary was a conscientious and welcoming host, who met us at the ferry to help make sure we had everything we needed. The house is a delightful mix of beach shack, coastal luxury, and high technology. We arrived to the sound of Christmas songs ringing out from Spotify on a great stereo, and use the smart lighting to create the right ambience as the evenings set in. The BBQ area provided everything we needed to cook out on the balcony while gazing at the stunning view across the bay towards the Basin. A highlight for all of us was the daily paddle across the bay to the inner Basin, where our 3 year old loved splashing in the safe and shallow waters. At the end of our final day as the sun set my wife and I slipped into the water at the bottom of Gary’s property, and took a leisurely evening swim across the bay between the flotilla of boats. Our stay at Gary’s property really made Christmas special this year, and we shall definitely be planning another visit soon.
