About this property

The Sea Shanty - on Pittwater - Fishermans Cottage with Jetty and Private Beach

  • Cute and cosy retro fisherman’s cottage on Scotland Island in beautiful Pittwater. Secluded waterfront retreat with private jetty and beach. Relax, unwind, and enjoy!

    The open plan interior features an eclectic mix of nautical antiques, shells and fishing collectables gathered from travels and forages along the beach and original creations by your host Sophie, a classically trained artist.

    Ideally suited to a couple, the cottage can expand to accommodate up to six and welcomes children and families or friend groups.

    The kitchen is fully equipped with all the necessaries for basic or gourmet cooking.

    We love animals and your furry friends are welcome to join you on your holiday.

    Kayaks, paddle boards and fishing gear are provided and many other extras can be arranged locally including catering, local tours and boat trips, massages, fishing charters, whale watching etc.

    Visit Ku-ring-gai national park with its beautiful nature and wildlife, bush walks and indigenous heritage sites, or let the wildlife come to you - lorikeets, cockatoos, king parrots, currawongs and kookaburras are frequent visitors to the deck.

    Rest, relax and reset in a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of the mainland. Escape to paradise!
