Great Mackerel Beach Cabin (Palm Beach and Pittwater Views)
Award Winner of 'Eco-Cabin of the Year for NSW' and one of 'The Most Secluded Waterfront Getaways on the Northern Beaches' [*Concrete Playground], Cape Mackerel Cabin is perched on the cliff of Mackerel Beach with expansive views sweeping from Palm Beach to the Central Coast. The Cabin is nestled in a tranquil bushland setting where Ku-ring-Gai National Park meets Pittwater. The sun-drenched house is a short boat trip from Palm Beach - this is a treehouse that both adults and kids can relish.
The space
+ Stairs from the shores of Mackerel Beach up to the residence
+ Chic open plan kitchen, living and dining for seamless entertaining
+ Expansive glass-fronted decks on both levels with dazzling views as far as the eye can see and an exquisite view from the outdoor shower with Leif botanical products
+ Limewashed timber floors throughout, glass louvres
+ Fabulous wood burning fireplace for cosy winter nights (as well as AirCon / Ducted Heating)
+ Both bedrooms with InBed Store Linen/or Eco Organic Cotton with own wrap-around balconies, neat tidy bathroom with Leif Bathroom Products (+ Outdoor Shower)
+ The gentle waves of Mackerel sound of the shores lapping in
+ Every room designed to take advantage of the mesmerising views
+ Le Creuset cooking equipment, Japanese Global Knives, Plumm and Villeroy & Boch glassware and Wine Fridge for Foodie Escapes
+Sonos Wifi Speakers
+Tandem Kayak and inflatable Stand-Up Paddle Board available with life vests
We can also arrange a 'Sherpa' / carrier service in case you want to pre-order food supplies / drinks to be brought up prior to your arrival for a small fee. Most guests don't use this service, but we are happy to help when / if the need arises (it does take some pre-planning re: online deliveries and from a co-ordination perspective).

Great weekend with friends
The weekend was spectacular. The views and bush walks were beautiful & it was the perfect vantage point to also watch the fronts and rain roll in. We will be back - likely for romantic getaways with our partners. Thanks to Anders & Nicole

Perfect place to get away and unwind with a spectacular view and enjoy the seclusion and tranquility. Great trails for some walking and the house has everything needed to just stay in and enjoy the fireplace and look out at the boats and the water.

Hooked on the great mackerel
Our favourite things about the stay were... the adventure it took to arrive at the destination, the tranquility, the view and elevation, feeling part of the beautiful rock face/cave, the great swimming spots and the gentle sounds of water lapping on the rocks at night, Heaven !

Amazing spot for a summer stay!
We stayed at this amazing property for four nights in January. We swam, bushwalked and just relaxed on the balcony. We called the view from the deck ‘Pittwater TV’ because you can sit there with a wine and watch the world float past. Anders was so helpful and the advice about how to find the place was very clear. Consider how you will minimise waste on this holiday - leave excess packaging at home. Thank you! We loved our stay.

Beautiful weekend get away, out of Sydney yet so close
Unique weekend getaway experience. The beach is pristine. The views on the deck and gorgeous. Only issue was the mozzies at night. Bring tonnes of aerogard. The host supplied lots and also had nets over the beds which was helpful. They had a well supplied kitchen so since there are no shops this was handy. The walks around the area are so beautiful. Just great for a family get away. Walk and Stairs to the house are fine. Just being what you need, no more.
