Chinook Boatshed

Cosy boat shed on waterfront, facing west to Ku-Ring-Gai Chase National Park. Loft double bed, heater, electric blanket, fridge, toaster/griller, 7-way cooker, electric jug, wall fan, microwave and sink. Outside cold shower, bathroom in house. Kayaks, wood BBQ, pizza oven, portable gas bbq. Easy access to Pittwater and the National Park for walking, swimming, snorkelling, fishing, kayaking. Unique location on the waterfront. Water lapping just outside the door and no adjoining buildings. Perfect for people who have their own boat as you can tie up on our jetty. You can also kayak to our beach from anywhere in Pittwater. Water taxi ($24) will drop you to our jetty or catch the ferry to Bells Wharf ($8.20) and walk around the waterfront for a few minutes. The boatshed will be unlocked, with the key on the inside of the door. The downstairs bathroom inside the house is available for exclusive use. Walk up the steps or use the inclinator, enter by the front door and second room on left. A torch is provided but I will also leave some lights on - outside and in the bathroom. I like to leave people to enjoy themselves but am happy to answer any questions and have a chat. Beautiful, peaceful location for people who love being on the water.
