Welcome to The Tree House, Cottage Point. Escape to this enchanting waterfront retreat complete with five light-filled, stylish bedrooms, sweeping water views, a sun-drenched pool and generous living spaces set the scene for effortless relaxation.

Escape back to nature, only 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD and moments from all the Northern Beaches has to offer. The Tree House is the perfect holiday home.

Just 45 minutes from the Sydney CBD and a short drive from the heart of the Northern Beaches, this waterfront home feels like the kind of place you stumble upon once and never forget. The moment you step inside, the house opens up to views of the water, with light pouring through the windows and a calm, easy atmosphere settling over everything. The living, dining and kitchen areas connect in a way that makes group stays feel effortless, whether you’re preparing dinner together, sharing long breakfasts, or simply wandering between rooms with the doors open to the breeze.

Outside, the deck is the heart of the property. It’s where mornings start slowly with coffee overlooking the water, and evenings drift into relaxed dinners cooked on the barbecue. The pool just below, catching the sun throughout the day and offering a quiet spot to cool off or unwind with a book. It’s a space made for entertaining.

The house sleeps up to ten across five comfortable bedrooms, giving everyone room to spread out while still feeling close. With fast Starlink internet and a dedicated workspace, it’s also set up for anyone who needs to balance downtime with a bit of work.

There’s a sense of privacy and calm here, yet the Northern Beaches and the best of Sydney remain within easy reach. It’s a home that invites you to slow down, enjoy the water in front of you, and settle into a gentler rhythm for as long as you stay.

Cottage Point is one of those rare pockets of Sydney that feels almost hidden from the rest of the world. Tucked deep within Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, it’s a tiny waterfront community where the bush runs right down to the water and days seem to slow themselves. With only a small number of homes scattered along the shoreline, the area is quiet, peaceful and surrounded by natural beauty in every direction.

Cowan Creek and the smaller inlets that feed into it shape much of life here. The water is calm and glassy in the mornings, ideal for kayaking, gentle boating or simply drifting along to explore the bays and bush-covered headlands. Boat and kayak hire is available right next door, which makes it easy to spend long days out on the water without planning too far ahead. Fishing, swimming and picnicking by the water are part of the rhythm of life here.

For those who prefer to stay on land, the national park offers walking tracks, lookouts and plenty of opportunities to spot native birdlife and animals. Even a short wander through the area feels restorative, with the scent of eucalypt and the sound of the creek never far away.

Despite its seclusion, Cottage Point has a couple of places to eat that feel perfectly in tune with the setting. The local kiosk is relaxed and right by the water, the kind of spot to stop for breakfast or lunch after a morning on the creek. A more refined dining option sits just along the water’s edge, offering long, slow meals with views across the trees and boats below.

What makes Cottage Point special is the balance it strikes, close enough to Sydney that you can arrive without a long trip, yet remote enough to feel like a genuine escape. Anyone who wants a holiday centred on nature, water and quiet. Mornings start slowly, afternoons drift by on the deck or in a boat, and the evenings settle into the kind of calm you rarely find so close to the city. It’s a place people come to unwind and usually wish they could stay longer.
