What We Love
An unrivalled waterfront experience awaits you and your guests at this inimitable Elvina Bay property, set in the undisturbed natural beauty of Pittwater. Be immersed in a stay that feels like a forest retreat set amongst the trees, just steps away from sparkling bay waters.
Ten guests can be accommodated across 5 bedrooms, all treated to stunning views from every room. Everything you need will be on hand, so bring a healthy sense of adventure, as this memorable trip is sure to be full of relaxation and fun, recalled for years to come.
The spacious, unique home is the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. Built to evoke the style of a waterfront beach house, you'll feel all stresses melt away, and holiday mode kick-in as soon as you set foot on the half-acre grounds. There is an array of colourful flora and fauna to be seen and heard outside, including Kookaburras.
Accessed via boat and in an elevated position near the waterfront, the home has expansive views of both Elvina Bay and Lovett Bay. Lovett Bay beach is just a 50m walk from the house, so you can wander down towards the shoreline to sunbathe, picnic, kayak and more. The jetty on the Elvina Bay side is a favourite for jumping off and swimming!
A renovation to the interior took place in 2020 to refresh and rejuvenate all aspects, from oak floorboards throughout to all new furniture for your comfort and relaxation. Luxury linen, towels and amenities are included during your stay.
The full modern kitchen has new appliances, and there is a large indoor dining table. Sliding doors from the living room glass doors open for combined indoor/outdoor living and reveal an expansive outdoor entertainment deck overlooking gorgeous Lovett Bay. Dine alfresco at the beautiful timber table for 10 or stretch out on the comfortable casual seating area. There is also a bar fridge, gas BBQ for grilling delicious meals and firepit for toasting marshmallows - all whilst watching the sunset and boats glide by in the distance, with nature all around. Have a family pizza night and use the wood-fired pizza oven! There is an additional elevated deck in the garden with a daybed for naps in the sun.
The indoor recreational living space is a vast area with ample seating. Sit back and relax on the sofa, armchair or window seat and take in the picturesque views of Elvina Bay, whilst two leather occasional chairs and footstool provide spectacular views facing Lovett Bay.
We're certain you'll want to be outside as much as possible, but should you wish to rest indoors or have a quiet relaxing day or evening, you will be able to access Netflix on the TV and Wifi during your stay.
Each bedroom is furnished in neutral coastal tones and the larger suites have additional sitting, storage and access to outdoors available from the main bedrooms. The chic modern bathroom has beautiful natural light, ample basin and bench space and large shower. There is also a powder room and full laundry with additional toilet available.
Located in Elvina Bay, this beach house is water access only via ferry or water taxi (only 5 minutes) from Church Point to North Elvina Wharf. This area will encourage you to relax and unwind in serene and peaceful nature and take advantage of water activities across the beachy foreshore. Newport, Avalon and Palm Beach are just a short water taxi ride away and excellent spots for dining out or grabbing drinks and enjoying a new beach scene.

Discover a new standard for residential stays with havens bringing together the best of hospitality and home. Every reservation is backed by our signature triple-diamond Haven Guarantee, offering enhanced booking flexibility, professional 24/7 guest and emergency support, and an industry-leading Peace of Mind Guarantee.
Flexible Booking Guarantee - A New Standard for Our Industry. With havens, we are committed to offering the most flexible and guest-friendly terms in the industry for residential stays. That’s why we always extend at least a 24-hour grace period for bookings placed more than 30 days before check-in, and after that strive to provide the most flexible cancellation and modification policies that meet or exceed what local property managers are able to offer on their own.
Professional Service Guarantee - Professionally Managed from Booking Through Stay. We believe in the magic that is possible when professionals come together to create one-of-a-kind stays that combine the best of hospitality & home. That’s why every haven experience is professionally managed by a local hospitality company with boots on the ground and comes with an expert trip designer to provide personalized options tailored just for you. Every reservation also comes with a dedicated 24/7 emergency hotline operated by our in-house travel experience specialists, available during your stay and in the 72 hours prior to check-in as an extra layer of service and support.
Peace of Mind Guarantee - Here for You When it Counts. While it’s rare, we recognize that sometimes things don’t always go according to plan - especially in a category where every property is unique. That’s why we stand behind our valued clients and guests with our industry-first Peace of Mind Guarantee. If a property manager cancels your original booked reservation prior to check-in for any reason (e.g. the home was unexpectedly sold, irreparably damaged, or double-booked), we will find you an alternative accommodation of equal or better value, or else provide you with 100% of your money back.
Cancel risk-free within 24 hours of booking if you book more than 30 days before check-in. After that, the reservation becomes non-refundable, and you will be responsible for paying the full value of the reservation. If your plans change due to exceptional circumstances, we will make best efforts to work with the property manager to determine what options, if any, are available on your behalf. However, refunds cannot be guaranteed.
Please feel free to contact our concierge if you need help.
