Welcome to Camp Seabird, a little timber seaside cottage to retreat to after a day of wandering. Lovingly crafted it is perfect haven to unplug from regular life, relax and enjoy sand, sea and sky.
This cottage is all yours, we do have a couple of friendly neighbours who will leave you completely in peace or guide you to secret water spots and private bush trails.
A place where it feels like time has stood still we are an excellent couples retreat about an hours drive from Sydney CBD.
We are not modern and citified... our guests love the thoughtful simplicity of Camp Seabird. We have everything you could possibly need for a spectacular break in particular our bakers joy of a kitchen. We are clean, stylish and oozing with storytelling charm.
Arriving here is the first part of your adventure - an old school timber ferry across beautiful Pittwater, a hike through Ku-Ring-Gai or arrive by kayak or boat (yes you have a tie up spot).
Camp Seabird is perched right on the banks of the bay.
Cool off in aqua waters, comb the beach for natural treasures, or, if you love deep salty swims, then a leap from the jetty and a short swim back to shore is wonderful.
Curling up inside with a book from the curated library always ranks high on the “things to do when not doing anything” list.
The front door is old school glass, lovely to view sunsets, wallabies and water views from... our back door is barn style, allowing a whispering breeze to flow through.
There is no television. We have bush views out every window and wifi if you need. Our games cupboard is specifically designed to provide joyful ways to connect and our hammock, house kayaks and SUP the perfect ways to unwind and explore. Of course, as we are part of Ku-ring-gai National park, trail walking is plentiful.
Now that we are in Autumn we are opening winter bookings - so cosy to be by the fireplace indoors and festooned fire pit out... our six cotton and linen draped beds with a variety of pillows envelop you whilst you escape from “real life”.
The dining room window seat is our favourite way to start a day with a warm morning drink in tree dappled sunshine.
Access to Camp Seabird is via national parks or Palm Beach Ferries or water taxi - both run from Palm Beach across to Bonnie Doon Wharf.
Main house and laundry for guest use, two patio areas and a front and back garden. We can also give access to our bunk room to the rear of the main cottage with the second toilet and shower just opposite in the courtyard (external to the main cottage and part of the additional guest charges).Coaster's Retreat is so named because coastal trading ships used to wait here to sit out storms and to gather in convoys to sail to Sydney. Terraces were constructed here very early in the nineteenth century to enable settlers and coasters to grow vegetables and crops on a small scale.
Camp Seabird is water access only, you cannot drive here. A short paddle or ferry trip from Palm Beach to Coasters Retreat. Guests could potentially also come down from west head and paddle across from the Basin or walk the Elvina Track (National Parks Fees would apply). The fishermans cottage has all the basics one requires for sleeping, cooking and bathing. All you would need to bring is some food, a toothbrush and a change of clothes.
All directions and Camp Seabird rules sent on confirmation of booking.
