Wahroonga House is not just another Sydney holiday home. It is the kind of property that makes a family gathering, a milestone weekend or an extended stay feel effortless, spacious and genuinely memorable.

We manage a lot of beautiful properties, but this one has something special. Set within Hunters Hill, one of Sydney’s most tightly held and leafy heritage suburbs, Wahroonga House offers luxury accommodation in Hunters Hill with scale, privacy and a true sense of place, just moments from the harbour foreshore and a short drive from the Sydney CBD.

With 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and space for up to 7 guests, this beautifully presented private estate is perfect for families, professionals on extended stays, groups travelling together and anyone searching for luxury holiday rentals in Sydney that feel more elevated than a standard short stay.

About the Stay

Wahroonga House is a rare blend of privacy, scale and understated luxury. Set behind manicured gardens in one of Sydney’s quietest harbourside pockets, the home has been thoughtfully presented to offer the comfort and finish guests expect from a premium Sydney stay.

Inside, the home feels considered, generous and effortlessly liveable. Think a dedicated cinema-style entertainment lounge, multiple living zones, a sleek contemporary kitchen and a quiet workspace for guests who need to stay connected.

It is the kind of place made for long summer afternoons by the pool, relaxed evening gatherings on the deck, quiet mornings in the garden and comfortable evenings in front of a film.

Sleeps Up to 7: Perfect for Families, Executive Stays and Groups

Across four bedrooms and three bathrooms, Wahroonga House is ideal for guests who want space, comfort and flexibility. The bedding configuration includes:

• King bedroom (with ensuite bath, shower and toilet)
• Queen bedroom (with ensuite toilet and shower)
• Queen bedroom
• King single bedroom

This layout works beautifully for families wanting family accommodation with real space, professionals booking executive rentals in Sydney for work, groups planning a weekend house rental, and guests looking for a longer, more settled stay.

The multiple living zones are a real advantage. Guests can come together in the entertainment lounge for a film night, gather around the kitchen and dining area for long lunches, or spread out with room to retreat and unwind separately. In warmer months, the pool and alfresco deck make the home feel like a private resort. Year-round climate control means the home is just as comfortable in winter as it is in summer.

Moments from Sydney Harbour, in One of the City’s Best-Kept Secrets

The location is one of the biggest reasons this home stands out. Among the many options for accommodation in Sydney, Wahroonga House places you in one of the city’s most exclusive and leafy harbourside suburbs, just 9 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, and a genuine alternative to standard Sydney accommodation in the CBD or inner-city apartments.

Hunters Hill sits on a peninsula where the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers meet the harbour, giving guests easy access to waterfront reserves, historic sandstone architecture and a genuinely village-like pace of life that feels a world away from the city, while remaining close to it.

Nearby, guests can explore Clarke’s Point Reserve for harbour and bridge views, walk the waterfront at Boronia Park, or take in the heritage streetscapes that make Hunters Hill home to one of the largest collections of standalone sandstone cottages in Sydney. The suburb also marks the starting point of the Great North Walk, for guests who want to explore further afield.

It is Sydney harbourside living without losing the feeling of a private, considered escape.

A Private Estate Made for Special Stays

Wahroonga House is more than a Sydney holiday rental. Its scale, privacy and elevated finish make it a beautiful choice for stays that feel a little more important, whether that is a family milestone, an extended work stay or a considered group getaway.

It is especially well suited to families wanting space to spread out, professionals needing a comfortable base for a longer stay, and groups looking for refined accommodation close to Sydney’s harbour and CBD without the compromises of a standard rental.

Whether you are planning a family gathering, an extended stay, a corporate trip or simply a private Sydney escape, this home offers the right balance of privacy, comfort and location.

Why This Property Stands Out

What makes Wahroonga House special is not just one feature. It is the combination of privacy, scale, location and lifestyle.

A Luxury Stay Near Sydney’s Best Harbourside Attractions

The beauty of this property is that it works year round. In summer, it is all about the pool, the alfresco deck and long evenings outdoors. In winter, the indoor fireplace, climate control and cinema lounge make it feel warm and settled. It is a rare Sydney stay that feels just as appealing in the cooler months as it does during peak summer.

Frequently Asked Questions

We manage a lot of beautiful stays, but this one is different. It’s a complete escape, not just a holiday. Tucked away on Pittwater’s western shores, our 5-star waterfront retreat in Coasters Retreat brings the journey, the setting and the home together into something genuinely memorable.

Coasters Retreat is one of Sydney’s true waterside hideaways, set inside Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. No busy roads, no traffic noise, no everyday rush. You’ll arrive by ferry, water taxi or private boat, which gives every stay here a sense of arriving somewhere private, peaceful and wonderfully removed from city life.

Palm Beach Ferries calls Bennetts Wharf and Bonnie Doon the gateway to Coasters Retreat, with the route travelling through Pittwater and Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park.

About the Stay

Set across three split levels with a separate studio, we designed this home to suit its Pittwater setting: large windows, open-plan living and multiple balconies frame the water and bushland from almost every angle.

It’s the kind of place made for long lunches, BBQ dinners and sunset drinks over Pittwater in summer, and cosy fireside weekends in the cooler months.

Sleeps Up to 10: Perfect for Families, Groups and Special Getaways

Across four bedrooms and four bathrooms, this Coasters Retreat holiday home suits families just as well as groups of friends, multi-generational stays, or anyone planning a special waterfront escape.

There’s plenty here for children and adults alike to enjoy. The peaceful natural setting, outdoor spaces, smart entertainment, comfortable interiors and water views come together to create a stay that feels genuinely relaxed.

Nearby, The Basin picnic area sits on the western foreshores of Pittwater in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. NSW National Parks notes there’s no direct vehicle access. It’s reached by ferry from Palm Beach, private boat, or on foot and bike through the park. It’s a wonderful base for swimming, picnicking, exploring the bay, getting into nature, or just slowing down and staying put.

Why This Property Stands Out

What makes this Pittwater waterfront retreat so special isn’t one single feature. It’s the combination of location, design and atmosphere. It’s close enough to Sydney for a weekend escape, yet secluded enough to feel like a true getaway.

A Unique Stay Near Sydney

If you’re after waterfront holiday accommodation near Sydney, we think this 5-star Coasters Retreat property is a rare find: the tranquility of a remote coastal escape, while still being accessible from the city. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, a group getaway, a peaceful weekend retreat or a special occasion by the water, this home offers a setting that feels genuinely different from the standard holiday rental.
