Patonga :
Patonga is a delightful fishing village which provides the starting point for several wonderful bush walks into the National Park. The creek is also an ideal area for both adults and children to explore. You can also come prepared to play tennis at the local courts found at the end of the beach while the children have fun in the playground situated next to the courts. These courts can be booked at the local shop. Bring your kayak too if you have one, for a wonderful paddle up the creek. A daily ferry offers a trip across the bay to Palm Beach. A water taxi service is available if you need it. For fine dining try the Box at Ettalong , situated on the bay. Check reviews however as quality may change! Alternatively grab a quick dinner of fish and chips at the local shop or relax with casual dining at the Boat House opposite the wharf at Patonga. The Boat House is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner during holidays and weekends and provides a great view of the bay. Feel like a drive? Drive over the hill to Pearl Beach or a little further to Ettalong for fine dining options.

Lovely house but location & access may challenge some
Beautiful house with good layout and lovely furnishing and linens. Well equipped although a few more matching wine glasses and some champagne glasses would be good. House is up the hill from Patonga beach area which requires a short walk down a twisty narrow road that has not pavement, so caution is required. Driveway is steep as mentioned in the posting, but it is also on a 90 degree bend which makes getting out quite challenging. Luckily we had a group so could have someone watching uphill and another downhill when we were trying to get out. Worth the effort though for the house and the view, we had a lovely weekend.
We had a lovely stay in Necia’s house & was not disappointed with any aspect of our visit. Good communication & we appreciated the late check out. Thanks
Lovely property with perfect views of treetops and water. Very relaxing. Well appointed house. Recommend it. Dog friendly- although unfenced and close to Road. No direct path to beach. But the beach walks are magical.
We had an amazing stay at Patonga. I stayed with my husband and daughter.
The view from the balcony was gorgeous and in the evening the breeze was so refreshing with the balcony doors open. The house was beautifully decorated and spacious and had everything we required. The kitchen was fully equipped with all cooking utensils and even spices etc for cooking! The bathroom was equipped with shower gel and shampoo / conditioner.
We had BBQ on the terrace one night enjoying the amazing view. We even had beautiful native birds such as coloured parrots, and even a kookaburra visit on the balcony.
The Patonga boathouse was a fantastic spot - we loved it there.
Recommend to get the ferry to Palm beach for the day too.
The driveway is quite steep but we managed to navigate and got used to it.
Necia (host) was lovely and great at communicating and very quick to respond.
We would definitely recommend staying here and would love to stay again.
The house is in immaculate condition. The balcony/view is gorgeous. The kitchen is well stocked. Everything worked/functioned as described. The owner/host was charming and quick to respond. The birds at dawn and sunset were a joy.
I stayed with my husband and my elderly parents. The house is gorgeous and fully equipped with everything anyone could want/ need for cooking as well lovely bathroom products. The views from the terrace are very restful and because it's high up, there is a nice breeze. If the breeze isn't cooling enough, the air conditioning works well (main room only). It's really close to Patonga beach and although we did walk it, the road is probably not good for many people (certainly not children) as the it is narrow and curvy. We had a relaxing short break - thank you.
Spacious beautiful house with great views. Everything you need available in the house.
Close to everything but you do need to walk down the side of the round, which I wouldn't be keen on doing in the dark.
Otherwise pretty little spot
Great House in Patonga . Views were amazing , located higher up the hill. The house is large, with plenty of room for everyone. The two living areas were great for the boys to watch sport , while the girls enjoyed the upstairs. Necia was amazing, nothing was too much trouble. When we contacted her with a small issue, she reacted immediately, and sorted it for us.
Would highly recommend this property
Had such a fun weekend away with girlfriends, this house was absolutely perfect, very clean tidy, nice open spaces, walking distance to bay and boat house. A great spot.
I stayed at this lovely property with my family to celebrate my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Plenty of indoor & outdoor space for 3 couples with a large balcony with beautiful views & an open-plan kitchen/lounge/dining area. Loved Patonga too- don’t miss happy hour at the Boathouse & the challenging (but amazing) bushwalk to Pearl Beach. Necia was super helpful & we had everything we needed, including a BBQ.
Only downside for my parents (in their 70s) was the steep drive, but this wasn’t an issue for us 40-somethings.
Definitely recommended for a group of adults :)

Not the cleanest
The property was very poorly cleaned. These were the issues
- broken glass on the floor my daughter almost stepped on upon arriving
- food residue on most cutlery/ utensils, pans and bowls
- although it offered a state of the art coffee machine, old coffee was left in the tamper and the milk frother had old milk residue stuck to it.
- bathrooms were filthy with visible dirt on the shower floors and shower screens when we first ran the water to try and clean it.
- old products of previous people who stayed there were left in bathrooms
- rugs in the living space were dusty and not vacuumed
We spent a lot of time having to clean things up before we could use them, including vacuuming and mopping the entire house
The positives are
- The owner/manager was very responsive and agreed how poorly cleaned it was once pictures were sent through. Tried to organise a cleaner to come out which unfortunately didn’t pan out.
- proximity to Patonga boathouse and the beach, as well as a kids playground.
This place did have many great reviews so hopefully it was just a once off.
Our family had a wonderfully relaxing summer break in Patonga at this holiday home. The view was amazing and the space accommodated our family of 5 very well. There is plenty of space for more! Super close to great coffee, gorgeous beaches and excellent bush walks. Thank you!
Immaculately presented property with wonderful views!
We really enjoyed our week long stay at Patonga Views! The house was beautifully appointed with everything one could hope for. The views out over Broken Bay are superb. Only slight imperfections are the very steep and narrow driveway and absence of a pathway down to the beach. But overall we loved our stay here and would highly recommend.
Beautifully furnished and welcoming! Host was fast to respond. We loved everything about our stay.

About the host
Hosted by Necia Merrells
Michael and I love to travel and discover new places. A favourite place to return to has always been Patonga. We love to share our house with you and gain pleasure when sharing this beautiful space with you and your family or friends.
Why they chose this property
Patonga Views is special because it gives you a private space that allows you to enjoy the ever changing views of Patonga Brisk Bay and the National Park. A real treat is being at eye level with whistling kites that encircle the bay looking for prey.
What makes this property unique
There are several levels in this house that allows you to get a private space for yourself. Tall ceilings upstairs give a sense of spaciousness in this house which is perfect for entertaining or just relaxing with a good book.
