Celebrated my 40th staying 4 nights. The Deckhouse is an absolutely beautiful spot to relax. Highly recommend doing brunch at the Kiosk, hiring a tinny and booking in for a long lunch at the Inn too. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Belinda & Paul.

Fantastic Stay!
Had a wonderful 2 nights stay with my sister. We loved sitting out on the balcony for sunsets looking across the water to the untouched national park. The kayaks were a highlight and so easy with the jetty. We also went for a fantastic bush walk to Lovetts pool for a dip. The house was extremely clean and so well equipped. Will definitely visit again!

Beautiful property and location
This is a beautiful property set in the most idyllic location. Belinda made the check-in process very simple and all instructions very clear. The house was lovely and clean and so well equiped. The view was very special and its location so close to Cottage Point Inn and the Kiosk was an added bonus. We would love to visit again.

Fantastic hosts who could not be more helpful. Situated on the waters edge we both absolutely switched off , great way to finish our holidays. We called the top level our home and the lower level our holiday house. Different and welcome experience moving between each level . Highly recommend.

Waterfront paradise
Cottage Point is one of the most unique and beautiful places I have ever holidayed in. Surrounded by natural beauty Belinda and Paul have created a wonderful getaway with everything you need to relax and unwind. The inclinator down to the property gives an expansive view of the river as you descend to the waters edge. Magical sunsets and active river life were fantastic to watch. A boat hire and kiosk are located nearby for things you might need. The house is amazing! Sparkling clean, comfortable with style and charm. Cant speak highly enough of our hosts who made our stay brilliant! Thanks Belinda and Paul.
