3 Bedroom House in Patonga

Description
This quaint historic building was once the Patonga School House and has also been a general store. We have chosen to nickname the house, POSH (Patongaโ€™s Old School House) because itโ€™s easier to say than the lengthy name.
POSH is an historic building but was sympathetically renovated creating an open, airy, ambient atmosphere inside whilst retaining the quaint, โ€˜old schoolโ€™ appearance. POSH is now a comfortable, open plan, casual beach house.
POSH is within a few moments easy level stroll to all amenities that Patonga has to offer which includes the Coffee Shop, Renowned Fish and Chip Shop as well as the Patonga Boathouse Hotel which serves great meals.
Of course there is also the beach, creek and Patonga Wharf across the road from the coffee shop, great to wander out on to the wharf to sip your coffee enjoying the views, the sunshine and waterside activities.
This house has a light and airy ambience. It offers open plan, casual living, a well equipped galley kitchen, with 2 actual bedrooms, a sleeping space as per mud map/house plan and 2 modern bathrooms. The living space opens onto a private courtyard which nestles beneath a stunning cliff highlighted by the spotlights at night.
PLEASE NOTE: One of the rooms at POSH is private, used for storage. The house will sleep four in total, a Double bed, Queen bed. Will sleep five or six as a sofa bed and a portacot is available if required.

Purpose of Visit
Patonga is a quiet fishing village, a very special place not very far from Sydney, where a you can relax, do as much as you wish or as little as you wish, cook as much as you like or not at all, go on long walks or short walks or not at all. It is quiet and weโ€™d like to keep it that way by asking that the rights of neighbours and the community is respected.
POSH is a place where families get together, relax, enjoy the ambience, enjoy the beach, watch the stars, watch the birds, watch a movie, take the kids on a walk, to the playground, play a game of hit and giggle at the tennis courts, fish, swim, paddle, sunbake or just let the world rush on by.
We rarely book back to back so that allows us to be flexible with arrival and departure times.
If you have any requests regarding this, please talk to us.
The house is two bedrooms, one sleeping area which is not a seperate room, two bathrooms, sleeping six, a cot and a roll out trundle is (please ask us if required as they are stored) available as well as amenities including bath towels and bed linen.

Summary: What a beautiful beach. Very quiet and serene. The Old School House was very peaceful. It was lovely not having to share bathrooms. It was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen is more than complete. Buy your food before you get to Patonga as there are no shops

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, just wish we could have stayed longer. POSH felt like a home away from home. Every room was immaculate, clean and fully equipped. There were even sharp knives. working appliances and everything in the kitchen you could want for. Our grandchildren greatly appreciated all the thoughtful touches. Our dog loved the place and the beach. We had a lovely ferry trip to Palm Beach for lunch. The Boat House restaurant was a bit pricing, but justified by the high quality food and service. The kids lovely the park, gentle beach and shell collecting. The whole experience was wonderful and hosts Kerry and Peter were great to deal with including local tips and info. Our 10yo granddaughter wants move in and my husband says it was the best place Iโ€™ve booked.
