Rimrock Retreat - a place to relax

Rimrock Retreat is the ideal place to relax and unwind or, if you prefer, get some serious work done without distractions. It is not a party house as we love our neighbours!

Rimrock Retreat comprises two discreet levels that can be booked separately or together.

# The Upper Level sleeps 6 and has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms as well as an open plan lounge/dining area and fully equipped kitchen, including dishwasher, microwave and Nespresso machine. There is a huge deck with an outdoor table and lounge area as well as 2 small courtyards. There is a TV, DVD, CD player and a gas barbecue:
Main bedroom - queen bed (and ensuite)
2nd Bedroom - queen bed
3rd Bedroom - 2 single beds

# The Lower Level is a large studio which sleeps 2-4. There is a queen bed and a queen sofa bed. This level includes a bathroom, an open plan lounge/dining area and fully equipped kitchen including dishwasher, microwave and a huge deck with an outdoor table and lounge area. There is a TV, DVD and CD player
1 Queen Bed
1 Queen sofa bed


There are breathtaking panoramic ocean and coastal views taking in Barrenjoey Lighthouse to Point Little from the huge private north east facing decks on both levels. The seamless indoor outdoor living areas are furnished in comfortable beach style including two large Balinese day beds for that afternoon snooze.

Palm Beach and Whale Beach are a leisurely 10-15 minutes walk away and there are many restaurants, cafes and shops nearby ( a walk or 5 -15 minutes drive). In addition there are many excursions possible including walking up to the Barrenjoey Lighthouse, taking a ferry trip on Pittwater and walking in the local National Parks.

The tariff includes a set up and an outgoing clean as well as all sheets and towels including surf and tea towels. In addition a number of kitchen items are supplied including gladwrap, alfoil, oil, vinegar, tea, coffee, sugar and a range of herbs and spices (list available on request). Games, books, videos and CDs are also available as well as a number of cookbooks and magazines.

Guests will be asked to provide photo ID incuding address details as part of the booking process.

Our stay at Shane’s house was fabulous. The views over the Pacific Ocean below are spectacular. The home has beach/old worldly style and is so well presented. We would love to stay again.

Only unhappy with the weather. Two days of heavy rain showed a little sunshine in the final hours.

Short getaway with fabulous sea view
The house is super cozy. We loves the house decor, especially the couches on the deck . It has become the favourite spot for all of us. The house is well maintained and there are a huge selection of kitchenware, board game etc. Some of us found the linen to be a bit dusty but it might be because of the Covid lock down. Other than that, the house is amazing! will definitely come back again. Thanks for hosting us, Shane.

A weekend away that has given us lasting memories
Stunning views and very comfortable accommodation, especially upstairs. Everything you need is provided, even to a broad selection of coffee pods. Inclinator was a Godsend, so helpful with bags and supplies. We would definitely stay here again.
