Captain's Lookout is located on 110 acres, including unspoiled temperate forest on top of Berry Mountain. It boasts picturesque landscapes, and magnificent elevated ocean views overlooking Coolangatta, Jervis Bay and Shoalhaven Heads.
Set up high on the mountain ridge, Captain's Lookout experiences different climates throughout of the year, and on any given day as the weather fronts roll in. Set in a clearing amongst the temperate forest, you will share the peace and quiet with abundant native wildlife including an echidna, brown wallabies, possums, wombats and a vast array of native birdlife.
At Captain's Lookout, you will instantly feel relaxed as you take a seat on the landscaped viewing deck, perched on the edge of the mountain with large fire pit as its centrepiece. Enjoy the cinema of natural weather events where you can watch the fog majestically rolling in over the mountains, amazing lightning storms over the ocean or on a clear day, you will see the horizon stretching for miles and at night you will feel like you can pluck a star from the sky. Enjoy the covered alfresco area with BBQ in summer and the large slow combustion wood fire which pumps out the heat in winter and provides a cosy ambiance inside. This is the perfect getaway in any season.
Captain's Lookout can comfortably accommodate 7. It's a holiday house suitable for families or couples wanting to rejuvenate from their hustle and bustle lifestyle. This spacious rustic house has 3 good-sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, one at either end of the house. Prepare a meal in the well-equipped kitchen to enjoy by the cosy wood fire, or light up the BBQ and take in those breathtaking views from the covered outdoor entertaining area.
The house is dotted with nautical curiosities, see if you can find the cat o' nine tails, the mast light, the anchor chain link bookends, the ship's compass and the tug boat rope! With books, games, WiFi, TV and DVD, there is plenty to do at the property and no need to leave.
