Property Description

Pittwater YHA is a Lonely Planet Author's Pick hostel.

This unique water access oasis is the perfect city escape. Located within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, this beautiful backpackers hostel is only 30 km north of Sydney's central city area.

Pittwater YHA IS NOT ACCESSIBILE BY CAR. The best way to access the property is via Ferry from Church Point Wharf with the last Ferry departing at 6:30pm on Weekends & public holidays and at 7:00pm on Weekdays.

The hostel has 8 bedrooms, a very well equipped kitchen and a cosy lounge room with a log fire for colder times. The verandah has stunning views across Pittwater harbour to the National Park.

Take a scenic ferry ride, sail on the harbour or bushwalk to aboriginal engraving sites and stunning lookouts. Hire a kayak for a paddle around the bay or just relax in a hammock with the wallabys beside you and the native birds above.

Bring your food as there are no shops at the hostel.

Such a beautiful, peaceful and quite yha. Staff is very nice aswell and the facilities are awesome. An amazing experience for anyone who loves nature and wildlife. Just make sure to bring enough food + if you're up for bushwalking trips (which this place is perfect for) be prepared for longer and steep walks as you need to walk everywhere (there's no public transportation in the National Park). Only downside is that the showers aren't made for people taller than 1,75m :'D

‘A true Getaway’ in a pristine and pure environment. Go there if you really want to unwind and escape from the city (like I needed to) and yet be so close to it! Nothing compliments better to than a safe haven like this YHA. A big shout out and thanks to Michael for taking care and preserving this place so beautifully for me and many others to experience.
