Patonga House | The Old School House STRA # 31919

2 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 (Patonga’s Old School House) because it’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, ‘old school’ 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.
If you require the cot, please let us know.
Ceiling fans - throughout the house add to the sea breeze in summer and in winter there is a R/C air conditioning to keep the house cosy. Go to sleep to the sound of the waves.
Easy street parking.

The premises is fully fenced however due to recent heavy storms etc we have ‘decommissioned’ the back yard so that water mitigation works and subsequent landscaping can be undertaken so it is not accessible.

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 we’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.
