Steele Point's location in Sydney Harbour National Park is hard to beat. Perched on the edge of a sandstone cliff in Nielsen Park, you're surrounded by lovely swimming spots and outstanding views of Sydney's cityscape.

Built in the 1880s as a gunner's barracks to protect Sydney Harbour, Steele Point Cottage has been carefully renovated to keep heritage features including original ceilings and timber flooring. It's the perfect accommodation for weekend escapes and honeymooners.

There's plenty of things to do in Nielsen Park during your stay. Take a walk along the Hermitage Foreshore track towards Rose Bay, passing beautiful Milk Beach, Queens Beach and Hermit Bay along the way. Picnic in the grounds of the nearby historic Greycliffe House or Strickland Estate. If you want to explore further afield, the cottage isn't far from the iconic Watsons Bay and Bondi Beach.

If you prefer to keep it local, the cottage is equipped with everything you need for a romantic getaway. Cosy up in your soft bathrobe, bring a bottle of bubbly and watch the city light up as the sun sets.
