Nestled on the hillside of Morning Bay in Ku-ring-gai National Park and surrounded by bushland, YHA Pittwater Eco is the perfect tranquil getaway for those wishing to escape the city without ever leaving Sydney.
Accessible only by ferry or water taxi from Church Point, this is the only accommodation located within Ku-ring-gai National Park and is ideal for escaping to nature for a week or weekend.
The property is designed to be as sustainable as possible, with passive solar design, low energy fixtures and 100% reliance on rainwater tanks for its water needs.
By day, kayak or stand-up paddleboard around the bay, take bush walks to nearby lookouts or spot elusive native wildlife like wallabies, possums, goannas and birds. By evening, utilise the guest kitchen or barbeque to cook up a storm and fall asleep to the sounds of nature.
Fancy having the place to yourself? This property is available for exclusive bookings.

After a day of kayaking, this was the perfect place to spend the night. Thomas has been incredibly helpful and even lit the fireplace for us, making the evening extra special. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Very lovely place. Slightly dark on the outside when coming back at night. Lots of friendly animals and wallabies. Nice and quiet, love being in nature and a great place to relax.

Such a beautiful calm place. Temily was such a beautiful kind lady. She has such a welcoming calm energy and she went above and beyond and even taught us how to make pottery. Sheβs also excellent at making coffee We love Temily

Wonderful place to spend a few days. You can relax around the property or near the water or you can be as active as you want with paddle boards and kayaks available to hire.
Likewise, you can also choose to have everything done for you and opt for catered or you can sort yourself and cook!
The team are super helpful and the on-site coffee just what you need in a morning.
Thanks to Amy for a great weekend!

Learnt a lot about aboriginal culture and the environment. Definitely became more aware of ways I can contribute to reducing plastic waste in my everyday life.
