We’ve still got a few tables left for Father’s Day on Sunday and a couple of boats too!

If Dad’s more of a coffee-and-breakfast-by-the-water kind of guy, come down early and enjoy a beautiful calm morning by the river.

Or, if he prefers his Father’s Day with a bit more groove, join us for lunch with live music from OLTAY in the afternoon.

Breakfast or lunch. Coffee or beer. Peace and quiet or a few tunes.

Whatever floats Dad’s boat.

We woke up on the other side of the world today, enjoying a little Turkish breakfast, looking forward to revisiting places we called home during our super yachting days when we received a notification that’d we’d unexpectedly been mentioned in NSW Parliament by our state member Jacqui Scruby!

Thank you for supporting us, our Kiosk, our community and small hospitality businesses on the Northern Beaches. It really means a lot to us.

It was quite special to see your address whilst sitting in a country which was an integral part of our life journey that eventually led us to Cottage Point, and it was a lovely reminder that there really is no place like home.

⚓️ Well, that’s a wrap on another season at Cottage Point!

We’ve hung up the aprons, parked the boats and we’re taking our annual winter break this month.

We’re looking forward to a bit of travelling, spending quality time with our daughter Sia and enjoying a sleep in or two! We will of course miss our amazing Kiosk family and would like to take this opportunity to thank them this year, more than ever.

From early starts and busy weekends to school holidays, rainy days, sunny days and everything in between, they’ve shown up with smiles, hard work and dedication. Small businesses simply don’t run without great people and we’re incredibly grateful for every one of them - thank you guys ❤️

A special mention must also go to our wonderfully loyal chef, Lek. Through countless busy services, changing seasons and 20+ years at the Kiosk, he has been a constant passenger on our wild roller coaster ride and we’re incredibly lucky to have him. 🌸

To everyone who has visited, hired a boat, enjoyed a coffee, shared a meal, brought friends, posted photos or simply supported our little corner of paradise over the past year, thank you. Your support means more than you know. Running a small family business isn’t always easy but the people around us make it all worthwhile.

We’ll be back in July, refreshed and ready for another season on the water. We will also have a little surprise waiting for us all when we get back - you’ll just have to come and see what it is for yourselves in July! 😉

Until then,
x Trent, Angela & Sia

And just like that it’s the last weekend of Autumn!

After another big season, we’re about to take our annual winter break for the month of June.

Before we disappear we’ve got one last weekend to enjoy the best of Cottage Point.

The forecast is looking kinder, the bush is green after all the rain, the waterfalls are flowing and the coffee machine is ready to go!

Whether it’s a morning coffee, a homemade scone with jam and cream, lunch by the water, or a boat or kayak adventure, this weekend is your last chance to visit us before we close for June.

We’ll be open as usual all weekend and would love to see you.

See you on the waterfront.

Is your mum one of those mums who goes on and on about that Fish Curry she had at Cottage Point Kiosk?

Maybe she’s even tried to recreate it at home?

This Mother’s Day, treat her to a “yes” day and leave the rest to us. 💛
