The Shipbuilder's Cottage-Two Century Old Charm

Surrounded by spacious grounds, The Shipbuilder’s Cottage is one of two separate but adjacent rental units (the Summer Kitchen). Built in 1812 by shipbuilder Caleb Ward, the cottage is the oldest home in St. Martins. Its centrepiece is the original brick hearth around which many generations have enjoyed a meal, a pint and a fire on a chilly night. A well-equipped kitchen, an old oak dining table and a large sectional couch are arranged in a spacious room where the whole family can eat and relax The space There is another large living room upstairs with high ceilings and exposed timber beams that has a couch, two single beds and a double pull-out couch. There are board games, puzzles and a TV screen that can be connected with a provided HDMI cord (Macbook requires an HDMI adapter) to your computer, as well as a shelf full of books for you to curl up with. Throughout the house there are hiding spots and a secret passageway that make for a fantastic game of hide-and-go-seek. Outside there is a flag stone patio with BBQ, fire pan, chairs, hammocks in the trees and a sprawling lawn for playing games. On calm nights the world's highest tides can be heard washing into shore, carving the red rock coastline to smooth perfection. The property also offers three separate 1-bedroom units, the Waterloo, William Carson and Paramatta cottages and the adjacent 2- bedroom Shipbuilder's Summer Kitchen.
