Luxurious Rural Retreat only Minutes from the beach. Looking for a summer or winter getaway? Family holiday or friend’s getaway? Kids, No Kids, Fur baby? No matter what your reason Woodstock homestead is the perfect place. Located only 3 minutes from the gorgeous town of Milton with its beautiful shops and eateries, and only 7 minutes from the beautiful beaches of Mollymook and Narrawallee.

Only three hours from the Northern Beaches and nestled idyllically between the mountains and the sea, the quaint and historic town of Milton offers dreamy holiday delights for everyone. “There’s something really special about the South Coast, especially Milton,” says Freshwater local, Darren Clarkin. “The people are really accommodating and so friendly and there’s defi nitely a slower pace of life. You can kick back, relax and spend a day at one of the many amazing beaches. If you feel the need to go out there are so amazing places to eat and drink.” In early 2020, the Clarkins were busy looking for their dream holiday home. “I was born in Manly and grew up on the Northern Beaches,” says Kylie Clarkin. “In high school my family moved to Ulladulla and I have many great memories of growing up on the South Coast. After high school, we came back to Manly, and I’ve always dreamed of having a holiday house down there.” In October 2020 the Clarkins settled on Woodstock Homestead - a lush country property in the insta-worthy hills around Milton, and a mere seven minute drive from iconic beaches including, Mollymook and Narrawallee.

A huge part of the appeal of the property is its proximity to Sydney & Canberra. “It’s not too far from Sydney, and once you’re there, you are so close to everything. We love spending days at Mollymook, Narrawallee Inlet or Burrill Lake which is perfect for swimming with the kids. If you’re a keen surfer, there are great surf breaks. The amazing beaches of Jervis Bay are just a short car ride away. If you don’t feel like a day trip, it’s just as easy to stay at home, have a BBQ on the balcony, and play.” There’s nothing quite like having locals, who know an area well, as your hosts and as far as Milton goes, the Clarkins have plenty of favourite hotspots. “Peaches Cafe does a great breakfast and Pilgrims has the best Vegetarian food. Driftwood has the best view in Milton and excellent food and coffee. Another favourite is Milk Haus, which is only a few minutes from Woodstock Homestead - it serves clean fresh food and it’s amazing” smiles Darren. In the evening, there are fantastic options too. The Milton Hotel & Brewery, Bar Yuki ( new ! ) , Harvest Milton for amazing tapas and cocktails, or a short drive away is Rick Steins At Bannisters, Gwylo at Mollymook, and Cuppits Winery. We’re spoilt for choice!”
