Waterfront Retreat. Pool. Sleeps 6

Summary:

A private jetty. Wide water views. A pool at the canal's edge. Welcome to MainSail.



MainSail is a north-facing waterfront home on the tranquil canals of St Huberts Island — recently transformed with a high-end designer renovation, a private jetty, a glass-fenced pool, a fire pit at the water's edge, and wide water views from almost every room. For families and groups who want to be completely on the water without the noise of a busy beach, there is nowhere else like it on the Central Coast.



The Space:

MainSail sits on the quiet canal cul-de-sac of St Huberts Island — a north-facing sanctuary where the light plays on the water from morning until evening and the only sounds are birdlife and the gentle lap of the canal against the jetty below. Recently transformed with a high-end designer renovation, this three-bedroom home for six guests combines genuine style with a setting so calm and beautiful that guests consistently say it's the best version of a holiday they've ever had. This is waterfront living at its most complete.



What We Love



The Private Jetty:

Step down from the grassed yard and the private jetty extends directly into the canal — your own dock to fish from, kayak from, watch birdlife from at sunrise, or simply sit on with a glass of wine as the light changes over the water. It is the most distinctive feature in the portfolio and the thing guests remember longest after they leave. There is nothing else like it.



The Water Views:

Wide water views from a north-facing position mean the canal is lit from morning to evening — early light on the water with your first coffee, golden hour from the deck before dinner, and canal reflections shimmering in the dark from the fire pit at night. Multiple rooms, the pool area, the deck, and the jetty all face the water. The experience of being on the canal isn't a moment — it's the entire stay.



The Pool & Fire Pit:

A glass-fenced pool sits at the water's edge, surrounded by lush yard and local birdlife — afternoon swims with the canal stretching out beside you. At the end of the day, the bespoke fire pit takes over — roasting marshmallows as the canal lights shimmer on the water, or simply sitting in the quiet warmth of a still Central Coast evening. Very few properties offer both.



The Gas Fireplace & Deck:

Inside, a stunning gas fireplace anchors the lower living area — the natural winter gathering point for movie nights, long dinners, and the kind of evenings that remind you why you left the city. The massive undercover entertaining deck connects the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly and works in every season and every weather.



The Kitchen:

A sleek modern kitchen with quality appliances and a generous layout — designed for easy group cooking whether it's a quick lunch between swims or a long dinner with the deck doors open to the canal.

The Location:

St Huberts Island is a quiet, secluded residential island on the Central Coast — connected to the mainland by a single bridge, surrounded by the calm waters of Brisbane Water, and just a short drive from some of the region's most beautiful destinations. Killcare Beach and Pearl Beach are minutes away for surf and swimming. Ettalong Beach's café strip and ferry to Palm Beach are close by. Brisbane Water National Park is on the doorstep for coastal walks and bushland. Sydney is 90 minutes away — and feels considerably further once you cross the bridge onto the island.



The Seasons:

MainSail has no off-season — only a different reason to come back. Summer means pool days, jetty afternoons, and long deck dinners as the canal turns gold in the last light. The school holidays fill fast, and the jetty is rarely without someone fishing or watching the birdlife from the edge. Autumn brings a stillness to the island that summer visitors never see — the water quieter, the birdlife bolder, the fire pit coming into daily use.



Winter at MainSail is genuinely extraordinary — the island empties, the canal belongs to you entirely, the gas fireplace fills the living room with warmth, and the fire pit at the water's edge on a clear winter night — with the stars above and the canal lights below — is the kind of moment that makes you rebook before you've even left. Spring warms the pool and the jetty back to life. Whatever the season, MainSail is the waterfront the Central Coast keeps to itself.



The Neighborhood:

St Huberts Island is a peaceful, waterside suburb on the Central Coast, known for its relaxed coastal lifestyle and beautiful canal-front setting. Surrounded by Brisbane Water, the island is largely residential and popular with families, retirees, and boating enthusiasts thanks to its many waterfront homes, private jetties, and easy access to the water. It has a quiet, community-focused feel while still offering scenic views and a strong sense of privacy.



Despite its tranquil atmosphere, St Huberts Island is very conveniently located. It’s just minutes from local shops, cafés, schools, beaches, and major transport links, including the M1 to Sydney and Newcastle. Nearby destinations like Ettalong Beach, Umina Beach, and Woy Woy provide dining, ferry access, and coastal activities, making St Huberts Island an ideal blend of calm island living and everyday convenience.
