FAQ
Multiple Hire
- Care to share
SPLITS: Same pickup, same destination shares the fare!
DOUBLES: Taxis may take multiple fares to different locations. Each party will be charged for their destination.
Cartage
- too much stuff?
People, not Cargo. We will be very happy to recommend an appropriate punt or barge service if a client needs to move cargo. If the driver agrees to take excess baggage or cargo, cartage rates will apply and an estimate will be advised at time of loading.
Guide. Single large and/or heavy items such as suitcases, eskies and toolboxes are $5 each and smaller items as $1 each.
- Scotland Island
Scotland Island has five major commuter wharves: Bell, Carols, Eastern, Tennis and Cargo. The Island is entirely residential; there are no shops or public toilets.
Note that the Community Vehicle 0404103700 can drive right down the edge of the Cargo Wharf which may be advantageous if you have heavy bags or passengers with mobility issues.
Access to the major wharves is generally only affected by strong winds and sea state, however, there are segments of the Island where access to waterfront properties with private wharves can also be limited by tides.
- The Bays
The Bays are on the western foreshores of Pittwater and back onto the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Although part of the mainland, they are water access only.
There are public wharves at South Elvina, North Elvina, Lovett Bay, Woody Point (Halls) and Morning Bay. Morning Bay was called Towlers Bay for many years and was recently changed back.
Access to the Pittwater YHA is normally via Halls Wharf, then approximately a 10 minute walk up a very picturesque bush track. The YHA can also be reached from Morning Bay Wharf which is a shorter walk but a steeper track.
- McCarrs Creek
The western foreshores of McCarr’s Creek back onto the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and are water access only. There are no public wharves, only private ones.
The properties are all waterfront and the original parcel of land was known as the Douglass Estate. There is also a small parcel known as the Calabash Estate.
- Pittwater South
The various public wharves and marinas are a source of restaurants and social venues for those living offshore.
Church Point: Waterfront Cafe & Restaurant, Pasadena on Pittwater and the Quays Marina Cafe.
Bayview: 8 knots Cafe.
Newport: Royal Motor Yacht Club, Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club and The Newport pub.
Clareville: Clareville Kiosk.
On a more utilitarian note, parking at Church Point can be problematic at holiday times and visitors may need to park further afield.
- Pittwater North
The Palm Beach Ferry Wharf is the transport hub for northern Pittwater and connections across Broken Bay to the Central Coast.
A short walk gets you to Barrenjoey House for a meal. Around on Barrenjoey Beach (still walking distance if the tide isn't kind) is The Boathouse restaurant.
If the local services at Palm Beach are not operating, we are very happy to accommodate.
Common trips are from Palm Beach to Great Mackerel Beach, Currawong Beach, The Basin and Coasters Retreat. Please note we do not cross Broken Bay.
