Another notable home in the area is "Tulkiyan", located on the Pacific Highway. This home was designed by Bertrand James Waterhouse, an architect who was popular for his residential work (he was also responsible for the design of "Nutcote", the home of painter May Gibbs). He designed "Tulkiyan" in the Arts and Crafts style that he favoured in much of his work. "Tulkiyan" was built on part of a land grant that went back to 1823. The land changed hands many times until it was acquired by the Donaldson family, who commissioned Waterhouse to design the house. It stayed in the hands of the Donaldson family until 1994, when it was bequeathed to Ku-ring-gai Council. "Tulkiyan" has a state heritage listing.
