This property met our needs, a little tired , but they are working on that.

A lovely spacious 2BR cottage in a quiet rural location. Lots to do in the area. There is even a cafe at the end of the road!! Rita and her family are lovely and my kids enjoyed hanging out with hers for the weekend.

Deanna was extremely hospitable. She waited up until we arrived to show us around the house. She also left a lot of treats which was a lovely surprise. The house was exactly what we needed and I wish we could have stayed longer. I would definitely recommend staying at this home.

Perfect little bed and breakfast getaway close to Sydney to relax and unwind after a busy week. Deanna made sure that we had everything we needed so our stay was comfortable. It was a shame we couldn't stay another night. We will definitely be back. Leanne

Nice house,nice views,nice host,thank you Deanna.

Clean, simple, uncluttered. Very comfortable with everything you would want for an overnight or weekend stay. Easy to find. Steep drive but nearby off road parking.

Communication with Deanna was really quick and easy and the place is very relaxing and peaceful. A great value getaway out of the city but close enough to the sights like Brooklyn and the river cruise. I would recommend you need a car when staying here.

Can't recommend the location, the place and the host highly enough. Deanna communicated with us early and often, giving us details that made it easier to find the right driveway :-) And the lovely touch of cupcakes in the fridge ... so thoughtful after a long day and drive. The apartment is high up, very private, quiet and comfortable. The only downside is that we weren't staying longer.

Clean and comfortable. Great warm bed. Beautiful views and great bush walks. Ferry trips to nearby islands a must

Deanna and her gorgeous location, combined with comfortable and remote. Perfect to reground and revitalise.

This is a beautiful place by the river. It rained for much of our stay but the shark was a peaceful and comfortable place for watching the rain. It has an extremely well-stocked kitchen, and beautiful views from the bedroom and balcony. Getting to bar point takes a bit of organisation, as it's boat access only, but we took the mail boat from Brooklyn and jacqui picked us up in her boat from the bar point public wharf. The trip itself is beautiful and I'd recommend staying here.

We had a great experience at the Sheila Shack! A unique and relaxing experience, Jacqui has created a bush hideaway with character where you can feel totally at peace with nature. A unique indoor / outdoor style shack: it has all the benefits of experiencing the wild, but with the comfort of a kitchen and living room that opens out to the bush, and a closed bathroom and bedroom. Thank you Jacqui!

A MUST VISIT TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL A small but gorgeous tree house with Jacqui being a fantastic host. Set on a hill side close by the river the aspect from the bedroom looking out into the green trees is a special place to wake too or to just relax and read a book. All necessities are provided to keep the nasty bush insects away and they kitchen is thoroughly stocked with all the extra condiments you would ever thought you needed to bring. Jacqui’s catering options she provided (at an additional small charge) were delicious and made for hassle free packing. Five star Luxury Glamping at its best!

We had a fabulous time at the river shack! Jacqui was very helpful and made our stay so wonderful. It is a beautiful setting and the shack has been set out so thoughtfully. Would definitely stay again and definitely recommend!

We had the most perfect time at Sheila Shack! A beautiful and cozy space with amazing views and the best host you could have. Impossible not to go back!

We had a great stay at Jacqui's - we loved the quiet and being out in nature. The place was perfect, a little hideaway away from the hustle and bustle of city life. We would definitely recommend staying here if you want some time to retreat and feel refreshed and rejuvenated. Thanks Jacqui for having us.

Couldn't have imagined a better experience! So wholesome, relaxing, beautiful. The shack itself is even better than the photos convey - a cool layout, tastefully styled, well stocked and set-up, and incredibly integrated with its surroundings thanks to the numerous windows and open wall. Waking up to the sounds and views of nature is something really special too. Loved having a digital detox of sorts, and in between moments of tranquility we were able to do as we pleased - go for a bushwalk, kayak to a private beach, play games on the lawn nestled along the foreshore, swim in the river and spend time reading on the jetty. Jacqui was an incredible host - very thoughtful and generous (thanks for the gin!), always contactable but never intrusive, and provided all the information we ever needed. I always love trying something new, but this is a place I know I'll be returning to - and can't wait to find the artesian water hole next time round! Cannot recommend highly enough :)

The shack is really great value for money, to be true to her words Jacqui has made sure you have everything needed for a relaxed holiday. A special note of thanks to Jacqui, she called us a couple days before our visit to update about the super hot weather when we have planned our trip (we din't think of checking the weather till then) and she made sure to follow up till we have reached the destination. We really appreciate that, it was a very lovely experience.

Holly's place is such a beautiful getaway that we didn't want to leave. Every detail has been considered, in particular, the breakfast hamper with fresh baked bread and home made conserves. The Hawksbury river, Cogra Bay and especially Holly's hospitable, kind and generous family have left us spellbound.

Cogra Bay is by far the best Air BnB we have ever stayed at! An absolutely stunning apartment is an awesome setting. Holly is a great host, a great experience from start to finish. I can highly recommend the walk to the lookout over the river, it's simply stunning! The homemade bread, muffins and freshly laid eggs for breakfast were delicious. Myself and my partner had a great time, we wished we could have stayed for longer, we will definitely be back!

Unique in every sense of the word, Cogra Bay is a welcome escape from the big smoke. A short boat ride from Brooklyn has you arriving to the most beautiful water front location. Holly, Giorgio and family were beyond hospitable to my friend and I, welcoming us with home baked muffins, a breakfast hamper and homemade sourdough still hot from the oven. You can tell so much love and care has gone into this amazing place. It was exactly what we were looking for - peace and quiet, nature and a beautiful studio to enjoy lots of good food and wine in. We miss it (and Lulu!) already and would love to come back. Thanks for a great weekend.

I had a couple of days here by myself and really loved it. There were so many beautiful spots to sit and read overlooking the water. I really enjoyed eating out on the balcony and watching the birds in the morning. The hosts were great, and left a fantastic basket of fresh hen eggs, bread, fruits, spreads, and some delicious blue cheese! And, although I’m not a dog person, I made good friends with their lovely dog. Take the hike up to the top of the hill, the view is amazing, and if you’re as lucky as me, you might see an echidna. It’s just a short trip out of Sydney, but you really feel like you’re a world away.

Lovely place to relax and enjoy the bush! We had a great time Drinking beers around the fire with the dogs Ideal if ur keen on camping and the out doors Communication with Kate was great and she helped us out with a late check out x

Such a great little place. Really enjoyed my night there. Kate's communication is prompt and thorough. Definitely with a couple days if you love off the grid living.

The cabin is simply bliss ... a premium camping experience (yet to have power or water) in private lush bush land . The cabin is equipped with all the camping essentials for your stay and for cooking need's - gas stove top , utensils etc... If you are someone who appreciates antiques and vintage furnishings , beautiful ceramics and quality bed linen (duck down dooner and white waffle weave covers) you will find Kate's place heaven !! We were lucky to be the first guests at the cabin and we are looking forward to visiting again in the future . Thank you for having us Kate !!

Beautiful place to stay

It's a great place, superb views. We had a good relaxing time.

Beautiful apartment with wrap around views of the river from the great open plan living room and from the lovely deck. Fantastic place for a getaway. Judy laid on all the possible info you could want as well, so thanks again!

This a beautiful house with a stunning view of the river. Everything is well set up for a comfortable stay. Judy sent us copious notes about the hiuse and surrounds to make sure we enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful peaceful spot! We had a great time relaxing and admiring the view in front of the fire. The house was cosy and well equipped.

Lovely house right on the river of the Hawkesbury. Easy to get to and great communication from Judith. Granny flat underneath + 2 bedrooms upstairs. Between Spencer and Wiseman's Ferry so easy for hiring boats/ getting supplies and the pub! Would recommend. KX

Amazing location, amazing views. Judy's place was exactly what we were after. Remote while in reaching distance from Sydney, relaxing and absolutely beautiful.

Nice little river house for our weekend away, fireplace was amazing.

Beautiful secluded spot, fantastic scenery with spacey, clean accomodation. Would stay again.

This is a fully equipped house in a picture postcard position on the Hawkesbury River. The view from the lounge room is stunning, the sun sets over the mangroves on the far side of the river. Access to the house is by a short boat trip in the provided tinny, which is great fun. They tell me there are plenty of fish in the river, but clearly they were all too smart for me.

this is an absolutely beautiful, get-away-from-it-all cottage. The boat ride is less than 5 mins, very easy to manage and navigate and the view is breathtakingly beautiful - just you and water. Very lovely, quiet, peaceful. If you love fishing, it is perfect; if you just want to silence, no reception, no devices - this is your place! Weller was perfect - prompt with information, advice and guidance. Beautiful weekend away!

Excellent. It was lending exactly what we needed. Great location, great value for $. I highly recommend 'The last resort'. We're already planning the next trip.

Waking up to a beautiful riverside view, peaceful throughout the day and night. Great fishing locations found using the tinny available. Wishing I could have stayed longer!

Our stay at The Last Resort was great. The house was exactly as advertised, a well loved house right on the Hawksbury River among secluded hamlet of Marlow. The boat-access was challenging at first (Arriving after dark not recommended), but once we were settled into the house the riverfront position was fantastic. We very much enjoyed using the included boat to put up and down the river, for both fishing and trips to the nearby town of Spencer. Reception is limited (including phones, internet and television), however that provided a good excuse to cut ourselves off and enjoy the environment and company instead. All in all, a great location for a quiet weekend away with friends or family. We would definitely be happy to book again.

A beautiful location to stay in over New Years. Having our own boat was a great touch. Weller was very quick with communication.

Wow! What a beautiful, peaceful place to have spent Christmas weekend. Weller provided everything we needed to have a relaxing city break. Days filled with boating, fishing and sun...never mind the amazing views from the balcony. The lovely neighbours have all the fishing advice to make the most of your stay. We will definitely be back, three nights was not enough! Highly recommend the Last Resort.

Everything was perfect. Accommodation is great, peace and quiet with great views of the countryside but not too far from the city. We stayed for 3 weeks and we were sorry we had to move on. Lovely scenic drives in the area next to the Hawksberry River and close to the Blue Mountains. Stuart and Karin were great hosts, respecting our privacy but always there when we needed some help. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a country retreat not far from the city.

The place is off the main road in a bush setting and is an amazing house, however it is too close to the host house. I would have given it a great rating if there was more privacy from the host house (ie main bedroom windows faces host house). Having said that, the kitchen is large with modern appliances, good size rooms, and well looked after house with lots of sun light.

A great few days in the most scenic location with wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay in their gorgeous cottage so memorable. We highly recommend this lovely rural Airbnb. Stuart has created a spacious modern retreat that was such a pleasure to use as our base for exploring.

We loved our stay in Sydney! Stuart and Karen were the perfect hosts- respectful, welcoming and accommodating. The house was beautiful, clean, modern and inviting. We could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for having us and we hope to be back soon. Millie and Pete

My partner and I had a wonderful country getaway from the hustle and bustle of Sydney at this wonderful cottage in South Maroota. Sitting out on the deck overlooking the national park with the winter sun shining on us, it was hard to believe Sydney city was just 70 minutes away! What a breathtaking vista for our morning coffee and our sunset vino and cheese platter! The hosts, Stu and Karen, are incredibly warm and generous hosts welcoming you from the moment you step onto their property until you leave. They respect your privacy but are there when you need any advice on the local surrounds. They are such fun loving people that you will want to share a coffee or wine with them! The actual cottage itself has been newly built with all the latest and greatest gadgets so there is really nothing you need to bring with you except your own catering but even then, the coffee and tea is supplied. The cottage is spacious but still really cosy and the reverse cycle aircon kept the cottage toasty on the coldest nights. South Maroota is a good location to do a few day trips from this base. We can recommend a day trip visiting Ebenezer church (have the tea and scones), the Purple Noon Gallery and then 3 local wineries (Bull Ridge Estate, Tizzana Winery and Jubilee Estate). We had a delicious antipasto platter at Tizzana Winery. We also loved going to the local River Oak Golf Course and taking a golf cart around the estate full of roos! We enjoyed a pizza and the microbrewery beer at nearby Stone Brew Café. Wisemans Ferry and St Albans (including the Settlers Arms Pub) are a delight to visit. So many wonderful places to go in and around the Hawkesbury River and from a comfortable cottage base with the hostesses with the mostesses! Thank you Stu and Karen. We will be back and will definitely recommend your cottage!

This is a modern spacious place, comfortable, and great for cooking. There are some great views of the Blue Mountains and pleasant forest around. It's about 1km from the main road, and very quiet. Great place for a relaxing weekend away from the big city.

Perfect for a family retreat. Amazing views and the host was supportive. Must visit place in South Maroota!

Would recommend. In the bush, close to friends we were visiting, not far from Sidney. Bumpy road leading to Cottage, so would recommend a bigger car if you hire from the airport or one with good suspension! Beautiful views, very relaxing after busy days out, home from home. Very clean. Lovely powerful shower. Would stay again.

Faith is the most wonderful and friendly host, we were greeted on our arrival and made feel so at home. Faith had thoughtfully provided fresh fruit, juices, breakfast items and bread; a wonderfully stocked fridge. The accommodation was clean, fresh and very private with a well appointed modern kitchen with all the cooking things we needed, and a barbeque just outside was perfect. The bathroom was great with a fantastic shower and the bed was really comfortable. The parking was undercover right next to the front door, a gas heater and reverse cycle air-con, and rural/bush views, all such a pleasant surprise! We couldn't recommend Faith more highly and will look for an opportunity to stay again!

Faith greeted us and went above and beyond to ensure had everything we needed and more. Very clean. Really comfy bed. Highly recommended.

We came back again! Faith is such a wonderful host, we could not want for more, a great place with a serene and beautiful outlook!

From the little vase of Jonquils to the well stocked kitchen this cottage was a delight. Faith is a classy host; amiable, helpful and interested, but not nosy or annoyingly ever-present. Everything an ordinary guest might need was provided so it was easy just to unpack and relax. In the fridge--bacon, eggs, muffins, butter, milk, sauces, water. In the pantry-- pasta, olive oil, onions, herbs, sea salt, ground pepper. Also, good pans, decent knives, responsive oven and spotless benches. Best sleep I've had for years in a comfortable bedroom overlooking the billabong (water hole) Books to read, good TV reception, close to a great coffee shop and located in historic countryside near the river. Free ferries transport your car, you and your early morning coffee across the misty waters and then away you go on one of the many, many beautiful drives around the Hawkesbury River. Very reasonable cost considering the amenities, the location and the niceness of the host. Hot water pressure is good. Lots of towels and clean sheets. Plenty of spare blankets and fruit trees Cant' think of anything negative and I hope I get the chance to stay again Faith even made a pot of marmalade from her own home-grown fruit which I'm looking forward to for tomorrow's breakfast Enjoy your stay

Faith's place was fine-it's a basic building but it has everything you need and a lovely setting. She kindly took the booking at very short notice but communication was fantastic despite her being out at work at the same time.

Faith's place was an excellent getaway from Sydney. Close by, only an hours drive, yet so peaceful and scenic. The bed was so comfortable with 5 star sheets and towels. Thought I was at the Shangri la at Abu Dhabi. The canoe ride in the morning was great. The bush walks near by was spectacular.

Faith is the best airbnb host we've ever had. She was super easy to communicate with, went out of her way to settle us in, making sure we made the best of our short weekend stay. The local area is also lovely and very peaceful-- a nice break from the city rush. There are fruit orchards in the winter and plenty of horses to see too. Faith's place is also really cute, perfect for 2 people. Her dog Winnie is also the sweetest. Basically, it's an awesome place-- definitely would come back!

Faith was a fantastic host. She gave us many informations about what to do near her place. The apartment was full equiped, the bed was very confortable and we appreciated the beautiful environment and we saw a lot of kangooroos :-)

Was a great stay with a great host

We had a wonderful stay here. Really new and tastefully decorated. The kitchen looking out over the river is beautiful. The balcony is a great feature. Great location in wise mans ferry too. You can walk to the shops and restaurants. Yvette went out of her way to help us. Just bliss!

The location and aspect were superb. It is a great place for a group gathering, with the house finished to a high standard and well appointed for self catering. The birdsong and generally peaceful environment made for a very relaxing stay. Would come again for sure.

The place was amazing! It has a large deck looking straight out over the river. The place was very modern with large bedrooms and a large living/dining/lounge room. Communication and booking with Yvette was a breeze. Will definitely come here again.

Excellent house, new, quiet spot on the river. Yvette was very helpful with great communication.

Awesome place - very comfortable for two families of 4. Great views of the river, close to mandarin picking, everything you need for a lovely weekend.

Yvette was a very helpful and accommodating host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cubby house! The view from the house was amazing and balcony was perfect for an evening drink. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a great time in a modern comfortable home.

Modern and clean with nice views. Spacious room, bed was really comfortable. Kitchen has everything you need, nice bathroom with a big shower.

Sadie place is a lovely comfortable room as part of a 2 bedroom granny flat on the property. It is a very peaceful location and is really convenient for anyone wanting to spend some time exploring Berowra Waters and the surrounding area. Hosts were lovely and welcoming and the kitchen is adequate to cook up your meals.

All round a perfect stay! Secluded and private with plenty of activities to keep you busy. Can't get any closer to nature and the river!! The house is very spacious and the property is beautiful. Short drive to wisemans ferry. Would stay again in a heart beat.

Jeff's Place was something amazing. We were 4 of us plus our 2 dogs and we had a wonderful time. We will definetely come back as soon as we have some free time.

Fantastic location! The property was superb and we loved the house and particularly the spa. It was perfect for the boat and the kids. Very relaxing!

Great location for a secluded quiet stay.

The place is absolutely beautiful with great views of the river from the house. The house is very comfortable. We enjoyed all the outdoor activities like kayaking, rowing and golf and used the pool and spa . Lots of board games and the snooker table is a great addition. The kitchen is small and there is no disheaher but we cooked on the Bbq outside and didnt mind doing the dishes as we soaked up the views. All in all a fantastic place to relax and have some fun with family and friends.

Jeff was always helpful

Lovely place to relax and unwind. Magnificent view from the deck. Excellent sauna and jacuzzi.

Very quiet and scenic. Somewhat rustic and secluded. Arrive while light to assist finding. Take food - Wiseman's Ferry is closest shopping. We were glad we had a cooler and supplies. Wished we'd remembered cooking oil and our own pillows. Bed comfy. Nice great room with billiard table - gave us room to spread out. Really appreciated that it was dog friendly so our whole family could come.

The view and outdoor space is great. Make sure you bring outdoor equipments for the kids to use on the river or backyard. Thank you Fiona for going out of your way to make this trip enjoyable for the kids.

A beautiful space, super comfy bed & Jane gave great tips on where to go for sightseeing. Would definitely come back.

See prior comments.

Thanks Jane, Beautiful home with worlds friendliest cat. We had a lovely time.

Jane was a great host and kind her cat so friendly.I really loved her house have many inspiration for decor my house.Yes i'll be back for river tour and spend time in wonderful place many many thank you Jane :)

Great host and location. Lots to explore or just chill

Jane's place was amazing and Jane was very very nice as well. Love the place and all those decorations. Very very comfortable place. Pity that I was only there for a business trip. I will definitely stay here again next time and recommend it to everyone else.

Jane's place is in beautiful Mooney Mooney, a great base from which to explore Brooklyn and the Central Coast. The house is roomy and airy, with lots of wood and glass, and a yoga studio and a pottery. Jane is a lovely host who welcomed us with a bottle of wine. The bed was comfortable, the room was private and the location is quiet.

Space is beautiful. Location is quite and remote with no taxi service aside from water taxi. Jane was very accommodating. she even plucked some greeneries from her garden to provide us with a salad with our dinner. It was a great escape from the city and it was exactly what we needed.

What an amazing host and accommodation. We absolutely loved our time here, the accommodation was absolutely perfect but Wendy's hospitality was above and beyond. Making us feel warm and welcome. Can not recommend them more highly.

Amazing place, amazing hosts, very quiet, spectacular views, clean and comfortable house, fireplace! I want to come back :) Thanks Wendy and Ray!

Ray and Wendys place is brilliant. The cottage is spacious and very well equipped and clean and suited our needs perfectly. The bush land area is beautiful and serene and Ray and Wendy were the friendliest and most helpful hosts we have ever experienced. We did not want for anything and enjoyed the fireplace in the cold evenings and the privacy the cottage provided. We will stay again.

Wendy and Ray were wonderful hosts. They made me feel so welcome and gave me plenty of privacy throughout my stay. If you are looking for a quiet place to stay in rural Sydney then I recommend Rivergum Cottage.

The cottage is in a stunning location, just next to the main house but separate enough to feel you have privacy and isolation. Inside, the cottage has everything you need- a fully equipped kitchen, bath (which was a luxury for me!) air con, DVD player, comfy sofas, washing machine. The views from the bedroom and dining room are amazing- out over the garden and bush, and sitting on the verandah was so relaxing! We cycled around the area a lot and it is a lovely area, I definitely recommend a visit to 'tractor 828' cafe- which had probably one of the best breakfasts we've ever had! We would definitely recommend Ray and Wendy's place!

This is the perfect place for a quiet get a-way from the city.

A lovely tranquil place to stay with very helpful and nice hosts.

Secluded spot away from everyone. Great value!

We stayed at this property for one day and we had the most amazing time at the property which is very beautiful , it has massive acre of scenic environment around the house to explore around . The house itself is very amazing it was very big house with fully equipped with quality chosen props. The pool and BBQ facilities made this property perfect getaway . Thanks to amazing welcoming hosts which were so nice and friendly . Will defiantly spend time here again at this unforgivable property .

The host canceled this reservation 43 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Check in and out was very easy. We arrived to be greeted by Jackson, a very cute and friendly dog. The rooms are comfortable. Living area is spacious and has board games, books etc to make it homely. The home is beautifully decorated. Gary was kind enough to help us light a fire i the fireplace to warm the house at night. We had no problems. The whole family including the kids had a great time.

Elaine and Gary's house is beautifully furnished and the beds were a dream to sleep on. However the description of the home was a little lacking. Firstly, the house is subdivided into two, the second half shared by the couple, with paper thin walls, so we unfortunately could hear their dinner party next door - a real let down when we had been very explicit that we had come here (as mum's of young kids) for a girls weekend that was just about having a decent nights sleep!! When we contacted Gary at 11pm via phone and text our calls weren't answered and had to resort on banging on the wall. We also had the hosts walking past our windows and driving vehicles up and down the road which meant it wasn't the most peaceful stay. There is also a dog on site, which should be mentioned in case guests have pets. The house itself is very nice and Gary was very helpful lighting the fire for us, but it shouldn't be sold as somewhere to stay for peace and quiet - there might be 6 acres but you're very close to your neighbours!

Our stay at Cherrytree manor was very pleasant. Gary and Elaine were wonderful hosts and their friendly dog Jackson was just too adorable. The tv projector made our movie experience great and the place was clean. Gary and Elaine were nice enough to let us stay a bit longer than the normal checkout time. Would definitely recommend coming here.

Absolutely beautiful stay!! The place is better than the pictures. A perfect place to relax with friends/ family anytime of the year. There is a beautiful fire inside for cosy winter nights or a lovely barbecue area. I would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a chilled out getaway just a short drive from the city. Plus, they have the most gorgeous dog Jackson

Beautiful, quiet house. Perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Beds were super comfortable and the fireplace kept us toasty warm at night. Kitchen is a little small for those who plan on cooking a big meal, but more than sufficient for small group. Thanks again Gary!

The property is more beautiful in person. We had a wonderful stay and would recommend to anyone that enjoys quite weekends away. There was a slight issue with Internet not working but who needs it when you're warming up next to a fireplace.
