IF YOU HAVE LOST THE ART OF “DOING NOTHING” then you've come to the right place to find it again
Being amongst nature and taking the time to just be, is something that we need to do on a regular basis for our own well-being and health. Whether you are here with your family, friends or partner, just by being here, everything slows down and very quickly, you start to unwind and relax for a few days.
If adventure is more your style, then there’s loads to do to explore and be active in and around the Hawkesbury River. Here are just a few options for you to think about.
• River sports: fishing, kayaking, water-skiing, jet-skiing and boating. • Historic tours: Hawkesbury Heritage Tour, Windsor Heritage Tour. • Adventure: hiking, mountain-bike riding, trail bikes, horse riding. • Bush-walking: convict trail on Old Great North Rd, Devines Hill and Ten Mile Hollow • Farm trails: Hawkesbury Harvest Farm gate trail, Hawkesbury Vegetable Farm. • Visit galleries, museums, country markets and wineries and so much more!
Or, you can do next to nothing staying in: • Sunbathe on the property with or without swimmers - privacy assured (BYO sunscreen)! • Take an outdoor shower among the trees and wildlife! • Take a stroll in and around the property (watch out for kangaroos, goannas and wombats). • Kayak, fish and other water sports from Skeleton Rocks Reserve. • Take a nanna nap after a hearty lunch.

Our family loved having a comfortable stay in a cute cabin in the bush, away from busy connected life. Lots of outdoor fires, staring at the stars (so clear!), wandering in the bush and just lazing musing the day together. Thanks so much!
No WIFI 👍😀 Very relaxing and out off the way everything you need for a great weekend away .
Full stocked kitchen aircon . Great little fire pit out back , wildlife around we had a wombat and wallabies around .
This cabin is a beautiful retreat. We enjoyed our time away and appreciated how well-equipped the cabin was. The only downside is the distance from amenities like supermarkets, requiring a bit of travel, but this is simply due to its remote location. We came prepared with food and essentials, so it wasn’t an issue for us. It’s the perfect spot for someone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. The cabin itself is also stunning, with air conditioning, gorgeous wooden floors, and an overall warm and inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back again. Thank you
It was a beautiful weekend. I was able to sit outside in the sun and listen to the music of Nature - lots of birdsong. The dogs were playing and running and also relaxing in the garden. It was so quiet and peaceful- health restoring. I loved being there.
Bushland Cabin Overlooking the Hawkesbury River Upstream of Wisemans Ferry
This delighful well appointed cabin, complete with paintings of Australian landscapes, is a perfect spot to spend a few days exploring the local area, including the Wisemans Ferry Inn and the Settlers Arms at St Albans and for us, to kayak along the river. The property has shared private access to the river. The cabin is set on a large bushland property which means you can enjoy the solitude, sky and peace all to yourselves with your four legged friend.
Lovely peaceful property. Beautiful views. Spacious bedrooms. No Wi Fi was a blessing as we spent more time connecting with each other. A great time had by all.
Gorgeous property that forces you to simply relax and unwind. Everything you need to stay in and spend quality time with family or friends. Just pure bliss.
A wonderful place to stay and relax.
With no wifi or phone reception (Vodafone anyway) it was great to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet away from the city.
As advised bring all your own food (staples provided) as there is no local shop to pop into should you require something - being pregnant and craving some ice cream I had to go without.
Great place to unplug and recharge.
It's a bit further from the river that we thought, but that was prob our mistake.
The property is very well kept and very comfortable.
