About this property
Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home
Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Dido's Place is a multi-award-winning Hawkesbury family holiday home sleeping up to 11 guests plus an infant, set across 9 exclusive-use acres of peaceful countryside.
Designed especially with families in mind, Dido's Place is more than somewhere to stay. It's a place to slow down, reconnect and make the kind of childhood memories that involve muddy shoes, campfires, curious minds and plenty of "Mum, look what I found!"
Spend your days enjoying nature play, outdoor adventures, veggie picking, fishing and family activities, then settle in for marshmallows around the campfire, a movie in the theatre room or a relaxing soak in the hot tub beneath the stars.
No shared facilities. No other guests. No owners onsite during your stay. The entire property is yours to enjoy together.
Why Families Love Dido's Place: • 9 acres to explore and enjoy • Sleeps up to 11 guests plus an infant • 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms • Hot tub beneath the stars • Dedicated children's playroom • Theatre room for family movie nights • Nature play and nature craft activities • Seasonal campfire and campfire cooking • Veggie gardens with seasonal picking • Fishing in the private dam • Sensory fairy garden and outdoor play spaces • Construction and mining zone • Baby and toddler essentials provided • Gourmet kitchen, BBQ and alfresco entertaining • Starlink Wi-Fi • EV charging available – 15amp, BYO cable • Ideal for two families and multi-generational stays
Created by a Mum who understands the challenges of travelling with children, Dido's Place has been thoughtfully equipped to make family holidays easier. Travel lighter knowing many of the essentials are already here, and spend less time organising and more time enjoying your stay.
While the kids explore, create and play, adults can relax in the hot tub, enjoy a glass of wine around the fire, cook together in the gourmet kitchen or simply soak up the peace of the countryside. Because Mum and Dad deserve a holiday too!
You can easily spend an entire day at Dido's Place without needing to go anywhere.

Dido's Place has been recognised through multiple tourism and business awards and is rated among Airbnb's top-performing homes, with more than 100 five-star guest reviews across our hosting journey. But the recognition we're proudest of is hearing families tell us their children didn't want to leave and that they're already planning their next visit.
Dido's Place isn't simply somewhere to sleep between sightseeing. It's the holiday.
Come for the space, stay for the memories, and leave with the kids asking: "When can we come back?"
