An idyllic haven, an hour from the CBD, ready to explore | Cottage in Hawkesbury River
3 Bedroom Cottage in Bar Point, Hawkesbury River
We welcome you to experience a journey to Hawksbury River's ultimate getaway, Amaroo Cottage, Boatshed and waterfront Studio all set in beautiful gardens, surrounded by natural bushland. Right on the water's edge, just an hour from Sydney, it is ready to explore.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS PROPERTY CAN ONLY BE ACCESSED BY WATER.
Originally built in the 1920s, this cottage haven, boatshed and studio have been lovingly restored and is the perfect holiday retreat for up to 3 couples or a family with children.
This beautiful accommodation looking out over breath taking views of the Hawkesbury River. Perfect for romantic getaways, baby-moons or family retreats.
French doors from the main cottage lounge and master bedroom open onto a large verandah that captures the morning light all year round.
The newly renovated kitchen blends perfectly with the pot belly stove that is recessed in the original stand stone kitchen wall.
The master bedroom, with a queen size bed, has French doors that open onto the front deck. The second bedroom has 2 single beds. The third bedroom, located in the Studio next to the Boathouse, has a double bed and views over its own deck directly onto the river. Please note, the only toilet facilities are in the main house, therefore this may not be suitable for some people during the winter months.
The newly renovated, well equipped kitchen blends perfectly with the pot bellied stove that is recessed in the original sandstone chimney.
The bathroom, although private, has views over the garden and the second "lou with a view" contains a washing machine and dryer.
A gas barbeque is ideally located on the lawn by the waters edge, sheltered by a pergola covered with giant honeysuckle. Ready to cook your catch from the jetty.
The outdoor garden tables, studio deck and private boatshed are perfect settings for afternoon drinks before retreating to the cottage terrace to watch the sun light up the sandstone in the cliffs opposite and dine. Amaroo offers complete relaxation by the river.
Arrive midweek by mail boat (weekdays only), water taxi, own boat, or a hired tinny. Mary, +61 423118363 or +61 2 99222934, can advise on catering & any restaurant excursions that you may want to plan.
Staying at Amaroo Cottage is mostly about doing nothing. There are however a couple of hand lines, a great collection of books, magazines & board games to keep you occupied. A stereo, small TV & video are also in place.
For those who wish to explore further afield, we suggest you arrange hire of a tinny.
Head over to Peats Bite a fabulous place to dine on the weekends with a pick up and drop off service available to Amaroo Guests.
