Richard's cottage is definitely an even better experience than the pictures suggest, very scenic views and lots of comfort. We used the cottage as a unique location for a film production. Richard was extremely helpful in providing local knowledge for ease of logistical preparations. The one trouble my team experienced was unrelated to the location, however, a result of the location's remoteness (only accessible by water). That problem was that the Barge Service cancelled on us due to unexpectedly rough (unsafe) water and wind conditions, which affected schedule on our bump in. You also must not forget anything as it is not practical to run errands if you forget to bring anything with you. Other than this, the film shoot went very well and everyone was excited by the cottage and its views. On another note: the neighbours were incredibly friendly and helpful. It was very easy to make contact with them, liaise with them leading up to the shoot and on the day they were very cooperative on a few requests of ours. The water taxi and barge service operators were also friendly, punctual and cooperative. I would recommend this place and hope to someday return for a weekend holiday to this paradise corner - it really is a hidden gem of Sydney.
