Mark’s house sits fairly high up on Dangar Island with a lovely easterly bush outlook to the water. It is a large, stylish, comfortable and generous space to relax in with a wood fire, large TV and good internet connection. There were fresh flowers, a nice bottle of wine and wood for the fire - thoughtful and generous - we don’t imagine it’s an easy thing to keep firewood supplies up when everything comes in by buggy or wheelbarrow. With Mark’s instructions it was easy to arrive by ferry from from Brooklyn, it’s only a 15-minute trip, and you can book the island buggy service or walk your luggage up to Riverview Ave by wheelbarrow if you are feeling fit! Dangar is a picturesque, accessible, small island in the Hawkesbury with a great cafe on the water and a little bowling club kept going with the help of Dangar’s residents that offers dinner Thurs to Sat, lunch on Sunday and occasional live music. If you have never visited the Hawkesbury, Dangar Island is a great place to start.
