The only thing we can recommend are the beautiful Hawkesbury River surrounds. The second bedroom is claustrophobic, the one with the view unfortunately has a water bed. I'm suspicious of how the 'super host' rating was achieved. While the bedlinens were clean, the bedrooms were dirty (thick cobwebs inside the windows, dirty wardrobe with dead bugs, thick layers of dust), a messy, not particularly clean bathroom (full of personal possessions). I wish I'd paid closer attention to the reviews; you really are not allowed in to the kitchen so have to request tea and coffee - which would have been fine but the first time I timidly asked for tea, in the afternoon, Ann replied "No, I'm busy" (she wasn't), she grudgingly served it later. Our second (texted so as not to interrupt) request one night when Ann was in her office was ignored. It's an island with one cafe that shuts at 4pm so that was it, no tea. We're very low maintenance polite easy-going guests - we offered to bring over any groceries Ann might need (she did: 2 bags of potatoes), cleared the breakfast table after ourselves, swapped the linen on the beds when we changed rooms (the waterbed being noisy and uncomfortable) so Ann wouldn't have to wash two sets of sheets, even though we were paying for two rooms. She interrupted my partner while he was working (neither of us were there on holiday and she knew this) to get help with her computer problems, another time she asked him to help her move something in the garden - none of which we'd mind at all, but some basic civility in return would have been nice. The 'lavish brunch' was a miserly trip back to 1970s Australia (sliced white bread, Cornflakes) at a time convenient to Ann not us (same with dinner). I don't eat ham, so my eggs came with only two tiny slices of tomato, one morning I didn't even get those. Picture a big white plate with two eggs on it. And we could only have fried, not omlette or scrambled. The same stale cinnamon loaf was served every day; we tried it once but without toasting (there was no toaster on the table) it was pretty awful. When the muesli ran out (Ann blamed 'the yauchties' for clearing out the local shop (supermarkets are only a short train ride away and it's not like we were surprise house guests) we were served plain oats. On our first night, Ann went on at some length about squeezing fresh orange juice for breakfast but we were only ever served orange quarters. Other fruit (banana and apple) was only offered a few times, the coffee was weak (barely a cup each), and refills not offered. We paid for dinner on the first two nights (the ferry stops running about 8pm so going to Brooklyn was not a nightly option for us as we had to return by water taxi; the bowling club is only open Thurs to Saturday); it was ordinary. 'Salmon' wasn't the cooked fish meal we expected ($30 a head) but shreds of smoked salmon strewn among a few leaves. We didn't get a salad either night (which you'd kind of expect given all the talk of home-grown vegetables). The unappetising tray of condiments that came out every day at breakfast had seen better days; we didn't open any of the various tired jars. We were not offered the advertised fridge, microwave or coffee maker. One night our dinner was olives and cheese at the wharf, eaten from the packets with cutlery we bought at Brooklyn. It was lovey but access to cooking facilities and utensils would have been good (or had we known we could easily have prepared for the circumstances). We booked and paid for 6 nights but only stayed 5 as it was just unpleasant. Fawlty Towers hospitality. The view from the deck is lovely, the birdlife on the island stunning, the flora gorgeous - but on a small island with very limited food options, you need either access to a kitchen/basic facilities or a host who cares about more than making as much money for as little effort as possible. $1831.15 (plus $120 for two nights dinner) is ridiculous. God knows what the enormous cleaning fee is for.
