The River House is the definition of a retreat. Do yourself a favour and hire a runabout from the boat hire places at Brooklyn and take a leisurely cruise to Coba Point. It’s really in one of the best locations on the Hawkesbury. The house faces directly north so it gets the best of both sunrise and sunset, and it’s definitely in one of the quieter, more serene parts of the river. It feels a world away from the city with everything you need for a relaxing, secluded stay. As far as the house goes, it’s amazingly styled and decked out with all the amenities you’ll need. There wasn’t anything better then opening up all the doors and windows each morning to listen to the lapping of the water on the wharf and the little private beach. The coffee machine is a great touch and do yourself a favour by lighting up a fire each night. It’s all made better, being completely off the grid.
