My wife and came up from Sydney, looking for a weekend getaway that was going to be far removed from our everyday, without being a hassle to get to. Being serviced by public transport (as well as water taxi if you prefer), Dangar Island was a great choice.
The Boatshed had everything one would need for such an excursion; not a full house, but much better than a hotel room. Honesty, the space was just about as perfect as you’d want for a short (or even extended) stay. Not only was it clean, quiet, private and supremely comfortable, but some extra touches made it well worth the trip. We were able to do some hiking, a little kayaking, cook our meals in a full-service kitchen, and even relax to some board games on a rainy night, while watching the lightning across the water through the large sliding doors that offered stunning views of the river.
Our hosts helped us settle in before we even got there, with prompt and valuable communication, offering tips and insights as well as answering any queries we had.
The only reason I rated it “A little better than expected” instead of “Much better than expected” is because the listing was presented so wonderfully, we had high expectations going in, which were of course exceeded a little by the attention to detail, thoughtfulness of the host and just an overall great experience on the island.
A highly recommended choice, and we’ll hope to visit again.
