The Boatshed is AMAZING - for SO MANY REASONS! Firstly, if you are a couple based in Sydney living the rat race and are craving a relaxing & romantic river-meets-the-bush weekend getaway, this is THE PERFECT - I repeat - THE PERFECT place for you! If you are a tourist looking to experience a less touristy & more tranquil slice of the countryside, forget the Blue Mountains, stay at The Boatshed and marvel as native birds come to the front door and say hello! Staying at The Boatshed felt like striking upon gold. My husband & I cannot recommend Barbara and Glenn as hosts enough. They were kind enough to lend us their kayak for a paddle around the island, fishing gear and also baked us muffins - no Air Bnb host we've ever had has gone to such lengths! I recommend arriving to The Boatshed via water taxi to get your weekend getaway off on the right foot (Barb will kindly give you the details of the water taxi driver in advance). Bring a bottle of wine, sit at the end of the private jetty, marvel at the beautiful Hawkesbury river and get ready to have that relaxing & romantic weekend getaway you've been dreaming about!! I can't thank you enough Barbara and Glenn!
