what a gorgeous little cottage on the river. really takes you back into nature and considering it's only 1 hr from Sydney, makes you feel quite removed from the hustle and bustle.
this place is perfect if you want to hole up with your food, wine, board games, tv, ipad/laptop, books, your dog and your person and do nothing for the entire stay. the property is fenced for the most part but there are areas the doggoes can slip out and a short fence to the neighbour so if you have an escape artist, not quite the place for you without supervision. our cattle dog Willow doesn't go anywhere without us so she was fine but when we were outside she disappeared under the house then outside the fence fast as anything. came back immediately when we called her but we were surprised she got out.
there are bush walks but they're short and sweet with a nice view at the top but nothing strenuous.
the decor is fabulous and the amenities are super comfy (comfy bed and pillows plus aircon/heating for modern living). the kitchen and pantry are well stocked and all the little extra snacks and food are much appreciated.
some effort is required to get to the property (hiring a water taxi) and walking up a short hill with a moderate incline. it's only a thing because you have all your bags and provisions to carry up. the walk down with lighter food/booze bags isn't bad at all.
the only awkward feature in an otherwise beautiful and functional living space is the tv which is off to the side from the couch and isn't attached to the wall with an extender arm so the viewing angle was a bit trying so it'll be perfect if you're planning to have an electronics-free stay.
