An Amazing Place to Escape the Real World!

So close to Sydney but worlds away. Rustic and full of character this is a unique property with a real connection to the river, open the boat house doors and there it is! Rest and restore, explore, cook, fish, and sit back and go with the daily rhythm of the river. Communication and information from Jacqui was flawless and the river community is friendly and welcoming. We had a wonderful time and enjoyed stopping, relaxing and reconnecting as a family after an unusual year. Also really appreciated the bonus late departure - thanks! Will definitely be back.
