With a new and large estate, with over 370 homes being built at North Richmond side of the bridge. Recent news ; apparently they are going to start building the new bridge early 2025 but us locals are not holding our breath on that one. Please choose wisely due to increase in traffic

The Master bedroom is stylish and comfortable. (see photos) It also has a television and an armchair to offer you, your own private space. With a ceiling fan for added comfort on those hot days. Dressing gowns are also provided.

Property quality plus unfortunately the owner was less than inviting and was rather discriminatory in relation to my adult son who is intellectually disabled.

Made us feel at home 🏡
Sandy’s place was a perfect place for us to stay locally while our house had renovations completed. The property is everything as described in the listing and more (including a beautiful entry path) but she also went above and beyond to make sure we had a comfortable homely stay and my kids were happy. Couldn’t thank her enough! Would recommend as a great place to stay if visiting the Hawkesbury!

A hidden jewel
Impeccably clean, spacious, private home. Stunning, bright current styling. Much nicer than photos suggest, which is rare these days. Great attention to detail in little touches around the entire home and also in facilities like barbecue area’s pretty, automatically triggered fairy lights. Each bed has both firm and soft pillows to use. Comfortable, warm. Flexible check in/check out; covid safe. Lovely owner. Great communication. Eager to ensure stay is perfect without any intrusion. Full sized fridge/freezer in clean, full size kitchen with a kitchen island and anything you could want to cook with while there. Located well for trips within the Hawkesbury region or as a base to explore this part of the mountains. Can’t fault a single thing. Looking forward to planning another stay with you.

Brilliant place to stay
The location was great for us, the outside of the property hid the gem of a place to stay - lovely fitout, comfy beds, great amenities and Sandra is the loveliest of hosts. Everything was absolutely lovely and comfortable - cannot recommend this place too much ... just don't book it up too much that I can't get to stay next time I want to visit!! :) Thank you Sandra, I'm sure we'll be back to stay again.

An amazing place to stay
We had an amazing stay here! Sandra was lovely and a very accommodating host! The place was clean and wonderfully decorated, with everything you could ask for! I especially recommend this to anyone attending events at the Sydney International regatta centre, (it was definitely our good luck charm)! Thanks Sandra!!
