Family-friendly holiday rentals in Hawkesbury City Council

The Lodge is the perfect place for a getaway with your family or friends. Jane is an amazing host and everything is as described and shown in the photos. Great location with peaceful surroundings. The beautiful Colo River is only a couple of minutes walk away. Shame we didn't get a chance to swim as it was cold, however will definitely be back during summer to make use of it!

This stay is by far one of the best Air B&B stays I’ve ever had. Went for a peaceful getaway and it was perfect. Andy was the most attentive host and his property was beyond beautiful and pristine. How he keeps the entire 3 acres this perfect is beyond me. The location, on the edge of a huge gorge had the best views ever! We enjoyed his stunning rock pool that looked like it was cut straight out of the natural, huge rock formations in the area. We ate outside almost every night in the beautiful garden area. Even made a small bonfire and just enjoyed the night. I cannot recommend Andy’s cottages more. We will for sure be back soon!

Such an amazing spot - would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a quiet and tranquil getaway from the city. Paige and Blake were very accommodating and generous, being on hand to help with a couple of questions we had. The home is so cosy and well appointed - had absolutely everything we needed and more. The fire place was so nice in the cold weather and the spa was lovely. Beds were extremely comfy too. Everything was perfect.

Had such a wonderful and much needed restorative weekend in this beautiful pocket of the world! Would love to call it home. Perfect way to switch off. Elizabeth was an excellent communicator and provided plenty of information. Nothing was too difficult for Col and he was also able to help us get around and the like. Much appreciated!

Eleanor is an exceptional host with the most who went above and beyond our expectations. The communication and information about the property and surrounding activities was very informative and helpful. She made us feel incredibly welcome and went above and beyond to ensure all our requirements were fulfilled. The location was pristine and the property felt like it was a home away from home. We had an amazing experience and highly recommend you book this beautiful home. Thank you again Eleanor and Cameron, you both made our celebrations extra special and we are so so grateful!

Attended with my brother and family and friends for a guys weekend trip before my wedding, had a very pleasant time. The place is amazing, during the winter it was cozy and quiet and the fire pit was great to sit around and chill. Spa is phenomenal and surroundings are very nice. Locals in St Albans were very hospitable, good coffee there 4 mins away and some great fishing spots around wisemen's ferry. Also around the house is a top area for a morning run or bike ride. Lewis was very responsive and helpful we went up during heavy rain and he was monitoring our time and helped us with directions and flood updates. Definitely would do it again in the summer.

My friends and I had a lovely stay at Cornwallis House! The house and surroundings were spacious and clean. Bedrooms and bathrooms were also large. Kitchen was well stocked, and also clean. Made the use of the outdoor hot tub! Would definitely recommend this place!

Had an awesome stay! The place was super cozy and perfect for a big group—so much to do! We loved the wood-fired pizza oven, the hot tub was a total hit, and the zipline brought out everyone's inner kid. Everything was pretty damn clean, and having two fridges was a lifesaver. The tiny houses were well-equipped and comfy—only one didn’t have electricity, but it didn’t bother us. Would definitely come back!

It’s a great place for relaxing with friends, where is not far from city ,very quiet and peaceful. We very enjoyed the wood fire in the yard and also walked down along greens Rd ,drove around mountains roads and met cute animals.

Fiona’s place is the perfect escape from Sydney. Within an hour you feel miles away. The cabin is cosy and charming, the surrounds so so peaceful and private. Highly recommend a visit and can’t wait to return. Thank you again!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at John and Peter's cottage! We can't believe this piece of paradise is just a short drive from Sydney! John and Peter are friendly and helpful. We loved exploring their property, sitting in front of the fire, reading on the sunny bay window, and having a soak in the tub. We are already looking forward to coming back. Our little dog had the best stay, too! This was the perfect place for our babymoon. So nice to soak up the slower pace, fresh air, and have an uninterrupted sleep.

We loved staying at Kate’s place. Very convenient for attending a wedding close by, the space was perfect for multiple guests getting ready. Surroundings extremely peaceful and beautiful- thanks Kate!

Very few places exceed my expectations, the Mud Brick Hut was one of them. I was looking for something private ✅ quirky ✅ with a fire ✅and bath ✅. You feel like you are a million miles away, where in fact. 15 minute drive has you in Nth Richmond. It was raining, we loved the space so much we didn’t want to leave. We spent hours around the fire playing guitar, and then raided the games and spent an afternoon playing chess! Fiona’s place. Is rustic and full of charm and stories. The upstairs loft space is huge- with comfy bed and quality linens. Fiona is super nice, helpful and just lovely host . The little town of Grose Vale is cute and I would love to explore more one day. I definitely would recommend The Mud Hut. Thankyou Fiona!

We had a beautiful stay here. A great location, you feel really relaxed and away from the hustle and bustle. Hot tub was a wonderful addition. Highly recommend for those looking for a nice relaxing getaway

Leigh and her place was just stunning calm surroundings easy place to lose yourself and forget what the time is. Leigh was tremendously helpful, to the point of putting a rose on our bed and freshly cut flowers from her own garden. The grounds, pets and animals are all so beautiful. Easy to see why everyone wrote in the guestbook that they were planning on a return visit. Thanks Leigh

Gorgeous place to stay. The views and scenery is heavenly, the home is so beautiful and welcoming. An absolute dream home. I highly recommend staying at this property it’s definitely worth the experience.

We stayed at Madison Mountain Retreat for one night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anne was very friendly and made us feel welcome. The highlight was of course the alpacas, Anne invited us to the feedings and answered all our questions about these sweet animals. We even had the chance to see a baby born just 20 minutes beforehand, very cute. Let’s not forget the goats, also cute. Our kid loved it. The cottage itself was comfortable, as described, and we managed to squeeze in a swim at the pool. Would recommend, thanks Anne :)

Stayed there with two 12 yo kids. Fantastic place, lots of fun. I especially enjoyed the logburner. ;-)

Anne is a superb and lovely host! We had an amazing time there. The place was very cozy and comfy! Great place for a relaxing getaway! Feeding the alpacas in the morning was a delightful moment! ♥️

it was one of the most beautiful places I have stayed around Sydney. away from all the hustle and bustle of Sydney.. yet not too far from the city. no mobile network was such a great add-on. however wifi worked fine most of the time. Kate was kind enough to give us late check out which made our day a bit more relaxed and fun. the pool and firepit area were great too. overall we enjoyed the place alot.

We had a wonderful weekend away with our friends (4 couples in total). The quiet, peaceful surrounds of the hills were just amazing. A fantastic view over the valley and all the way to the ocean is breathtaking. Four king size beds and separate rooms, all nice, neat and very comfortable. Even though there were 3 other parties staying on the property, we didn't even hear them. The IGA is a short 5-7 minute drive up the hill. There are also a few food delivery options if you want to stay in. Breakfast was fabulous... oooohhh those pastries ❤ We will definitely come back.

Steve was a great host, generous and helpful. The church is even more magic than the images, and so spacious. Will be returning or another stay soon for sure!
