Summary: We stayed at the Villa Boathouse for two nights, arriving Friday afternoon and departing Sunday. From the moment we arrived, the stress of city life lifted and we settled into what was a magical weekend. We had a little tinny with an outboard so that did give us the opportunity to explore the area, go for beachside swims and make our way up the river for a lovely lunch. Cocktails at sunset on the deck at the Villa were magic and waking up with the sound of the water lapping against the shore was priceless. Thank you Daniella for letting us share your beautiful and special Boathouse, we will be back for sure, we absolutely LOVED it!

Summary: As a boaty, this place provided not only access to the most beautiful waterway, fish, access to nearby food outlets like the oyster Shed and Brooklyn and much more. The serenity of the villa provided an atmosphere of relaxation and peace with the sounds of lapping water. My wife and I had a most wonderful few days not thinking about what’s happening in the World. Thank you so much and we will definitely be back.

Summary: The Villa Boathouse is located on banks of the stunning Hawkesbury River. Accessible only by river, we took a 15 minute water taxi right up to the Villa’s jetty. Seeing the place on approach was like a dream come true; it looks as beautiful from the outside as it is inside! Thanks to the comprehensive pre-arrival communications from the owners, getting in was easy. They also got us in contact with Michelle who stocked up the fridge and pantry with everything we wanted, all ready to go the second we arrived. The location was amazing; the sunsets here were astonishing. The place is beyond comfortable. We enjoyed it so much we are already planning for our return visit!

Summary: We stayed in the boathouse for 4 nights which was perfect for myself and my hubby. Feels like you are literally on the water. Very well appointed with everything you need. Very comfy bed and pillows. Having access to the shed underneath with pool table, BBQ, Smoker and TV was brilliant for hanging out in the afternoons and evenings. Massive drinks fridge was handy too. The outlook from the villa is beautiful with uninterrupted views of the surrounds. Daniella was awesome to deal with and responded almost instantly to any questions we had. 10/10!

Summary: Excellent hosts, very helpful leading up to the stay. Very quiet and relaxing location, the boathouse cleanliness and presentation was perfect. Spent most of our stay relaxing and fishing. Our only regret was not hiring our own boat to explore more of the area.
