DESCRIPTION
Back in 1935 there were just 6 dwellings on the bend of the Hawkesbury River called Bar Point. One of these was Amaroo Cottage. In those days the river cottages were set slightly back from the river with a boatshed located at the waters edge.

All the original buildings still exist at Amaroo and have been faithfully restored by the present owners. French doors from the main cottage lounge and master bedroom open onto a large verandah that captures the morning light all year round. The newly renovated kitchen blends perfectly with the pot belly stove that is recessed in the original stand stone kitchen wall.

A gas barbeque is ideally located on the lawn by the waters edge. The outdoor garden table, studio deck and private boatshed are perfect settings for afternoon drinks before retreating to the cottage terrace for sunset dining. Amaroo offers complete relaxation by the river.

Arrive midweek by mail boat, or water taxi, own boat, runabout during weekends. Jonathan or Mary - tel - can advise on catering & any restaurant excursions that you may want to plan.

What to do

Staying at Amaroo Cottage is mostly about doing nothing.There are however a couple of fishing rods, a great collection of books, magazines & board games to keep you occupied. A stereo, small TV & video are also in place.

For those who wish to explore further afield, we suggest you contact Justin on to arrange hire of a "tinny" with a 6 HP outboard. Justin will provide a map and give you plenty of advice on the best spots to visit and the most likely places to catch fish.

Arrive by mail boat (midweek), water taxi or your own boat. Please feel free to contact Mary or Jonathan - - to discuss any further issues.

What to bring

Food & Beverage
Toiletries
Favourite CD's & Videos
Hooks, bait, sinkers ... for those keen to fish

Guest Reviews

 
  • "a pretty cottage with a beautiful sense of peace and calm - artful touches throughout the house and garden - little joys to discover and the well stocked kitchen even made self catering a treat!"
    Robyn, June 2008
     
  • "A really lovely, homely weekender. We can recommend the boat shed for having a drink and watching the water in the afternoons. Despite the almost constant rain, we still had fun and would highly recommend it."
    Deborah, December 2007
