Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home
Welcome to Dido's Place - Your Ultimate Hawkesbury Getaway!
Dido's Place is one of the very few family-friendly accommodations in the area, making it perfect for the kids, grandkids and parents alike.
Nestled on nine stunning acres in the Hawkesbury, our spacious, modern holiday house is designed to be your home away from home, comfortably accommodating up to 11 guests plus an infant with everything you could possibly need from a cot and baby monitor, to fishing rods and marshmallows for the campfire during the cooler months.
The kids will love fishing in our private dam, splashing around in the hot tub, exploring our 9 acre property and playing in the children's room full of toys and activities. Meanwhile the adults can relax on our Alfresco lounge with a glass of wine by the outdoor fire and cook up a storm in our fully equipped kitchen.
Operating for over 6 years on other platforms, we are relatively new to Stayz/Vrbo but have hosted over 90 guests, received consistent 5 star reviews and won the Hawkesbury Business Awards for Accommodation three years running.
Outdoor Adventures:
- Go fruit picking at local orchards
- Enjoy horse riding nearby
- Relax in our large outdoor hot tub under a starry sky
- Roast marshmallows over the campfire
- Have a BBQ on the patio by the outdoor fire
- Go bushwalking
- Try your luck fishing in the dam
- Tire the kids out on the trampoline
- Have a game of cricket, footgolf, croquet, archery and finksa
- Forage in our vegetable patch
- Let their minds run wild at the magic potion stand
- Look, touch, smell and listen in our sensory garden
- Go star gazing with our telescope

- Fully equipped kitchen for family meals

Hi There! My name is Nila and I'm a Mum and I absolutely love hosting! I love helping people plan their holidays and hearing about their incredible stays with us. I always go over and beyond to provide a truly memorable experience for my guests. Being heavily involved with the local tourism industry and community, means I can give my guests the latest and greatest recommendations and service.

What I love about the Hawkesbury is that it's just 90 minutes from Sydney CBD and your amongst the serenity of the Australian bush. We are the food bowl of NSW, rich in Colonial and First Nations history and nature's wonders. Our family love fruit picking, roasting marshmallows over the campfire, fishing in the dam and relaxing in the hot tub. Dido's Place has it all, in the most magical place in NSW.
