About this property

Sandy's Place offers a cosy, comfortable tranquil retreat in lovely Agnes Banks

To those planning to visit the Hawkesbury or the Blue Mountains. I'd like to extend a warm welcome. G'Day, I'm Sandy, your Host

Located just 3.5k from the heart of Richmond, Agnes Banks maintains a rural residential character and offers a tranquil retreat. This charming, self-contained holiday haven provides the perfect peaceful getaway, allowing you to unwind far from the noise and crowds.

Sandy's Place is a perfect relaxing getaway for couples or families and ideal accommodation for Corporate and Blue-Collar Workers. Long Term and Short Term bookings are welcome

If you enjoy peace and quiet, then this is the place for you. Take an early morning stroll - then head back home for a delicious cup of coffee, a nice selection is provided. Or if your preference is tea, a nice selection of tea is also provided

Or cook up a breakfast in your fully equipped kitchen or a short distance away are great cafes offering a variety of cuisines to indulge in a delicious breakfast or lunch.

Experience the best of both worlds in Richmond! Located just 5 minutes from local shops, polo clubs, the university, and the RAAF Base, convenience is right at your doorstep. Plus, you’re perfectly positioned for a quick trip to Penrith or a scenic drive up the mountain to Katoomba’s breath taking Three Sisters lookout.

I will include some personal photos taken recently of the Three Sister's and a wonderful moment experiencing a Pink Moon. Also the Sydney Zoo which I would definitely recommend, and is only 30 minutes away (photo's are shown with consent of the guests)

* The Master Bedroom

* Entertainment: A television with Chromecast capabilities.

Includes a new ceiling fan and a dedicated modem/router providing blazing-fast, unlimited WiFi (537 Mbps download).

For additional comfort, the home has reverse cycle air conditioning which can also be remotely controlled. Kindly use it respectfully bearing in mind the high cost of electricity. Many thanks

'To all International and Domestic medical students'.

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.

My Dear Debby and Greg Thank you so much for your lovely Review. I've got tears in my eyes. You don't realise how much it means to me. If all guests were as lovely as you the World would be a better place. Thank you for staying at Serenity in Agnes Banks (got to give myself a plug lol). You are welcome back any time and I'll make sure you have some of your favorite tea. Needless to say I absolutely recommend Debby and family to any other Hosts

Nadine and her sister were 'the perfect' guests. They treated Sandy's Place with the utmost respect. I wouldn't hesitate, for split second, to recommend them wherever they may want to stay. I look forward to a return visit any time they want to come back to the lovely and friendly Hawkesbury.

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.
