Thank you so much for a wonderful stay. We had our tea ceremony here and our family loved it. A great family friendly place, with all the amenities needed. Beautiful bathrooms and a perfect stay.
Located at a picturesque spot on the river with 180 degree views, the home was immaculate. Beautifully renovated with an amazing kitchen, the entire space was really comfortable. The billiards table and fire pit were also huge hit with the family. There was plenty of water skiing and jet boating action to watch on the river out front during the day. We even caught a couple of eels fishing off the pontoon out front at night.

Hi Patsy, so happy you all enjoyed your stay.
Best wishes for the years ahead.
We spent xmas here. The weather was perfect and we had a great time with kids. The place was very clean and we had everything in the house for a long stay.
House was roomy, spacious, private pontoon helped a lot. Little things such as coffee pods, tea, soaps and shampoos and all linen made such a nice difference. We were very happy !
Well set out house and entertaining areas on a beautiful location

Such a great location!
Thoroughly enjoyed the stay at kings view. Amazing location away from it all, boat ramp and pontoon were put to good use. House itself is well appointed and heaps of things to keep the crowd occupied. Instructions etc were very useful and it's a must for us to return to hopefully before too soon.

great place for a relaxing break
We recently stayed at Kings View with 2 other couples.
The house was big and confortable enough for all of us. It is extremely well set up with everything you could possibly need . The furnishings are modern and makes for a very comfortable stay. The views from both floors are beautiful. Loved the early mornings listening to the different sounds of the various birds.Have already recommended Kings View to everyone I have seen since our stay. Great value as well.

Great Sydney Get away for all ages
We have just returned from a weekend stay at the delightful Kings View and are now counting the days until we return.
The home is comfortable and very well appointed accommodating two families with ease. Our group especially appreciated the multiple living and outdoor areas allowing different groups to carry on noisy activities without disturbing those enjoying the views and tranquillity.
Our group had children ranging in age from 14 to 5 and I was concerned that at least one child of the five would be bored – this could not have been further from the truth. With the river on the doorstep the older kids fished and swam while the younger ones played on the large lawn and tyre swing.
Extra bonuses include two large screen TV’s, comfortable and clean couches, BBQ and screened in porch.
Great value for money!!
Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home!

Wonderful time at Kings View
We recently had a wonderful long weekend at Kings View with our 4 adult children and 2 partners. The house comfortably sleeps 8 in 4 bedrooms. Everything that you could possibly need is provided - the kitchen being particularly well equipped. The location is superb - early morning views of the mist on the river were stunning. We ate at the Paradise Cafe, 10 minutes up the river by boat, and the food was great. We had a Woolworths delivery which worked very well - hint: there is very little internet so make sure you place your order before you go!
This is the perfect house in a perfect location for a wonderful getaway - close to Sydney but you feel a million miles from the hustle and bustle of city life. Thank you Larissa for making everything so easy

About the host
Hosted by Larissa Turner
We are a family of 5 that live on the Northern Beaches of Sydney. I grew up skiing one the Hawkesbury and love the area. my children have grown up on the river and have a love for the area, as have many of their friends that have spent a lot of time at Kingsview over the years.
Why they chose this property
The Hawkesbury River is such a picturesque and beautiful part of Sydney. Connecting with nature is what is all about. We love sitting of the verandah looking at the breathtaking view while having breakfast, we then spend the day water skiing, fishing, playing board games or billiards, doing jigsaw puzzles or just relaxing. We then love to move to the river bank of an afternoon with a drink of choice and sit around the fire pit and listen to music and have long chats with family and friends. Its so good for the soul!
What makes this property unique
Kingsview is one of the closest houses to the river. We have a view for 3 kilometres to the north. Almost every room has a view. We are also located on one of the widest parts of the upper Hawkesbury.
