IF YOU HAVE LOST THE ART OF “DOING NOTHING” then you've come to the right place to find it again
Being amongst nature and taking the time to just be, is something that we need to do on a regular basis for our own well-being and health. Whether you are here with your family, friends or partner, just by being here, everything slows down and very quickly, you start to unwind and relax for a few days.
If adventure is more your style, then there’s loads to do to explore and be active in and around the Hawkesbury River. Here are just a few options for you to think about.
• River sports: fishing, kayaking, water-skiing, jet-skiing and boating.
• Historic tours: Hawkesbury Heritage Tour, Windsor Heritage Tour.
• Adventure: hiking, mountain-bike riding, trail bikes, horse riding.
• Bush-walking: convict trail on Old Great North Rd, Devines Hill and Ten Mile Hollow
• Farm trails: Hawkesbury Harvest Farm gate trail, Hawkesbury Vegetable Farm.
• Visit galleries, museums, country markets and wineries and so much more!
Or, you can do next to nothing staying in:
• Sunbathe on the property with or without swimmers - privacy assured (BYO sunscreen)!
• Take an outdoor shower among the trees and wildlife!
• Take a stroll in and around the property (watch out for kangaroos, goannas and wombats).
• Kayak, fish and other water sports.
• Take a nanna nap after a hearty lunch.
• Take a picnic hamper down the river.

About the host
Hosted by Maria Nati
Hi there! My name is Maria Nati. Together with my husband Rick, we own and run Riverview Nature Retreat.
We love to getaway regularly to reset and recharge from life's pressures and decided to buy our own place in the country that we could escape to often. We wanted a place that is close enough to home but feels like miles away from it all. A place that is surrounded by nature and wildlife. A place where we can disconnect from all devices so we can engage in conversation. A simple place with all the amenities for a comfortable stay.
We wanted to give this place a vintage Australiana feel to it which we feel is in keeping with the local area and its pioneering history. We have collected a lot of Australian artwork that depicts the bush and homesteads. We also wanted it to feel homely and inviting and have decorated it with that in mind.
We love our getaway home and are happy to share it with you to enjoy with your family and friends.
