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.

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.

It was a beautiful weekend. I was able to sit outside in the sun and listen to the music of Nature - lots of birdsong. The dogs were playing and running and also relaxing in the garden. It was so quiet and peaceful- health restoring. I loved being there.

Comfy family retreat in nature

Our family loved having a comfortable stay in a cute cabin in the bush, away from busy connected life. Lots of outdoor fires, staring at the stars (so clear!), wandering in the bush and just lazing musing the day together. Thanks so much!

Bushland Cabin Overlooking the Hawkesbury River Upstream of Wisemans Ferry

This delighful well appointed cabin, complete with paintings of Australian landscapes, is a perfect spot to spend a few days exploring the local area, including the Wisemans Ferry Inn and the Settlers Arms at St Albans and for us, to kayak along the river. The property has shared private access to the river. The cabin is set on a large bushland property which means you can enjoy the solitude, sky and peace all to yourselves with your four legged friend.

Beautiful location and cabin

This cabin is a beautiful retreat. We enjoyed our time away and appreciated how well-equipped the cabin was. The only downside is the distance from amenities like supermarkets, requiring a bit of travel, but this is simply due to its remote location. We came prepared with food and essentials, so it wasn’t an issue for us. It’s the perfect spot for someone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. The cabin itself is also stunning, with air conditioning, gorgeous wooden floors, and an overall warm and inviting atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back again. Thank you

Wonderful property

A wonderful place to stay and relax. With no wifi or phone reception (Vodafone anyway) it was great to unwind and enjoy the peace and quiet away from the city. As advised bring all your own food (staples provided) as there is no local shop to pop into should you require something - being pregnant and craving some ice cream I had to go without.

About the host

Hosted by Maria Nati

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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 wellbeing 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. You control the pace of your holiday.

What makes this property unique

Riverview Nature Retreat is the perfect place in the country to relax and disconnect for a few days with friends and family. Set amongst 6 acres, it is very private and feels secluded and surrounded by nature and wildlife.
