We stayed over the Anzac long weekend just gone, and this place is great. The house is very comfortable and ensuites to both bedrooms is great. Steph, our host, was easy to talk to, replied quickly and was very nice. The view here is awesome and the quietness is great. If you have your own boat. the jetty is fantastic, there is plenty to do and a heap of fishing options. Is also a place where just sitting on the porch, relaxing and watching the world go by is very easy to do. A big plus for us was it being pet friendly so we could bring our dog.

Thanks for the kind words. So glad you had an opportunity to relax and recharge. It really is a magical place. We hope to see you again in the future.
We had a great time looking out over the river and watching the ferries come in with kids and grandparents. Clean, compact, great postion and view. Thoroughly recommend.

Thanks Saul - appreciate the generous review and glad you had a lovely Easter
Waters Edge was the perfect place for unwinding and relaxing for the weekend. The house is beautiful and the wrap around balcony is perfect for sitting out and watching the world go by. The surroundings are beautiful and the beach is only 15 minutes walk. The kitchen is very well stocked and we were able to cook all our meals easily. The house was very clean and comfy and Stephanie was a great host, helping us with any questions we had. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to have a very relaxing break!

Thanks for the lovely review Alice. So glad liked our home and had a great time. We hope to see you again in the future. Steph
Our stay at Waters Egde was fantastic! The house was very comfortable, clean and nicely stocked with everything we needed including board games, beach towels, sun cream and dog bed and towels. The many little beaches and coves along the river made for exciting exploring and many memorable days. The sunsets and views from Waters Edge were absolutely stunning and relaxing on the deck a perfect way to end the day. We took our dog along for the holiday, the property was very secure and he was unable to get out. Steph was a wonderful host and communicated very promptly with us throughout our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and would definitely recommend Waters Edge.

I'm so glad you had a fabulous time and really hope that you will come back and stay with us again.
Our stay at Waters Edge was absolutely marvellous.
Steph, the fabulous host, helped us with arrival, departure and gave us advice on great spots to explore. Her communication was very good.
The property was clean, spacious and very lovely. A wonderful balcony looks out onto the gorgeous waters where we enjoyed sundowners and breakfast. The bedrooms were, again, very spacious with en-suites and queen beds. The cupboards were stocked with games and DVDs ( whole James Bond series!) and we loved playing a bit of classic Monopoly before dinner.
Little Wobby is certainly a central place when exploring the Hawkesbury River. We hired a tinny from Brooklyn Marina ( very good) and drove around with our puppy to beautiful spots to make new memories.
I advise, when staying here, to definitely hire a tinny. We found that Little Wobby was not very expansive and after one short-ish walk to its beach, we knew that hiring a tinny had been a good bet. The Hawkesbury is beautiful and I would absolutely recommend staying here for a family holiday with or without your dog. We were sad to leave this Easter but are most certainly making a second trip back - so much is still undiscovered for us in the Hawkesbury… Thank you heaps Steph!!

Thanks Ursula for your really lovely review. So glad that you had some nice weather over the break, so you got to see the Hawkesbury at its best. Hopefully see you again another time, for more exploring and the rest of the James Bonds ;)
Beautiful spot to relax, read and spend time on your boat.
Water taxi is $50 each way. Great driver and service but expensive.
If you want to eat at restaurants or go for a walk, you will need to hire a birth for your boat. There is only 2 guests spots at the marina. Bring life jackets, water sports fun Water Taxi expensive but very reliable.
Well equipped kitchen. Love the bar seats on the verandah.
We loved Steph’s property. It’s contemporary renovations makes it light and open, but most importantly, places the river in your field of vision at all times. A great place to relax. We loved the walks, small beaches, trips to Dangar and the generous provision of Kayaks. Steph was amazing with the communication, and was super generous with sharing information about the property that piqued our curiosity!

Hi take my advice
The first thing you need to exterminator all the house for courage and spider and they have to clean the house very good before to give it to the people and no blankets enough for sleeping and there is very dirty smelling bad

So sorry for your bad experience. As advertised, this is an Eco property in a natural bushland setting, so some outdoor spiders are to be expected. The home was thoroughly cleaned inside before your arrival. Two fully made up double beds plus 3 additional blankets were provided, in line with the number of people booked to stay. Post stay we discovered vomit in the bathroom drawers and soiled open nappies remaining at the property which may have contributed to the bad smell.
Not too far to travel to find this piece of paradise. Even the rain & cold didn’t dampen our spirits with such a perfect outlook. Steph is a thoughtful host & we received clear communication about the property. Looking forward to returning with hopefully sunshine next time!

Thanks Joanne. Glad you got to enjoy the peace and the stunning views despite the rain. Look forward to seeing you again, hopefully in blazing sunshine! S
Really enjoyed our Easter break here. The organisation was easy with great communication from the owner prior to the stay. The house was clean tidy and really comfortable - with a great balcony and amazing view, right on the waters edge. The perfect place to relax and unwind.

Thanks Joanne. So glad you had a great time. Hopefull we will see you again in the future.
Such a great place to stay. Beautiful view and right on the water. The layout of the house is open, bright and the addition of air con and fans make it cool on those hot days and nights. Steph was a great host, lots of commutation before and during our stay. Thank you!
Love the location & elevation at Water's Edge. Friendly and helpful owners make it a memorable experience with nothing to do but relax and enjoy.
Make the effort & realize how easy life is, just an hour from the city!

Thanks Antony. Glad you had a memorable Christmas. Hope to see you at Wobby in the future.
Beautiful view and so relaxing. The kids spent most of their day on the supplied Kayaks and we could watch them and relax from the huge balcony overlooking the water and the mountains. The house is very clean and has everything you need, all we had to bring was the food we wanted. We loved the fact that our dogs could stay and have fun as well and come with us on lovely walks on the bushtrail to the nearby beach. At nightime the sky is the most magical sight you will ever experience, it was so peaceful and the stars shone so bright. Thank you for giving my family and I the best holiday we've had in a while. We'll definitely be back in the future.
