Hawkesbury River Hide Out

The Hawkesbury River Hide Out is located at Bar Point and is accessible by boat only. There are NO SHOPS, NO ROADS and NO CARS at Bar Point with the shack set in native bush land only 50 metres back from the Hawkesbury River. You can catch a water taxi from Brooklyn or Mooney Mooney. Spend the weekend fishing off the jetty, canoeing on the river, eating oysters and escaping the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The space The cottage itself is a basic little river shack. It is very charming and has everything you need to enjoy a few days away from the world. We are artists and musicians and live here about half of the year. We enjoy our space being basic, relaxed, eclectic and with a cute vintage charm that fits into the natural environment. We hope you enjoy these things about our place too! There is one bedroom with a queen sized futon bed and the living room has a mattress for an extra guest. The kitchen is fully equipped, minus a dishwasher and microwave. Two items that we don't believe are necessary. The bathroom has a shower and a compost toilet. There is a charming little set of beautiful sandstone steps that are set into a large sandstone boulder. The back yard is full of ancient sandstone boulders and native grass trees. We only have access to rainwater, which has an inbuilt filter and is beautiful to drink, but we ask that you are mindful of water consumption and only use what you need. We have wi-fi but there is no phone reception at the house. There is a landline for emergency and you can get phone reception at the jetty also. We can pick you up in Brooklyn or Mooney Mooney in our boat (you must make prior arrangements for this) or you can catch the Brooklyn water taxi. We can provide further details, just message and ask. Jump off the jetty and swim, bush walk or just sit on the veranda and drink wine and eat the world famous Hawkesbury River Oysters which are available in Brooklyn to pick up before you head over. You will feel like you have stepped back in time at the Hawkesbury River Hide Out and discover that it is the perfect place to relax and let go of the busy outside world. Guest access Guests have access to the whole place and can be picked up in Brooklyn or Mooney Mooney by boat (prior arrangements via message) or catch a water taxi.
