Boatshed Bliss!- absolute waterfront

Only one hour from the CBD yet it feels like another world. Watch the sun rise over the escarpment rising above the glorious Hawkesbury River and drift off to sleep to the rhythm of gently lapping waves. Come by ferry, water taxi ( not jet ski) by to our car-free island. Curl up with a book, bushwalk, birdwatch, throw in a line or stroll down to the cafe for coffee. Perfect for writers, artists, boaters, photographers and nature lovers. Recharge and make memories! The space A unique, restored private cabin right on the water. Recent renovations have respected the character of this rustic cabin. The cabin has air-conditioning , a ceiling fan, electric blankets, high quality linen, ensuite bathroom, well-equipped kitchen, with full stove and cooktop, fridge, microwave and other appliances. There is a private balcony overlooking the river and downstairs another large shady deck with deck chairs where you can relax and hang out and a third small deck to the side which is like a little treehouse. Use the jetty if you are bringing your boat or would like to go fishing off the jetty. The cabin is three jetties down from Bradley's beach and a short walk to the Cafe, Bowling Club and main ferry wharf. Ideal for relaxing, swimming, walking, chilling, writing and dreaming. Views you would not believe! You will fall in love with this unique little home - it has a sense of simplicity and everything you need to just live. Enjoy the bush, birdwatching, cloud watching, river gazing and the stars at night! Leave your car on the mainland and take a complete break from your hectic lifestyle. There is one open plan living space with a queen size comfy bed and a basic single size sofa-bed which can be made up to accommodate kids.

The Boatshed has wifi, however the signal strength varies from strong to abysmal. There is no TV but there is a Bluetooth tower so you can stream your music. The Boatshed is a place to unwind, disconnect and tune into the mesmerizing vista of the water and sky and the sounds of the birds, trees and waves. Dangar is a residential island and there are neighbours.
