Sunlit Riverfront Escape // Hawkesbury

This light and airy property is a dream for nature lovers and those looking to escape the hustle of the city. This idyllic home opens up to a sweeping verandah, with a lush lawn rolling out to a jetty for easy access to the Hawkesbury River. Classic interior decor reminiscent of seaside holidays and traditional Australian architecture creates a true ‘home away from home. You’ll love the ease of access to the Hawkesbury River, with jetty access allowing you to boat, fish, and jetski to your heart’s content. The wide verandah is perfect for entertaining, with a BBQ provided, as well as full kitchen facilities for you to cook to your heart’s content. Walking distance to Brooklyn Oval, with a playground and plenty of wide open spaces for a summery picnic, or afternoon stroll. The 3 bedroom property features 2x queen sized beds, and 2x king single, with each room, fitted out with modern decor and high quality bed linen. There is a full service kitchen, with a gas cooktop and oven, dishwasher, fridge, and a few more creature comforts (like a coffee machine, perfect for you to sip a morning brew overlooking the water). The built in laundry hosts a washer and dryer, in case you need to wash while away. There are two bathrooms in the property, with the master bathroom featuring a spacious bath. The gem of the space is truly the communal space, with an open plan living and dining area occupying the back of the house, facing the large sliding windowed doors to the backyard. A crackling fireplace makes the perfect gathering place for brisk winter nights while opening the doors out to the backyard allows a summer breeze to cool down your evenings. We generally give you space during your stay but if you need us just give us a call and we gladly assist you with anything you need over the phone. The gateway to Hawkesbury, Brooklyn is surrounded on every side by either the river or rolling hills, so everywhere you look is sure to be a picturesque contrast to home. You’ll be boating the Hawkesbury River one day, and strolling through lush walking trails the next. There are a variety of facilities to hire kayaks, boats, and everything required for many other water activities. The area is known for seafood (as it was previously a fishing port!) and the local fare reflects this, with a range of restaurants and cafes to suit all tastes. The community is heavily family oriented, with an emphasis on maintaining local parks and facilities for the enjoyment of all. By train, Brooklyn is an hour from Sydney and is even less if driving. The area is steeped in history, and the Visitor Centre is a great place to start, as they will be able to provide you with information on the historic significance of many of the local landmarks. Although Brookyln is a small town, we would recommend having access to a car if you are staying at the property, as there are limited public transport options in the area. This will also allow you to explore the local area, and get to know the truly beautiful scenery in the surrounding region.
