Kalighat River House
1. Kalighat River House
37km from Neutral Bay · 1 site · Lodging
Accessible only by boat, this secluded and lovingly decorated house at Bar Point on the Hawkesbury River, (aka Deerubbin,) is only an hour from the Sydney CBD.
This beautiful Artists retreat is surrounded by nature. You don't have to be an artist to stay with us, but we do offer free boat transfers for artists and musicians. You will arrive by boat and soak up the serenity. Large deck with river views. Located on the waterfront on the Eastern side of Bar Point. Our custom-designed Finnish sauna offers a unique and holistic experience, the combination of heat, dimmed lights, and the smell of cedar or essential oils creates a healing ambience that is both invigorating and comforting.
The house is full of Art, books, games, and DVDs, there is also the 'yoga deck' behind the house with even more expansive views of the river - a perfect place to do some morning meditation or enjoy a bowl of pasta as the sun goes down, highlighting the orange of the sandstone cliffs across the river.
Surrounded by National Parks and completely free of cars and traffic, this is a beautiful little retreat, perfect for a family or a group of friends to meet up and re centre. At Bar Point there are no shops or cafes so you must bring everything you need with you, basic pantry staples such as salt, pepper, cooking oil etc are provided.
Kayaks, fishing poles and crab pots provided.
Our own private residence is a separate apartment upstairs, there are no shared walls or internal stairs and you will have your own private entrance, however as it is a large, old wooden house you may at times hear us moving about upstairs, naturally we try to be as quiet as possible when we have guests visiting. We will leave you entirely to yourselves but if you do need any help or information or even a little guided walking tour of the locality we are very happy to accommodate you. Our sauna deck is a shared area which guests are welcome to use, heating the sauna takes an hour or two, so just let us know and we will get it all ready for you with fresh towels, scented oils and branches of freshly cut lavender or wormwood to create a beautiful ambience.

The Blue Mountains might be famous for clean, mountain air, but in its foothills, it’s also famous for fun, when you check into Ingenia Holidays Nepean River.
Backing onto the Nepean River, the park has accommodation options to suit every format of traveller with both families, couples and sporting enthusiasts making tracks to its Emu Plains location.
With a menu of cabins that range from 2 to 12 guests and cottages, camping and caravan sites in between, there’s plenty of space to settle into holiday-mode at Ingenia Holidays Nepean River.
Sure you could cook in your cabin or the camp kitchen and BBQ facilities onsite, but most choose to explore the Nepean River setting and wander to O’Donoghues Irish Pub, Nutrition Station or the Nepean Rowing Club, all nearby, for a bite to eat.
When you’re not exploring the onsite swimming pool or playground, outdoor-lovers should take note – you’re staying dangerously close to Cables Wake Park Penrith for a fun-filled family day out.
For something at slower speed, the Nepean River calls for fishing with the chance of reeling in your catch for dinner tonight.

Hermitage Cottage Farm in Grose Vale, NSW, is a charming country retreat found at the end of Horan's Lane with over 100 years of history. If you’re craving a peaceful, rejuvenating escape that balances rustic charm with homey comforts—this is the perfect spot.
Radiating warmth and tranquillity, the cottage is surrounded by beautiful gardens, rolling farmland, and even has baby calves grazing nearby - making every moment feel like a step back into simpler, gentler living.
It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind regardless of sunshine or rain—whether you’re curled up reading by the fire, soaking in a warm bath with views over the valley, or simply wandering the gardens with the sounds of nature all around. It’s also an inspiring space to recharge and focus, whether you’re escaping to finish an assignment, for a writer’s getaway, or just slowing down to breathe.
Between the century-old character, the friendly hospitality of John & Peter, the serene setting, and the thoughtful touches throughout, Hermitage Cottage leaves you feeling refreshed, content, and eager to return.
