Our property contains the first road in and out of Colo - the original road is supported by hand built dry rock walls some of which are over 3 m high. Often referred to as convict built, but more likely built by freemen who were former convicts.
The property housed the load master's residence who controlled the cargo boats that docked to collect the valley’s produce. This was then transported back down the Colo River which flows into the Hawkesbury river and leads to Broken Bay following the coastline down to Old Sydney Town. The beach diagonally across the river was landed upon by members of the First Fleet’s exploratory scouting party on the lookout for quality farm land - some of which is still in production today.
Our property is on the uppermost reach of freshwater but with tidal influence. This deep water allows swimming and canoeing all year round. Our property is adjacent to the only council built canoe launching facilities on the Colo River.

55km from Wentworth Falls · 1 site
We are 1.5 hrs from Sydney. On arrival you will feel the atmosphere of this wilderness area.
Colo River Hut is located adjacent to the Colo River. A beautiful, unspoiled location on a pristine river. With it's own private beach and over 400 metres of riverfront.
We are on the opposite side of river from the the Wollemi National Park. The hut sits (alone) within the eastern (10 acre paddock) of our property. There are no walls and so you have permanent views across the paddock to large sandstone cliffs and we are less than 30 metres from the riverbank.
The Hut has a rustic tin roof, a large bench area with power points and task lighting. Tents or swags can be set up within the Colo River Hut. Or, if you wish, you can set up your tent or camper or small caravan adjacent to the Hut. There is plenty of room as there is a maximum of 8 guests (and 3 vehicles) with each booking.
The Hut has a raised hardwood timber floor and enclosed composting toilet and hot/cold shower facilities. It also has ceiling fans for airflow and insect control.
We provide a gorgeous shaded area under a large tree with valley views, with a large bbq table and chairs and fire pit (with grill) for your enjoyment. Firewood is also provided.
Suitable for swimming, canoes, bikes, Bass fishing, and hiking, the Colo River Hut can be as active or relaxing as you wish.
The Colo River Valley remains largely undiscovered, and is on the edge of the Wollemi wilderness. The Colo is fed by the Wolgan and Capertee Rivers. It has a long history and retains much of its' early unspoiled charm.

Overall, the experience was great. John, the owner, was very accommodating and thoughtful—he even checked in to see how we were doing. He kindly lent me his toolkit to fix my broken tent, which I really appreciated.
The only downside was that there was just one toilet. Thankfully, there weren’t too many of us, so it wasn’t a major issue.

We had a wonderful stay at Hawkesbury Hideaway. The property is beautifully presented and clearly cared for with great attention to detail. Access to the river was effortless, and the calm water made it perfect for a relaxing swim. Toni ensured everything was seamless from a logistics perspective, and John thoughtfully checked in to make sure we had everything we needed. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and we look forward to returning.

It is such a hidden gem! The setting is peaceful and perfect for relaxing, with plenty of space to set up camp and enjoy nature. Steve, who helped us during our stay, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He even treated us to some of his amazing brownies, which were an absolute highlight. Definitely a place to unwind and enjoy great hospitality!

Perfect spot for a little getaway. 1.5 hours from south west Sydney.
The place is very grassy and has not dirt which was very nice as when it rained, it was not muddy.
Met John on arrival and he was very welcoming.
Access to the river was very easy.

Great spot away from everything. Hut was great for some shelter with fans as it was 39deg during our stay. Unfortunately the river was a bit dirty to swim too long during our stay but would be awesome when the water is cleaner. Only issue we had, on about 5 occasions over the weekend we had cars stopping on the road next to the property and turn all their lights and off for a few minutes at a time, was a little creepy as there is no reason to be stopping. Overall had a fun time though

What a fantastic spot right by the river . We stayed here a few weeks ago for a birthday celebration, and had the place almost to ourselves .
Hosts were very friendly and nothing too much trouble .
Facilities a little basic , only 1 toilet and shower in a small porta cabin . Could do with a make over , however they were clean and that’s what hip camps all about.
If there were a few camping there , could see it being a bit of an issue .
Overall brilliant stay and perfect for our celebration. Definitely recommend .

We had a great time camping at Dharawal, highlights were the pizza oven, use of the cabin with table tennis, being only us, and the location: very close to Jingga pool track, mountain bike tracks and shop if needed, it’s a fantastic place and would highly recommended for a few days break.
