About this property
The River Cottage
Escape to River Cottage, your own private piece of paradise on Milsons Passage. A hidden, boat-access-only gem with sweeping views across the magnificent Hawkesbury River.
Perfect for a romantic retreat, peaceful family getaway, or creative escape, this sun-drenched waterfront home offers a rare blend of comfort, luxury, and nature. Designed for relaxation and connection, it’s a place to slow down, unplug, and truly unwind.
With three spacious bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with an open fireplace and gorgeous river views, you’ll find space to unwind and recharge in complete comfort.
Wake up to the sound of the river and enjoy your morning coffee on the covered verandah overlooking the Hawkesbury. In the evenings, watch the sun melt into the water.
Cook up a feast in the gourmet eat-in kitchen featuring quality appliances, timber bench tops, and views to the private backyard. The stylish bathroom has modern finishes. With both reverse cycle air conditioning and a slow combustion fireplace, you’ll stay cosy in every season.
Every detail has been carefully considered to make your stay effortless, peaceful, and unforgettable.
Just a five-minute boat ride from Brooklyn and only an hour from Sydney, this slice of paradise is perfect for:
Couples seeking privacy and romance
Families or friends craving a digital detox
Fishing enthusiasts looking for a private jetty and prime river location
Writers, artists, and nature lovers in search of inspiration
Step outside to your private deep-water jetty, ideal for fishing, swimming, or launching a kayak straight from your doorstep. With its north-facing aspect, you’ll enjoy all day sunshine and spectacular river views from every angle.
Your River Cottage awaits.
