About this property

“The Shouse” private beach and ramp on the Hawkesbury River, 1hr from Sydney

The Shouse is a beautifully converted 3/4 bedroom house, originally a shed, located on the ridge of a 25 acre property with breathtaking views of the Blue Mountains. The property is accessible via a fully sealed private road that winds its way through the natural bush setting, approximately 500m from the house. The road opens up to park-like surrounds with level grass area that abuts sandstone seawalls on the magnificent Hawkesbury River. The riverfront is landscaped with private boat ramp, parking for car and trailer, BBQ picnic facilities, and a toilet. Kayaks and life jackets are available, and you can even bring your ski boat by arrangement, ramp fee applies.
The Shouse features a master bedroom with a king bed and an ensuite, while the remaining two bedrooms feature queen beds. Additionally, the upstairs lounge can be converted into another bedroom, with 2 single beds, providing a total sleeping capacity of 8 people.

The property also includes a fully equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, oven, microwave, and even a coffee machine that grinds fresh beans. You can bring your favourite coffee beans or enjoy the beans provided. Each bedroom has its own TV and ceiling fan, while the living areas have Chromecast and NBN Wi-Fi. The property also features 2 split air conditioners to keep you comfortable all year round.

Outside, you'll find a large undercover entertaining area complete with a BBQ, outdoor table, and lounge. It's the perfect spot to sit back and watch the beautiful sunset across the Blue Mountains.

The Shouse is located in South Maroota and is only a 1-hour drive from Sydney. The historic town of Windsor is only a 20-minute drive and has fantastic local markets every Sunday. A scenic drive up the Bells Line Road will take you to pick your own fresh fruit if the season is right. For mountain bike enthusiasts, the property is only 15 minutes from the Great North Road at Wisemans Ferry, a beautiful historic town to explore or just chill at the pub and listen to the ghost stories.

As John Williamson would say, "Hawkesbury river lovin', good Aussie wine, workin' hard at bein' lazy, no bait on the line." Escape the rush of everyday life and enjoy a relaxing stay at "The Shouse."

Wake boarding get away
Excellent large house to look after 6 people. Well manicured lawn and view to Blue mountains & sunset every night. Easy access to water for a a boat (which we did!) with a tarred road. Plenty of parking. Awesome outside entertainment area where we cooked up a feast every night on the BBQ. Highly recommend if you want a weekend away on the water.

Wonderful
We had a wonderful weekend at The Shouse catching up with amazing friends. The property was clean on arrival and it had everything we needed, very well equipped. We loved the covered outdoor area and were very thankful to be able to enjoy the outdoors even with the sometimes torrential rain. While the hosts are close by, the property is still very private for guests. The hosts were very friendly and great to communicate with to organise the booking. Thank you for letting us stay at The Shouse…. Well be back again!

Lovely and comfortable
The property is a lovely location with a great view. The house was nice, cosy and comfortable but the website says it is pet friendly but on arrival we found out that my dog wasn't allowed upstairs in the bedroom. Would have liked to have known this before we got there. Also there were some dog across the way that would bark at me and my dog everytime we went outside. Was annoying and made my dog uncomfortable
