Unique and serene waterfront location in the middle of Ku-rin-gai National Park, wonderful 2 story accommodation with a great vibe. One of the more special places where we have ever stayed.
What a unique beautiful location! Our host was wonderful going above and beyond to help us with supplies for our stay. The property is immaculate, well appointed and views are stunning.
Our weeks stay at the Deckhouse was amazing Lovely accommodation with stunning viewsThe accommodation was spotlessly cleanRelaxation on the water makes for a perfect holidayHosts Belinda and Paul were welcoming and very helpful with timely communication I thoroughly recommend the Deckhouse for your next holiday
Had a wonderful 2 nights stay with my sister. We loved sitting out on the balcony for sunsets looking across the water to the untouched national park. The kayaks were a highlight and so easy with the jetty. We also went for a fantastic bush walk to Lovetts pool for a dip. The house was extremely clean and so well equipped. Will definitely visit again!
Celebrated my 40th staying 4 nights. The Deckhouse is an absolutely beautiful spot to relax. Highly recommend doing brunch at the Kiosk, hiring a tinny and booking in for a long lunch at the Inn too. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Belinda & Paul.
A very big THANK YOU! to Belinda for a wonderful and memorable stay. The deckhouse is a special place - it is peaceful, tranquil, and has amazing views. I experienced one the most beautiful sunsets there.
Belinda is the perfect host. She is meticulous in her work and the deckhouse is spotless and well equipped. Belinda is responsive and I can see her passion in providing a great experience for her guests.
Cottage Point is one of the most unique and beautiful places I have ever holidayed in. Surrounded by natural beauty Belinda and Paul have created a wonderful getaway with everything you need to relax and unwind. The inclinator down to the property gives an expansive view of the river as you descend to the waters edge. Magical sunsets and active river life were fantastic to watch. A boat hire and kiosk are located nearby for things you might need. The house is amazing! Sparkling clean, comfortable with style and charm. Cant speak highly enough of our hosts who made our stay brilliant! Thanks Belinda and Paul.
What a magical place to spend celebrating our special anniversary !
The waterside views from this beautiful house are breath taking.
We had a lovely relaxing time.But there is plenty of water sports to enjoy if you wish.
The house has everything in it you need to have an amazing holiday. The furnishings are gorgeous and the bed is very comfortable.
There is a trendy little cafe on a mariner a few minutes down the road and an amazing seafood restaurant that does a degustation that you will feel thoroughly spoilt in indulging in.
Belinda & Paul the owners could not have been any friendlier or accomodating.
We loved our stay and would really like to go back again.
I was looking for the hawksbury river mail
Boat as a trip in our five week tour down under when this accommodation popped up. It looked to be a great option before we ended up in the buzz of Sydney for the last five nights of our five week tour down under.
Sadly the weather didn’t play ball until the third day when we saw it all in its glory finished off with a beautiful sunset.
The inclinator down to the house good fun.
Dining at the Cottage Point in. Memorable. Hiring a tinnie from the boat kiosk for three hours simply wonderful.
Belinda is a joy to communicate with and we are so glad we rested up at yours
Stayed a wonderful 4 days - the property is beautifully presented, immaculate and well laid out. We found everything we needed and the beds bedding and furnishings were fantastic. The view and peacefulness was second to none - The perfect long weekend.
Deckhouse is a really special spot and one we would love to visit again in the future. It's as close to the water as you can get and a really romantic place to spend a weekend for couples
Overall beautiful place to stay at everything was good house was cleaned up well and had all the essentials. Would 100% recommend and will be coming back soon
Thank you Belinda!
