Amaroo Cottage and Boathouse – Boat access only

Beautiful accommodation looking out over breath taking views of the Hawkesbury river. Perfect for romantic getaways, , baby-moons or family retreats, originally built in the 1920s, this cottage haven has been lovingly restored and is the perfect holiday retreat for up to three couples or a family with children.

Enjoy your stay in the intimate boathouse or studio or enjoy the rooms of the cottage house.
All the original buildings still exist at Amaroo and have been faithfully restored by the present owners. French doors from the main cottage lounge and master bedroom open onto a large verandah that captures the morning light all year round and endless river views.
The newly renovated kitchen designed by Karen Sole blends perfectly with the slow combustion stove that is recessed in the original sand stone kitchen wall.

The master bedroom, with a queen size Posturepedic bed, has French doors that open onto the front deck. The second bedroom has 2 single beds supplied by Harrods of London. The third bedroom, located in the Studio next to the Boathouse, has a double bed and views over its own deck directly onto the river. Please note, the only toilet facilities are in the main house, therefore this may not be suitable for some people during the winter months.

The bathroom, although private, has views over the garden and the second “loo with a view” contains a washing machine and dryer.
The secluded tranquil gardens and boatshed right on the water’s edge offer complete relaxation and a stunning place to celebrate by the river. The outdoor gardens tables, studio deck and private boatshed are perfect for afternoon drinks before retreating to the cottage. The gardens have been designed by Michael Bligh and the contractor Michael Bates (now himself a well known designer).

The pergola, festooned with giant honeysuckle has a gas barbecue.
We have had elopements, family celebrations, intimate weddings and photoshoots here.
