Property Description
PROPERTY SETTING:
Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages is conveniently close to Sydney yet you couldn’t feel more removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life once you arrive. Set on 40 acres of pristine land near Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury area, we are tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to relax in the peace and tranquillity of the rainforest listening only to the birds and the gentle breeze in the trees. Take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild bushland that abounds, sip fine wine picked up on your day’s travel into the valley or sit by the potbelly stove relaxing; do as much or as little as you like.
THE COTTAGE:
Mud Brick Cottage is a quaint two story cottage built as the original family home. It has three bedrooms, two outdoor entertaining spaces and a small kitchen/dining area. The large loft bedroom has a queen and two kid singles; and the bedrooms downstairs are one queen (attached to the outside and accessed via the veranda) and one twin (internal). Fresh linen and towels are provided and the beds have electric blankets. There's a basic kitchenette and private BBQ to cater for simple meals. The cottage boasts a pot belly stove for heating and stays relatively cool in summer due to its position in the trees and the mud bricks. A double spa bath set in a garden conservatory is perfect for unwinding.
THE PROPERTY:
Mud Brick Cottage is one of five secluded, private, self-contained rustic cabins, each in their own separate area of forest on the property. They are available individually or as a group for up to 24 people. A tennis court is available for use up the hill at the main house.
Pets welcome by arrangement.
SIGHTS:
Nearby attractions include the beautiful botanical gardens of Mt Tomah, quaint Kurrajong village, Richmond markets and the historic Windsor all within 10 to 30 mins drive and well worth a visit. On our doorstep are two World Heritage National Parks, the Blue Mountains and the Wollomi, not to mention the Grose River ideal for a quick swim, or the mighty Hawkesbury River for more.About pets:Pets allowed: dogs and cats (limit 2 total).Pls notify us you are bringing pets, bring bedding.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 3-17.Multiple hazards for small children - contact me..About checkIn:Check in after 2:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

Brilliant
Our group of two families absolutely loved staying at MudBrick Cottage. The owners were so warm and welcoming, it is an excellent location, and we enjoyed being off-grid with no internet access! The kids had fun on the tennis court. A terrific winter escape.

Bush retreat
We had a lovely stay. Gorgeous location, lovely spa and fire pit. We had a wonderful time.Important to know in advance that there is no reception or internet. This wasn't a problem for us, but good to know for preparation.

Peaceful escape
We had a lovely long weekend away at mudbrick cottage. The kids had so much fun running around the property. The cottage had everything we needed and it was very refreshing being out of mobile range at the cottage to enjoy some peaceful family time.

Perfect bush stay
Just what we needed! Everything for a short stay in idyllic surrounds. Gave us space to just breathe and be. After the initial 'theres no internet' even the teenager made it through the 2 nights we were there. Would stay again in a heartbeat. Hosts are lovely

Relaxing and Peaceful
Perfect location, tranquil and relaxing, away from the hustle and bustle and close to all local amenities. The cottage was very comfortable, clean and felt like home away from home. Pet friendly. The owners are very nice people and very accommodating. We have now found accommodation to stay in when travelling from Qld and will be visiting again soon.

Perfect for us as we were down from queensland to celebrate an 80th birthday
It was close to family that we were visiting and a very beautiful location. Fiona and Mike were really great and we would definitely come back and stay and enjoy the place more as it was so peaceful and relaxing.
