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 to the birds and the running water of the creek. 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 open fire listening to your favourite music; do as much or as little as you like.
THE COTTAGE:
Magnolia Cottage, named after the glorious Magnolia tree beside it, is a traditional settler-style log cabin with two bedrooms (a queen and a twin). Fresh linen and towels are provided and the beds have electric blankets. There's a basic kitchenette and private BBQ to cater for a simple meals. The cottage boasts open fire and air-conditioning/heating as well as a double bath with jets. Looking out over your vast front yard of an acre or more you can see the birds flit across the sun bathed lawn. A stream passes by the cabin and the sounds of the small waterfalls are heard throughout the valley.
THE PROPERTY:
Magnolia 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 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 simple swim, or the mighty Hawkesbury River for more.About pets:Pets allowed.Pls notify us you are bringing pets, bring bedding.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.Creeks and dense bushland on the property.About checkIn:Check in after 2:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About events:No events allowed.

We had a great stay at Magnolia Cottage. It was really very cute and old fashioned, but also clean and comfortable. Well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. The kids loved having campfires and exploring the nearby creek. The spa bath was also a hit! Fiona was excellent to communicate with and Mike and the dogs gave us a warm welcome the day we arrived. Highly recommend for a disconnected weekend not too far from Sydney!Also for families with young kids, the Australiana Pioneer Village is less than half hour away and was a great day out.Thanks Mike and Fiona!

A terrific stay. It’s very hard to find a rustic cabin such as this where you can “be off the grid” while still having the option of going to nearby towns such as Richmond and Windsor, only a few minutes away.

Close to family and local shops but a million miles away from the rat race. Wonderful nature surrounds, even lyrebirds.

Want a get away from Sydney.
My friend and I needed a break and get away, from the fast pace of Sydney and work.
Well we got it, peaceful, relaxed our 3 dogs loved it, all the essential items were there, just bring your food, could have stayed longer.
Our host Fiona was fantastic, any inquiries needed, she was more than happy to answer.
We will definitely be back next year.
