Willow Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages

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:
Willow Cottage 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 simple meals. The cottage boasts open fire and air-conditioning/heating as well as a double bath with jets. Go exploring up the creek behind the cottage, or simply look out from your veranda across the picturesque lawn taking in the beauty of the wilderness.

THE PROPERTY:
Willow 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.
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Stretch out in the jetted tub. Other standard amenities include a fireplace and an electric kettle.

Weekend hideaway

Loved our stay. Totally isolated but within easy driving distance of anything that might be needed. Cabins are gorgeous, you’re really encouraged to switch off. Some creature comforts like air con were appreciated! Will be staying again.

Peaceful, nature

We loved our long weekend at Willow Cabin. I wanted our little family to have a go at a screen free getaway. I was nervous that the kids would be bored but not even close. They loved the freedom and fun and the cabin had everything we needed for making some new memories. Kitchen and BBQ meant we could cook anything we wanted. A selection of games and books (there’s also DVDs for the TV). Cute babbling creek a short walk away. Other cabins in the property but felt very private. We loved fruit picking at Bilpin and lots of little towns in the Blue Mountains to check out. I’d hoped to do some of the excellent bushwalking trails but it was hot weather so the kids and I settled for a short trail and stopping at some look-outs. Our dog had a wonderful time running around, chewing sticks, sniffing and taking herself for a paddle in the creek. We appreciated the air conditioning in summer but would love to come back in winter to try the indoor fireplace.

Fiona and Mike were wonderful. They provided a lot of info about travelling there and things to do in the area. We will be back.

Had a great time bonding

No internet, no reception, no TV - that meant having time to appreciate each other, be more aware of our surroundings, have fun. The kids learnt how to build a fire. And do BBQ. They played badminton, volleyball, frisbee, hide & seek, etc. At night, we played board games, which was really fun. And a lot of singing in between. It was nice listening to happy voices. Rustic - that's how I would describe our cabin. But we had everything we needed. Hot water, heating, cooking appliances, electricity... I love the open space, green surroundings... We enjoyed our stay. Thanks Fiona.

Perfect choice for a step back to nature

We booked this simple cabin three friends and we had a great time. The cabin has everything you’d need except from the food. Walking to the creek is 2 minutes, I had great time sitting on the rocks and listening to the sound of the water. There are 4 more cabins available in the property but they have enough distance to ensure privacy. We were also lucky that the closest cabin to ours (~300m) wasn’t booked. Fiona is a good host, very communicative, positive and reliable. I would recommend this place and I’ll probably take my family in the near future. Thanks Fiona!

Peaceful Getaway

Loved the feeling of isolation of Willow Cottage - just what I needed at this time. The cottage looked exactly how I imagined it from the photos. Although the facilities were sufficient for such a getaway, the interior decor is well overdue for an update. Curtains and screens need replacing as well as the two seater lounge. The books, DVDs and CDs left for guests’s enjoyment were very old and dirty. The living area itself was also needing a good dust and thorough clean particularly with the open fire. The best aspect was enjoying the surroundings and the peacefulness while sitting on the verandah in the early mornings watching my two fur babies running free having the time of their lives. Thank goodness there’s a DIY dog washing facility close by in North Richmond.

A truly fantastic retreat

We loved Hidden Valley! It was quiet, beautiful and natural. The cottage was lovely and had everything we needed. The best part was that we could take our dog. We all had a great time away from it all. We will be back!

Lovely, relaxing, rustic retreat

We had a wonderfully restful time in this little getaway cottage. Warm and cozy and set in beautiful bushland surrounds. It was so easy to access from Sydney, yet we felt far from the worries of the world. Thank you for a great long weekend!
