Waterfront paradise
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.

Rest and relaxation in a beautiful location
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

40th Wedding Anniversary
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.
