Had a wonderful 2 nights stay with my sister. We loved sitting out on the balcony for sunsets looking across the water to the untouched national park. The kayaks were a highlight and so easy with the jetty. We also went for a fantastic bush walk to Lovetts pool for a dip. The house was extremely clean and so well equipped. Will definitely visit again!

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.

When we first stumbled upon this house on Stayz, it seemed almost too good to be true. We thought there was a catch! Everything was as perfect as it seemed. The house is beautifully furnished with particular attention to all the details for the best comfort. The kitchen contains everything you need. The view is amazing. The location is incredible. Belinda is an excellent host and went way beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. Thanks Belinda and Deckhouse at Cottage Point for such a wonderful time! We absolutely recommend staying here. We will be back Susie

Wonderful 2-storey house situated on a riverfront. We spent quite a bit of time sitting on the upstairs balcony with our drinks watching the boats, birds and schools of jumping fish pass by. I also had a turn at fishing off the BBQ deck downstairs and kept losing my bait to the fish! The house was very clean and contained everything we needed. Just bring your clothes, food and drinks. There are 2 restaurants and boat hire just a short walk away. Access to the covered carport is via a short steep driveway just past Cowan Drive, then hop into a carriage cage with your bags and take the slow (but fun) ride down the rails to the house.

Celebrated my 40th staying 4 nights. The Deckhouse is an absolutely beautiful spot to relax. Highly recommend doing brunch at the Kiosk, hiring a tinny and booking in for a long lunch at the Inn too. Looking forward to returning soon. Thank you Belinda & Paul.

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.

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
