About this property

"Wagtail Cottage" Hawkesbury River Garden Retreat

You'll absolutely fall in love with this cute 2 bed cottage surrounded by natural habitat on the banks of the Hawkesbury River only 1.5hrs from Sydney. Whether it's lazing in the hot tub, lounging in front of the wood fire place, enjoying river activities or listening to live music at the local, there is something here for everybody.

Lovingly manicured gardens surround this authentic 1950's workman's cottage creating a tranquil, private sanctuary that is quite simply, food for the soul.
