This review is a fair and accurate account of our stay, all has been disclosed with the property owner so no surprises.
Location - It was advertised in the wrong place, Stayz showed it as West facing, its not it East facing over the hill in a completely different location. April you lose the sun with this house at 2.30pm, we booked west facing for the sun so this was disappointing.
Access to the property. Unknown from the property details disclosed on Stayz prior to booking is the jetty access. There is no pontoon nor bridge to the jetty, and you have to climb a ladder. Thankfully, we didn’t have my mum with us on this trip.
2 WAY ROPE MOORING - not pontoon mooring - we were expected to moor up against 2 pylons, grab the ladder and manage the ropes to pull the boat into free water. Not a problem I guess if you have an old tinny, only we have a nice boat and the location of the house (East facing) means it is susceptible to winds being in the exposed part of the river. If you are well versed in this 'boat parking' not a problem, but for us it was our first time, cumbersome and timely. The rope securing was disclosed after the booking was paid – I find this very misleading for the guest. I would never choose this again 1. due to the risk of damage to your boat and 2. its not easy and when you are there a few days so coming and going is painful.
View from the house - this is lovely and what people come to the Hawkesbury for, rest and relaxation. Mary corresponded well and hopefully she has fixed the location now.
