Growing up in the city, I've always dreamed of having a place to escape the noise, somewhere quiet, grounding, and deeply connected to nature. River Point Retreat & Cottage were created from that longing for stillness, privacy, and space to truly slow down.
Set on 30 private acres overlooking the Hawkesbury River, this retreat is my way of sharing the calm and connection I was searching for. Whether it’s watching the river drift by, soaking in the spa, or sitting by the fire under the stars, this is a place designed to breathe, reset, and reconnect, just as I do every time I’m here.
I hope you love the experience as much as I do.

Hidden Cliffside Pool And Spa Sanctuary
A short 100m walk from the cottage brings you to a private riverfront retreat perched on the cliff’s edge. A sparkling pool and huge spa with glowing rainbow lights at night overlook sweeping river views. Frangipanis, palms and hibiscus create a tropical feel. With a large fire pit and complete privacy, it’s the perfect romantic spot to relax above the river.
