Pet-friendly

Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages is conveniently close to Sydney yet you couldn’t feel more removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life once you arrive. Set on 40 acres of pristine land near Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury area, we are tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to relax in the peace and tranquility of the rainforest, listening to the birds and the running water of the creek.

Take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild, visit local markets or fruit picking farms, kick a ball on the lawn, read a book on the veranda or sit by the open fire roasting marshmallows; do as much or as little as you like.

A lovely, peaceful spot that we didn't want to leave. The property had a real sense of calm about it, exactly what we were after for a proper switch-off. The outdoor fire was a highlight. Everything was well set up and comfortable. Would highly recommend and hope to be back!

Vale Of Avoca Lookout

A few minutes from the cottage, you will find a stunning lookout with glorious views over the Grose River. While we were there on a cloudy day, we can imagine how magical this place would be at sunset! Perfect for a romantic picnic! There is also a walk that goes down to the river, which sounds like a fun activity to do on a hot day!

Paddle At Navua Reserve With The Kids Dog

If you are after somewhere to cool off, visit Navua Reserve at the convergence of the Nepean, Hawkesbury & Grose Rivers. Popular with locals and visitors. Being set along a river bank the activity options are endless including walking, swimming, fishing, canoeing, ball games, bird watching or just relaxing.

Hillbilly Cider Shed

After walking and driving all day, we were ready for a bit of a relax and the Hillbilly cider shed delivered. With amazing ciders and delicious wood fire pizza in a lovely outdoor setting, it ticked all the boxes for us!
We definitely recommend the tasting paddle and the garlic pizza!

Fishing

The Grose River is known mostly as a summer bass fishery. The best bass fishing is typically at dusk and dawn or immediately following heavy rain or during minor flooding.

Hiking In The Greater Blue Mountains

Also part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. This park is popular with canyoners and bushwalkers alike. There are many spectacular scenic lookouts and walking tracks.
