Additional Information

SHIPPING CONTAINER DETAILS
We are right on the freshwater part of the Hawkesbury river, so fishing for brim, perch, and some times even flathead is good fun. It’s a great spot to SUP or kayak from. And there is a public boat ramp 900m up the road. So if you have a trailer boat you can pop it in and ski from out the front.

But if you feel like something more relaxing just enjoy the farm, we have chickens, horses to pat, and walks in the bush.

There is a television with basic foxtel package, no wifi and the only phone plan that will work is Telstra. So that is a minus or a plus depending on your outlook.

We had the most amazing few days there and would 100% return again. If you want a place to relax and recharge, this is the place to be. The fact that it was pet friendly was a also a big tick, our poo...ch loved going for his swim morning and night. There were 2 beautiful and friendly horses that wandered around the property, which just made the experience more magical.

The hosts were so lovely and accomodating, we borrowed their kayaks and went exploring on the river. We fished, swam and relaxed, just what we needed.

Thank you Stephanie and Ritchie.

We absolutely loved our stay at the shipping container. The container was clean and comfortable and in an absolutely stunning location. We brought our kayaks and had a fabulous time paddling along the... river and swimming near the shore. We also loved meeting the friendly horses and witnessed some fantastic (& frighteningly close) lightening. Would definitely stay again, thanks for having us!

I live on this beautiful property but it is close enough to Sydney that i commute to the city each day. It's hard to be stressed about 'real life' when you are surrounded by nature and animals.

Furry Friends

It's hard to miss the gorgeous farm animals on the property. The host told us that we may wake up to the sight of the horses and pony on our balcony and she was spot on! We fed them carrots while the sun came up over the river. Truly a magical experience.
