The cottage has character and history which made it so much more interesting to stay in. We loved the grounds with beautiful gardens, which r could see how much love Peter & John have put into their h...ome. We loved cows and chickens. Our dogs loved the space to run and explore. John & Peter were wonderful hosts. The local Kurrajong has great restaurants and cafes. And Bilpin is close by so a great place to explore the area or just stay and relax at house. We would recommend Hermitage Cottage Farm.

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!

Vale Of Avoca Lookout

We could have stayed the whole day marvelling at this impressive view, watching the sun setting and the golden rays illuminating this unique shaped green hill and pagodas. This is the perfect place to bring a picnic and cheers at the natural wonders this world offers us.

Richmond Good Food Market

Richmond Good Food Market takes place every Saturday at Richmond Oval from 8 am. You can find tasty delicacies as well as fresh vegetables and fruits grown and produced in and around the Hawkesbury region.

Fairy And Horseshoe Falls Hike

There is something particular and magical in going for a stroll behind a curtain of cascading water. Walking to Fairy and Horseshoe falls is an easy and small hike that will bring you a wonderful sensory experience. If you come at nighttime, you may unravel some of the mysteries of Horseshoe Falls and spot a thousand glowworms twinkling behind the falls.

Jellybean Pool

Jellybean Pool is a picturesque and peaceful wild swimming hole setting amongst a pristine bushland. It is just an easy short walk to take you to pool where you can swim, lilo on the calm waters, or bring a picnic.
