Historic Waterfront Boatshed

The Oxley Boatshed really does live up to its waterfront description. This spacious historic converted boatshed is super cosy and very comfortable. You'll love everything here from the deck overlooking water, to the expansive living room with roaring stone fireplace - all with a backdrop of the beautiful Hawkesbury River.

You can lose yourself in a book, soak in the bathtub, lounge in the sun or take one of the kayaks out for an adventure along the nature reserve that's right on your doorstep. Being boat access only really makes this spot feel perfectly isolated, and it's only an hour out of the city!

Grab a kayak and cruise along the shoreline until you come across this pristine beach. Enjoy it all to yourself with views of the Hawkesbury River and surrounding nature reserve.
You can throw a rod in off your private jetty straight into the river.
Coming here on a full moon was truly an experience to remember. Sit out on the comfortable deck chairs for hours moon and star gazing.
