About this cabin rental

Simplicity and peace in mad times! A residential island an hour from the CBD yet it feels like another world. Watch the sunrise over the escarpment rising above the glorious Hawkesbury River and drift off to sleep to the rhythm of gently lapping waves. Come by ferry, water taxi or tinny to our jetty. Curl up with a book, bushwalk, birdwatch, throw in a line or stroll down to the cafe for coffee. Perfect for writers, artists, boaters, photographers and nature lovers. Recharge and make memories!

The space

A unique restored private cabin right on the water. Recent renovations have respected the character of this rustic cabin. The cabin has air-conditioning electric blankets, high-quality linen, ensuite bathroom, well-equipped kitchen, with full stove and cooktop, fridge, microwave and other appliances. There is a private balcony overlooking the river and downstairs another large shady deck with deck chairs where you can relax and hang out and a third small deck to the side which is like a little treehouse.
Use the jetty if you are bringing your boat or would like to go fishing off the jetty. Please note jet skis and large boats can not be accommodated-
The cabin is three jetties down from Bradley's beach and a short walk to the Cafe, Bowling Club, and main ferry wharf.
Ideal for relaxing, swimming, walking, chilling, writing and dreaming.
Views you would not believe! You will fall in love with this unique little home - it has a sense of simplicity and everything you need to just live.
Enjoy the bush, birdwatching, cloud watching, river gazing and the stars at night! Leave your car on the mainland and take a complete break from your hectic lifestyle.
There is one open plan living space with a queen size comfy bed.

Take the ferry over to Brooklyn and enjoy the cafes and seafood restaurants.
The main train from the CBD meets the ferry and regularly runs throughout the week.
If you want space to breathe and get back in touch with the rhythms of nature, this is the holiday you need. It's gentle pace, it's light, its expansive views! So special and the comforting thing is it's yours when you need it!

Guest access

Private use of cabin and downstairs waterfront deck. Shared access to the garden, private jetty, and pontoon. (As it is a water access property we need to use the jetty as well ) Use of our pontoon to moor small boats , our tandem kayak, life jackets and fishing gear by arrangement when not in use.

Interaction with guests

You will have the place to yourself and if we are not there we are only a text message or a call away.
Happy to have a chat about things to do and see on the Hawkesbury River or leave you to discover it all for yourselves. Our place is a long way up the hill from the Boatshed so you have your privacy.

Other things to note

We have fishing gear, a tandem kayak and life jackets that we have been known to share with guests who ask us very nicely :) the kayak is very popular with guests - even in winter!

The Boatshed has wifi, however, the signal strength varies from strong to abysmal. There is no TV but there is a Bluetooth tower so you can stream your music. The Boatshed is a place to unwind, disconnect and tune into the mesmerizing vista of the water and sky and the sounds of the birds, trees, and waves.
The kookaburras are gorgeous but very brazen and they think it's fine to share your meals!
Your well behaved dog will have a great time! So far 6 dogs have been out on the kayak!:

Our stay couldn’t have been more ideal.The cottage is perfectly situated between a lush garden to the rear and the river immediately below the front balcony. The kitchen space is well equipped and the bed is comfy. So peaceful, such wonderful views of river life.

It was everything we needed for a weekend getaway. Isolated enough to be peaceful but close enough for my partner and i to utilise our boat to explore the river sights. Clean, Neat and well appointed. We enjoyed the location so much that we would like to return and perhaps stay a bit longer. Communication with the owner was very good.

Lovely little property right on the water. Perfect for a couples get away. Make sure to bring your own food to cook in the kitchen, as the club on the island is not open every night.

With a name like Boatshed Bliss, I don't need to state the obvious in that it is tucked away, right on the waters edge. Self contained, no TV but there is WIFi if you want to bring your own device. We made do with the board games and cards after dinner and spent the days walking and sitting by the water reading, so enjoyed the lack of TV, to be honest!

I felt like I was on an island holiday without the flights! Absolute mind and body reset Location location!! The tide comes up under your balcony at high tide, at low tide you can walk along the shore to the beach for a short cut to the Cafe... where they serve amazing breakfast, lunch and coffee right in the waterfront. High tide you'll need to walk up the 150 steps to the 'road' through lush gardens, trees and past the owners property. No cars (I believe there's a couple vehicles, fire, garbage etc) there's also golf buggy taxi if you want it. Speaking of taxi, do yourself a favour and order a water taxi to take you straight to the jetty in front of the boatshed, 10 easy steps up to the door. 100% recommend for a relaxing break so close to home. Great communication from the owner, especially when I accidentally locked myself out within a few hours of arrival, whoops! Thank you, I'll be back!!
