Bar Point · 整套民居 · 4室5床1.5卫 · 可住10人 · Riviera on Hawkesbury An island style escape
An island style escape - Stunning oak A-frame Waterfront home Accessible by water only! The house has proved to be a great success for extended families, for families who wish to entertain their overseas guests or relatives or just for a great family holiday to spend some quality time with family or friends. There is something to do for all ages. Fishing, kayaking, boating, walks or just take in the wildlife, serenity. water views and clean air (no cars on Barpoint) I am not offering accommodation…I am offering a lifestyle/ holiday resort that only the very rich can afford but who don’t have the time to enjoy it. Perched only 60 metres away from the private jetty, the home itself is an entertainer’s delight. It melds perfectly to be what you need it to be - fantastic fishing cabin for a weekend away with the boys, base camp for exploring local wildlife, beach house with plenty of areas to relax for a weekend escape, clubhouse with games, firepit, pool table and ping pong for a family tribe on school holidays. My dream with this home is to provide a space which caters to anything you could wish to do in this pristine location. And, I have to say, so far, so good. Assuming you are lucky enough to know some millionaire, who will give you their holiday house FREE for a weekend, You will still be more out of pocket if you had to hire the kayaks, wash the linen farm out the dogs to kennels, pay for fire wood and leave a small gift to say “thank you” and live with the debt that you may feel you owe them… Don’t bother.. You don’t need them anymore. You have it all at my house...and to annoy them, just invite them for a BBQ.. You can even offer to pick them up on my boat..!! And if you are generous enough let them stay overnight telling them they don’t have to wash the linen when they leave. Unfortunately, it still cost quite a bit to stay here (and will stay so until my bank manager lets me off my mortgage repayments…don’t hold your breath), however if you take the cost of heating your house, going to restaurants, kennelling the dogs etc from the cost and divide the remainder (if any) between 2 full families, 4 couples or 10 friends you will realise just what good value you are getting. No cars on the "island", no traffic no smog just pure air and great views.. The front yard is the river where you can fish ski kayak ... The immediate back yard is enclosed and comes with an outdoor shower, BBQ and a Huge fire pit. On the other side of the backyard is the Popran National park where you can hike, walk down the only road (or path) Kalinda road, get some free fire wood or just take in the nature. If the bush is a bit rough for you then walk on the grassed reserve in front of the house which is more of an extended garden than a reserve. Visit the local Post office and see how post offices were some centuries back (open 24/7) You can even fish from the post office when the postman has gone. Visit the historic Bar island with the church ruins and grave stones (boat access only) or simply explore the waterways with your boat or mine. Now for something different How often have you gone shopping or to restaurant by boat??? Now is your opportunity with numerous shops, restaurants and bars that can be accessed by boat. There is something for all. All you have to do is book early to ensure no disappointments
David was so organized and welcoming. Also very responsive when we needed a couple of things. The VIP package is totally worth it if you don’t have your own boat. It was lovely to be at Bar point. Thanks again David.
David was a great host - friendly and willing to help. He provided great assistance in getting to and from the house. The place is in a beautiful location with great access to the water via a jetty. Whilst the weather during our stay was not great there was enough room and things to do in the house for us 8 adults to still have a good time. The pool table, TV (with Foxtel) and large kitchen table were put to great use. The WiFi was good enough to stream apps. The house has a homely feel, in a condition that is in keeping with its age. It has good cooking facilities and the bathroom is adequate with the convenience of a second toilet. Thank you David for being a great host.
We stayed with another family, 8 guests in total for a weekend and there was heaps of room for us all. Having a jetty to tie our boat up and fish from made the stay so much better. David is an excellent host who went out of his way to ensure that we were well set up and helped us from the boat to the house with our belongings and then again on check out. Fishing, knee boarding, tubing, bushwalking, enjoying the stunning views, feeding the birds, watching the possums at night time and playing pool were amongst the fun activities on offer at this great location.
We had the most incredible time at the A Frame house!! it rained nearly the whole time but we didn't care it was so beautiful. We sipped coffee on the pontoon by the water, took the kayaks out, lit a fire in the backyard, and enjoyed good food and wine. Could not have asked for more ❤️
David helped us and our friends coordinate a beautiful surprise proposal. Beautiful area with a great view from the balcony. Lots of fun things to do and lots of beds and space for a group. David is very communicative and was able to accommodate all our requests, and was available whenever we needed him. Just make sure to bring everything you need for cooking - there was no salt, pepper, oil, or any other condiments. It has the vibe of a family's beloved old holiday lakehouse, with plenty of activities. We especially loved the darts, using the buggy, and trekking to the natural pool in the forest. Some reviews mentioned the lack of curtains, and we were relieved that this was not the case anymore - every room had quality curtains or blinds blocking the light for a good night's sleep. Keen to stay again!
Bar Point is located in the Popran nature reserve. Many houses are occupied by full time residents. Due to the water, no cars and any commercial activity, the place is extremely quiet and peaceful, so much so that if you are quite you will hear the fish jumping in the water and the tides lapping on the shore from the balcony of the house .Noise seems to carry very easily in this area and hence we ask our guest to keep it low after 10PM.
The house has two one man kayaks incliuded in the rent. A boat is availble at the house for guest only for a nominal fee. Hire boats are also available at brooklyn or can be arranged to be delivered at the house
Hawkesbury train station is just off the warf in Brooklyn... Great for picking up guests
