This beautiful Artists retreat is surrounded by nature. You will arrive by boat and soak up the serenity. Large deck with river views. Located on the waterfront on the desirable Eastern side of Bar Point. Our custom designed Finnish sauna offers a unique and holistic experience, the combination of heat, dimmed lights and the smell of cedar or essential oils creates a healing ambience that is both invigorating and comforting. The house is full of Art, books, games, and DVDs, there is also the 'yoga deck' behind the house with even more expansive views of the river - a perfect place to do some morning meditation or enjoy a bowl of pasta as the sun goes down, highlighting the orange of the sandstone cliffs across the river. Surrounded by National Parks and completely free of cars and traffic, this is a beautiful little retreat, perfect for a family or a group of friends to meet up and re centre. At Bar Point there are no shops or cafes so you must bring everything you need with you, basic pantry staples such as salt, pepper, cooking oil etc are provided. Kayaks, fishing poles and crab pots provided. Our own private residence is a separate apartment upstairs, there are no shared walls or internal stairs and you will have your own private entrance, however as it is a large, old wooden house you may at times here us moving about upstairs, naturally we try to be as quiet as possible when we have guests visiting. We will leave you entirely to yourselves but if you do need any help or information or even a little guided walking tour of the locality we are very happy to accommodate you. Our sauna deck is a shared area which guests are welcome to use, heating the sauna takes an hour or two, so just let us know and we will get it all ready for you with fresh towels, scented oils and branches of freshly cut lavender or wormwood to create a beautiful ambience. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27120000/27116100/27116019/1c473596.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### An island style escape - Stunning oak A-frame Waterfront home Access by water Bar Point - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 137 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=27116019&PinnedHotelID=27116019&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73240000/73238300/73238275/19765488.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cosy Cottage Above the Hawkesbury w/ Jetty Cheero Point - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.6 Exceptional 14 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=73238275&PinnedHotelID=73238275&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/74000000/73410000/73402600/73402588/98ee69f6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Your Perfect Waterfront Escape/ holiday Milsons Passage - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.0 Wonderful 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=73402588&PinnedHotelID=73402588&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93320000/93316100/93316074/efed350e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious Hamptons-Style Waterfront Cottage on Hawkesbury River in Brooklyn Brooklyn - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.8 Exceptional 16 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=93316074&PinnedHotelID=93316074&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109910000/109906700/109906611/c38cdb93.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Tranquil Abode with Spa & Jetty Woy Woy - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 2 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=109906611&PinnedHotelID=109906611&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sun loungers, beach towels](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33570000/33566500/33566457/26bcf199.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Waterfront modern property w/ boat, outside hot tub, SUPs, kayaks, fishing equip Berowra Heights - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 78 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-07&endDate=2025-12-08&selected=33566457&PinnedHotelID=33566457&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113020000/113018300/113018249/33c1ebfa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Treehouse on Hardys by HolidayCo.
