About this property

Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home

  • Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Dido's Place is a multi-award-winning Hawkesbury family holiday home sleeping up to 11 guests plus an infant, set across 9 exclusive-use acres of peaceful countryside.

    Designed especially with families in mind, Dido's Place is more than somewhere to stay. It's a place to slow down, reconnect and make the kind of childhood memories that involve muddy shoes, campfires, curious minds and plenty of "Mum, look what I found!"

    Spend your days enjoying nature play, outdoor adventures, veggie picking, fishing and family activities, then settle in for marshmallows around the campfire, a movie in the theatre room or a relaxing soak in the hot tub beneath the stars.

    No shared facilities. No other guests. No owners onsite during your stay. The entire property is yours to enjoy together.

    Created by a Mum who understands the challenges of travelling with children, Dido's Place has been thoughtfully equipped to make family holidays easier. Travel lighter knowing many of the essentials are already here, and spend less time organising and more time enjoying your stay.

    While the kids explore, create and play, adults can relax in the hot tub, enjoy a glass of wine around the fire, cook together in the gourmet kitchen or simply soak up the peace of the countryside. Because Mum and Dad deserve a holiday too!

    You can easily spend an entire day at Dido's Place without needing to go anywhere.

But the recognition we're proudest of is hearing families tell us their children didn't want to leave and that they're already planning their next visit.

    Dido's Place isn't simply somewhere to sleep between sightseeing. It's the holiday.

    Come for the space, stay for the memories, and leave with the kids asking:
    "When can we come back?"

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Dido’s place — it truly had everything we could have asked for, especially for a kid-friendly getaway. The house was beautifully set up, clean, and thoughtfully equipped with all the little extras that made traveling with kids so much easier.The management team was exceptional — responsive, helpful, and available 24/7, which gave us real peace of mind throughout our stay. Every question was answered quickly, and nothing ever felt like too much trouble.The home itself was just as amazing as the service. Comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly suited for families, it made our trip both relaxing and fun.We’d highly recommend Dido’s place to anyone, especially families looking for a stress-free and well-cared-for stay. We’d happily come back again!
