Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home

Escape the city and reconnect where childhood memories are made, campfires crackle beneath star-filled skies, and parents finally get the chance to relax.

Welcome to Dido's Place, an award-winning family holiday home set on 9 private acres in the beautiful Hawkesbury, just 90 minutes from Sydney.

Unlike many accommodation options, Dido's Place is exclusively yours. No shared facilities, no other guests, no owners onsite. Just your family and friends enjoying complete privacy across a beautiful countryside property designed for connection, relaxation and adventure.

Created by a Mum who understands the challenges of travelling with children, Dido's Place has been thoughtfully designed to take the stress out of family holidays. Travel lighter knowing many of the essentials are already here, and spend less time managing logistics and more time making memories together.

Picture the kids spending hours outdoors digging for potatoes in the veggie patch, searching for treasure in the construction mining zone, exploring the sensory fairy garden, roasting marshmallows around the campfire or settling in for a movie night in the theatre room.

Meanwhile, the adults can unwind in the hot tub beneath the stars, enjoy a glass of wine around the firepit, or simply soak up the peace and quiet of your own private countryside retreat.

This is the kind of family getaway you'll talk about long after you've returned home.
