It was clean and tidy. The property is large and perfect for kids to run around in. We couldn’t get to the waterfall due to the steep decline but the spa made up for it. The only other difficulty was finding the wifi information and there was no information booklet in the house that I saw which would have been helpful. Lots of lovely cafes close by. Would love to visit again. ##### Michal J.

My family and I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Cascades for our Christmas gathering, and I can't say enough about how fantastic our experience was! From the moment we stepped onto the property, we were captivated by its charm and tranquillity. The Cascades offered a perfect blend of modern comfort and natural beauty. The spacious and well-appointed rooms provided a cozy retreat, and the attention to detail in the decor did not go unnoticed. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the stunning surroundings. The property is nestled in the heart of nature, surrounded by lush greenery and serene water features. It created a magical atmosphere that added a special touch to our holiday celebration. The amenities at The Cascades were top-notch. The kitchen was a joy to cook in, equipped with everything we needed for our Christmas feast. The open living spaces allowed for quality family time, and the outdoor seating areas were perfect for enjoying the beautiful Australian summer. The thoughtful touches throughout the property, such as festive decorations and a welcoming ambience, made us feel right at home. The property owner's attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction truly set The Cascades apart. If you're looking for a peaceful and luxurious retreat in Sydney, I highly recommend The Cascades. A big thank you to the property owner for making our holiday truly special! ##### Quoc Linh N.

The photos do not capture how close you are to the bush and how the property is designed to enable you to take in the view, the sounds and the ambience of the bush from every room and living space. The ever present sounds of the cascades create a peaceful soundtrack to your stay. Add to that comfy beds, luxurious linen and towels, modern kitchen and appliances and fast wifi and you have the perfect getaway. And our dog loved it too!! ##### Richard d.

You can't see a single neighbour from the property, so it feels like you are million miles away surrounded by the bush and birds, while still being relatively close to Sydney. The Outdoor Spa, Fireplace and Firepit all got regular use. As well as the large deck overlooking the bush in the backyard. Sandy was an excellent and responsive host, and was happy to answer any questions we had. Would happily recommend this place. ##### Cameron E. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brittany D. 3 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This is the place to stay for a recharge. There is so much to do and explore on the property, and with grocery delivery and the close proximity of an Aldi, we really spent most of our time at the house relaxing and making core memories. The nature and wildlife were incredible and the sound of the waterfall and birds created a space that was magical. It is hard to believe that this place is less than an hour away from the airport! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9fe89810-5639-4327-9873-9265993001fb-1759532175216.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/bd956e47-c02c-460d-ad23-f961ecaa3765-1759532184221.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9f292257-9d93-42d1-89ac-311e02e34d0e-1759532184199.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3bf17e71-85b6-455c-a237-f0c8bce706a4-1759532184552.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Brittany D.
