Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home

Just 90 minutes from Sydney, Dido's Place is our multi-award-winning Hawkesbury family holiday home sleeping up to 11 guests plus an infant/s, 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 during the Winter months, 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.

Dido's Place has been recognised through multiple tourism and business awards and is rated among Airbnb's top-performing homes, with more than 100 five-star guest reviews across our hosting journey. 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?"
