Cabbage Tree Cottage @ Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages

PROPERTY SETTING:
Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages is conveniently close to Sydney yet you couldn’t feel more removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life once you arrive. Set on 40 acres of pristine land near Kurrajong, in the Hawkesbury area, we are tucked away in the foothills of the Blue Mountains. This is the perfect place for anyone looking to relax in the peace and tranquillity of the rainforest, listening to the birds and the running water of the creek. Take a walk to enjoy the natural beauty of the wild, bushland that abounds, sip fine wine picked up on your day’s travel into the valley or sit by the open fire listening to your favourite music; do as much or as little as you like.

THE COTTAGE:
Cabbage Tree Cottage, named after the towering palm beside it, is a traditional settler-style log cabin with two bedrooms (a queen and a twin). Fresh linen and towels are provided and the beds have electric blankets. There's a basic kitchenette and private BBQ to cater for simple meals. The cottage boasts open fire and air-conditioning/heating as well as a double bath with jets. Go exploring down the creek behind the cottage, or simply look out from your veranda across the picturesque lawn taking in the beauty of the wilderness.

THE PROPERTY:
Cabbage Tree Cottage is one of five secluded, private, self-contained rustic cabins, each in their own separate area of forest on the property. They are available individually or as a group for up to 24 people. A tennis court is available for use up the hill at the main house.

Pets welcome by arrangement.

SIGHTS:
Nearby attractions include the beautiful botanical gardens of Mt Tomah, quaint Kurrajong village, Richmond markets and the historic Windsor all within 10 to 30 mins drive and well worth a visit. On our doorstep are two World Heritage National Parks, the Blue Mountains and the Wollomi, not to mention the Grose River ideal for a quick swim, or the mighty Hawkesbury River for more.

Perfect getaway
This was our second stay at Hidden Valley & we enjoyed the stay just as much as the first time. It’s the perfect getaway from the city. No phones, a good book, radio & some dvds. Also a great pet friendly spot. Fiona our host was lovely & came by to welcome us. Highly recommend a weekend getaway here or even a bit longer.

Perfect getaway
I loved every bit of our stay at Cabbage Tree Cottage. If you are after some time away to rest, switch off, digital detox and spend time with nature this is the place. The Cottage was cosy and delightful with everything you need, the bed was so comfortable, the indoor fire of a night was a treat while playing cards and board games and the outdoor fire pit was nice to watch the stars. The sound of the birds, the visiting ducks, the stream running alongside the cottage, the sound of the wind in the trees was very relaxing. Cabbage Tree Cottage was very secluded. Fiona is a terrific host. We didn't need to leave the Cottage because we just enjoyed being in such a beautiful place. Highly recommend a visit to Cabbage Treet Cottage and we will definitely be back!

Quietude. Solace. Peace.
It was exactly what I needed. Clean, comfortable in a deep gorge, with a eucalypt forest up one side and a rainforest up the other. Went bush bashing down that creek for a few hours the first day and spent the rest of my time with my feet up in the sunshine, or next to that huge fireplace with a pile of books. Loved it! I’ll be back next year. Thanks guys!

A perfect city escape
We had a beautiful weekend in the Cabbage Tree Cottage. Lots of time was spent on the front porch, reading and birdwatching and just enjoying the beautiful green surroundings. The open fire and lounges were cosy and perfect for the Winter nights. The beds are also super comfy. We also enjoyed the walk along the creek, which is beautiful. Fiona is an excellent host. Great communication and very helpful. We'll be back for sure!

Relaxing Weekend Away
Myself and two mates arrived Friday afternoon and had a very relaxing evening by the fire. The following day we went for a short hike down toward the Grose Vale River from the nearest lookout. The remainder of the day was for relaxing in the sun by the cabin, exploring the small river running through the property and having a BBQ dinner beside the fire. The host was accommodating prior to arrival and we had our privacy whilst staying there. I will go back.

Lovely, quiet location, surrounded by bush.
We loved this property for its old-fashioned charm, quiet surroundings and serene outlook. We would like to see an update to some of the furnishings though. Whilst the cottage is charming, some of the furnishings are damaged or worn out. For example, the jet bath is very old and cracked all through; a modern shower and/or bath is essential. Apart from needing a freshen up, the cottage is a wonderful place to get away from the city. It is very quiet, comfortable and serene; the beds are conducive to a good nights' sleep, and there is plenty of room for pets to run. A breakfast hamper would be a nice touch.

Just what the doctor ordered!
My partner and I had a such amazing and peaceful experience. It was just so nice to get back to basics, have some technology downtime and enjoy the surroundings. The property had all we needed. We did a couple of lovely hikes over the weekend and enjoyed an afternoon at Hillbilly Cider. Highly recommend this property if you’re looking to get out of the city!!

Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages as magical in 2019 as back in 2001!
My wife and I spent a delightful and relaxing 5 nights at Cabbage Tree Cottage with our 16 1/2 year old son and our black lab. The latter two both loved the open space around the cottage and the surrounding bush, and my wife and I were delighted to find Hidden Valley Retreat Cottages was as magical today as it was when we last stayed there in 2001, the year before our son was born, and with our dear old black lab. Thank you so much, Fiona and Kevin, for your wonderful cottages.
