Escape the city and reconnect where childhood memories are made, campfires crackle under starry skies and parents finally get to relax. Welcome to Dido’s Place, an award-winning family escape on 9 private acres in the beautiful Hawkesbury, just 90 minutes from Sydney.
Created with families in mind, Dido’s Place is more than just a holiday home, it’s a place to slow down, spread out and truly enjoy time together.
Picture the kids spending hours outdoors digging for potatoes in the veggie patch, exploring the mining pit for treasure, roasting marshmallows around the campfire or settling in for cosy movie nights in the theatre room… while the adults unwind beneath a sky full of stars in the hot tub or curled up by the outdoor fire with a glass of wine in hand.
