Great getaway to unwind
Beautiful secluded property. Great to getaway and unwind with the family, really enjoyed our stay. With a fireplace and fire pit thought firewood would be provided, brought some of our own but ran out. No Milk frother to go with the pod coffee machine. Cleanliness sub par and sheets missing for main bed.

Gorgeous location and lovely home
The house is lovely and has various sleeping options. 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.

Exceptional Stay at The Cascades!
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!

Wonderful stay
We had a wonderful stay at Cascades. The property is absolutely beautiful and we felt at peace as soon as we checked in. The house was well equiped which was handy for our gathering. We loved being surrounded by nature while we soaked in the hot tub and sat by the fire pit. Great bird watching in the morning too. Thank you Sandy.

Rural vibes close to Sydney
The house and grounds are beautiful and private. 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.

Beautiful getaway for a group of friends!
My friends and I absolutely loved our time staying in this beautiful house. We made sure to make use of everything the property had to offer. From the cozy fireplace, the clean cut kitchen, the beautiful outdoor fire pit to the warm hot tub during sunset. It was amazing and Sandy was always swift to respond to any queries I had. Can't wait to stay there again!

Secluded and serene
This property was everything it promised to be from the photos and more! 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!!
