Our Multi-Award Winning Hawkesbury Holiday Home

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.

~ A Stay Designed For Connection ~
We know travelling with children can sometimes feel stressful, which is why we’ve carefully thought about the little things that make family holidays easier and more enjoyable.

From comfortable beds you can truly sink into after a big day exploring, to spaces where kids can play while parents cook, relax or reconnect, every detail has been intentionally designed to feel warm, welcoming and effortless.
