4-bedroom bush & beach retreat, easy 90-min commute to Sydney universities

Description

We are a retired couple - former journalist and IT-guy - who mainly worked in broadcasting. We are looking for anyone interesting in a quiet writing retreat, a holiday in nature with friends or family or exciting outdoor challenges - or all three. Bushwalks abound - especially in Bouddi National Park - ranging from pre-dinner walks with stunning views (1 hr front door to front door) to the 12 kilometre (one-way) Bouddi Coastal Walk to Box Head at the mouth of the mighty Hawkesbury River. Other activities include cafes and restaurants, cinema, live music, art galleries, whale watching from land or sea, surfing, swimming, kayaking, bike or horse riding, ice skating, high ropes and more. Coffee, dinner (Fri and Sun) and live music (Thurs) at the surf club is highly recommended. Copacabana - at the other end of our beach - has cafes and shops, a kids rock pool as well as the Prime Minister's recently-purchased home. The walk home via the lagoon is a delight. Our house has often been used in the school holidays for WFH or commuting to Sydney. Universities in Sydney are 90-110 mins by car (depending on destination and time of day) or 70 mins by train from Woy Woy to Central Station. It is wonderful, after a hard days work, to come home to a beach holiday. Rejuvenation without taking leave!
