Conveniently located on Sydney's north west doorstep in the "lowlands" region of the upper Hawkesbury Valley - a little pocket of paradise only 4 minutes drive from Windsor and just over a 1 hour drive from the Sydney city centre.
The surrounding area is a flat rural picturesque patchwork of citrus orchards, small agricultural farms, turf farms, equestrian stud farms and polo fields.
Cornwallis House is a grand and charming two storey Queenslander style house blending with its surroundings perfectly. The interior is contemporary and stylish, creating an atmosphere of elegant comfort and total relaxation.
This house provides guests with a level of comfort, space, privacy and relaxation unmatched in the area.
WE ALSO ALLOW WEDDINGS. REQUEST A QUOTE.
ENTERTAINING:
Cornwallis House was designed with entertaining in mind. There are two levels of outdoor space, upstairs and downstairs, with multiple outdoor settings and places to relax and dine outdoors. It's perfect for small groups who like to stay in and cook for themselves, spending quality time together relaxing with a few drinks over long lazy meals.
We allow guests to invite extra family or friends to visit during their stay, however there are limits and venue hire fees may apply, depending on the numbers and your requirements. Please ask us about this when you enquire, and remember that honesty is the best policy.
INDOOR ENTERTAINMENT:
On the days when the weather is not so good you'll find shelves of new paperback novels, stacks of magazines, over 200 DVDs to watch or CD's to listen to, a Wii games console with adult & childrens games, as well as a large variety of board games & card games to play, as well as a full size table tennis in the large multi purpose room downstairs.
OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES:
When you're feeling active we have 8 adult and 2 childrens bikes with helmets for you to use. You can choose to go for a ride along the quiet country lanes exploring the Cornwallis "lowlands" area, or you could go for a relatively flat ride into town Windsor along a new bike path, where you'll find an ice cream shop, an old fashioned lolly shop plus lots of cafes, restaurants, pizzerias, pubs, and shops.
HAPPY KIDS, HAPPY PARENTS, HAPPY HOLIDAY.....
Our guests tell us how glorious it is not to hear their children say the dreaded 2 words..."I'm bored". There's always something to keep them happy and occupied. There is a small cubby house for younger children, acres of grounds and lawn for outdoor games such as volleyball, cricket, baseball, soccer, badminton, croquet and boules. We also have an orchard full of orange trees to pick the fruit from in season. In summer we have an inflatable water slide for the toddlers see image in the photo gallery and two "slip n slides". We also have loads of childrens DVDs and board games and toys for babies and younger children. There's loads of child and teenage friendly places and activities in the area.
