Summary:

Reibey Estate sits just outside Sydney, where open paddocks roll into bushland. Matilda Cottage 1 by Tiny Away puts you right in the middle of it.



Gather around the fire pit as the sun drops behind the tree line, wander the walking trails through the estate, and get acquainted with the animals that call this place home. It's agritourism at its most relaxed. A genuine countryside reset for couples who need the city a little further away.

The Space:

Woodlands Hideaway at Reibey Estate by Tiny Away sits above the stables and lower paddocks of Reibey Estate, with the Colo River framing the view straight ahead. It's an outlook that stops you mid-coffee and keeps you there longer than planned. In the rural suburb of Lower Portland, just 1 hour 15 minutes from Sydney, the cottage puts the countryside within easy reach.



Paddocks, bushland, animals going about their day, and a fire pit ready for the evening. Day trips to Hawkins Lookout, Colo River Rock, and Fagan Park are all short by for those who want to push further into the region. Hawkesbury Lookout is another worth the short drive.



The 139-square-foot tiny home includes water access, split air conditioning, a kitchenette, cooking gear, and a private bathroom with a gas-heated shower, hand basin, and eco-friendly cassette toilet.



IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're booking for a group, we also have a second tiny home, "Matilda Cottage 2 by Tiny Away," available with 24 hours' notice, ensuring you have even more cozy holiday homes to enjoy.



Guest Access:

Woodlands Hideaway at Reibey Estate and its immediate surroundings are yours to enjoy fully. The main homestead is a private residence, so the tiny house and its outdoor spaces are your own dedicated retreat for the stay.



The Neighborhood:

Sitting at the junction of the Colo and Hawkesbury rivers, this corner of NSW is farming properties, bushland, and river country through and through. The historic Lower Portland Ferry, one of only four still crossing the Hawkesbury, is exactly the kind of local detail that tells you you've landed somewhere worth slowing down in.



Woodlands Hideaway at Reibey Estate is 1 hour and 15 minutes from Sydney, though the region gives you plenty of reasons to stay put. Hawkins Lookout and Hawkesbury Lookout both deliver wide views across the valley. Colo River Rock is a short hike away and one of those spots that tends to stick with people. Fagan Park is worth an afternoon if you want something a little more laid back.



Paradise Cafe & Pizzeria takes care of food and drinks when you need them. Head to Windsor Shopping Center before you arrive to stock up on groceries and anything else for the stay.
