School Holidays & Summer Fun at Wisemans Retreat

Summer is here, and the school holidays are the perfect excuse to escape the city and soak up the sun at Wisemans Retreat! Nestled on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, our 54-room retreat is the ultimate spot for families, friends, and couples to relax, explore, and make memories that last a lifetime.

Fun for the Whole Family

School holidays are all about giving kids space to play and parents time to unwind—and we’ve got both covered. From riverside adventures to lush gardens, there’s something for everyone:

• Poolside fun – splash, swim, and relax while the kids enjoy the sun

• Riverside adventures – paddleboards, kayaks, and fishing for the little explorers

• Outdoor games – cricket, lawn games, and room to run and play freely

• Bushwalks and nature trails – explore the beauty of Dharug National Park just minutes from the property

Nestled on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, Wisemans Retreat captures the magic of nature at its finest. The lush greenery of Dharug National Park forms a dramatic backdrop, while our landscaped gardens and riverside lawns provide the perfect canvas for your ceremony and wedding photography.

Just an hour from Sydney, our destination wedding venue feels blissfully removed from the bustle of the city. Guests can escape to the countryside without the hassle of long-distance travel — making Wisemans Retreat an ideal choice for couples seeking a luxurious yet relaxed weekend wedding close to home.
