"Honestly the perfect Airbnb for young families. Nila has put so much thought into making the stay perfect, and really goes the extra mile. Changing mats, potties, cots, the best play room and so much more. It really took away a lot of the stresses of travelling with kids. And plenty for the adults to enjoy too. The fire pit was a real winner for our group! Thank you so much Nila, we couldnโ€™t recommend your place more and would love to return again soon!" - Bec

This review from Bec absolutely made our day.

As parents ourselves, we know that travelling with little ones can sometimes feel like moving house for a weekend. Cots, potties, changing mats, baby baths, monitors, toys, books, activities... the list goes on.

That's exactly why we created Dido's Place differently.

From the moment you arrive, so much of what young families need is already here. No overpacking. No trying to squeeze half the nursery into the car. No stressing about how you'll keep the kids entertained.

Instead, little ones can explore the playroom, search for fairy doors, mix up magic potions, dig for treasure in the mining zone, jump on the trampoline, fish in the dam or simply enjoy the freedom of nine acres.

And while the kids are busy, Mum and Dad can finally enjoy a holiday too, whether that's relaxing in the hot tub, gathering around the campfire, curling up on the outdoor lounge with a glass of wine or simply enjoying a quiet coffee while the children play in the garden.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Bec. Knowing we've helped make family holidays easier, more relaxing and more enjoyable is exactly what we aim to do at Dido's Place. โค๏ธ

๐ŸŽจ Creative Family Art Experience In Windsor NSW โœจ

This weekend we tried the beautiful Family Art Experience at Artfulness in Windsor and honestly, what a special way to spend a Saturday morning in the Hawkesbury.

For 2โ€“3 hours, we painted together as a family, experimented with colours and textures, laughed a lot and slowly watched our giant blank canvas come to life.

No artistic experience needed.
No screens.
No rushing.

Just quality family time and a beautiful oversized artwork weโ€™ll soon hang on our wall at home. A lasting reminder of our Hawkesbury weekend away.

Afterwards, we headed down to Clarendon Tavern for a relaxed family pub lunch, which honestly made for the perfect Hawkesbury Saturday.

This is exactly the kind of experience we love sharing with guests at Didoโ€™s Place, not just accommodation, but meaningful Hawkesbury experiences families will remember long after the weekend ends. This is what family time is truly all about.

โœจ BONUS โœจ
Guests staying at Didoโ€™s Place receive a $50 Artfulness voucher towards their own creative experience. Enquire at Artfulness au.

My favourite time of the week would have to be Sunday afternoons in the garden ๐Ÿ’š. There is something truly special about harvesting homegrown fruit and vegetables with the kids.

There is no sense of time, just nature and no better place to be than at Dido's Place.
