The Polo Paddock Apartment on a Prestige Property on the Outskirts of Richmond

Paddock Apartment at Flat Hill Farm

Escape to the country and stay on a beautiful 30-acre estate on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, just moments from historic Richmond and under an hour from Sydney CBD.

The Paddock Apartment is a stylish, comfortable two-bedroom retreat designed for guests looking for a peaceful rural stay without sacrificing convenience. Surrounded by established gardens, paddocks, mature trees and open space, it offers the feeling of a genuine country escape while remaining close to cafés, restaurants, shops and local attractions.

The apartment has been thoughtfully designed and furnished specifically for short-stay accommodation, with a fresh contemporary interior, comfortable furnishings and everything required for an easy weekend away or longer stay.

Inside, guests will find two beautifully presented bedrooms with quality linen and comfortable bedding, making the apartment ideal for couples, friends, small families or guests visiting the Hawkesbury for events, weddings, polo, work or a relaxed country break.

The open-plan living and kitchen area is light, welcoming and easy to enjoy. The kitchen is well appointed for self-catering, with modern appliances, cookware, crockery, glassware and the everyday essentials needed to prepare breakfast, lunch or dinner at home.

Relax in the lounge after a day exploring the Hawkesbury, watch the Smart TV, enjoy the reverse-cycle air conditioning, or simply unwind and take in the peaceful farm surroundings.

The apartment is professionally cleaned between stays and presented with care, with an emphasis on comfort, cleanliness and relaxed country style.

Outside, guests have the benefit of spacious on-site parking and the atmosphere of a private rural estate. Flat Hill Farm is set across approximately 30 acres, with landscaped grounds, established trees, paddocks and expansive open spaces creating a beautiful backdrop throughout the year.

One of the great advantages of staying here is the combination of country tranquillity and accessibility.

Historic Richmond is only a few minutes away, where you can enjoy local cafés, bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets and specialty shopping. Windsor is also nearby, along with many of the attractions of the Hawkesbury region.

For those wanting to explore further afield, the property makes an excellent base for day trips to the Blue Mountains, Kurrajong, Bilpin and surrounding villages.

Spend the morning enjoying coffee in Richmond, explore the Blue Mountains during the day, then return to the quiet of the farm in the evening.

The Hawkesbury region is particularly beautiful for guests who enjoy scenic drives, heritage towns, country markets, gardens, horse country and relaxed weekends away from the city.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, Flat Hill Farm is conveniently located for guests attending local weddings, sporting events, polo, equestrian activities, family gatherings or business in the Richmond and Hawkesbury area.

The Paddock Apartment is especially well suited to guests who appreciate privacy and space. Rather than staying in a suburban apartment complex or hotel, you can return each day to the atmosphere of a genuine country property.

Flat Hill Farm offers something increasingly difficult to find close to Sydney: space, privacy and genuine rural atmosphere without being remote.

Wake to the sounds of the countryside, enjoy the changing light through the trees and take time away from the pace of the city. Whether you are staying for a quiet weekend, visiting family locally, attending an event or simply looking for somewhere beautiful to unwind, the Paddock Apartment provides a comfortable base from which to enjoy the Hawkesbury.

The property sits within one of Sydney’s most historic rural regions. Richmond itself dates back to the early colonial period and today combines heritage character with excellent cafés, restaurants and everyday conveniences.

Guests can easily explore nearby Kurrajong and Bilpin, head towards the Blue Mountains for bushwalking and sightseeing, or spend the day discovering the Hawkesbury’s local markets, nurseries, orchards and country villages.

For a slower stay, there is no need to venture far at all. Pick up breakfast or supplies in Richmond, return to the apartment and simply enjoy being surrounded by space and greenery.

Flat Hill Farm is a working rural property, and guests may see horses and normal farm activity during their stay. This is part of the character of the property and one of the reasons guests enjoy staying here.

The apartment itself remains a private and comfortable retreat.

We aim to provide the ease of professionally managed accommodation with the warmth and individuality of staying on a private country estate.

If you are looking for somewhere peaceful, beautifully presented and convenient to the Hawkesbury, Richmond and the Blue Mountains, the Paddock Apartment at Flat Hill Farm is a lovely place to call home during your stay.

As a guest of this apartment, you'll find barbecue grills, a garden, and laundry facilities. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Sydney apartment is smoke free.
