Mary
'The Folly' is boutique accommodation, which as it's name implies, a frivolous blend of the practical and the interesting. Fresh, open, bright and picturesque. Recently completed this 80sq metre space is a stand alone, fully functioning small home which is surrounded by gardens, provides several car parking spaces and is set on a quiet, no through road. Built in the semi rural Hills District suburb of Glenorie, which is only 45 minutes from the CBD of Sydney, this fresh, bright and tranquil space offers 2 bedrooms, each with a queen sized bed, which can accommodate up to 4 people.
The hosts, Mary and Peter live in the main house which is located about 40 metres from 'The Folly'. They will be available if needed but the Folly is designed to run independently to provide privacy for the guests. Keypad access to 'The Folly'
The Folly is 3 minutes drive from Glenorie and the well known Glenorie Bakery, 6 minutes from Galston which provides many cafes and restaurants, 13 minutes to Berowra Waters and 30 minutes to Wiseman's Ferry and Windsor. For those interested in shopping Castle Hill and Hornsby are each 25 minutes away while Dural, which is only 8 minutes drive offers a buzzing village experience. Within the region guests can enjoy the magnificent Fagan Park, hire a boat at Berowra or among other things, enjoy the great outdoors bushwalking on the many tracks.
