Riverside Escape
Relax on your own deck and watch the river come to life at work and at play.

Explore the river in the runabout or double kayak and swim or picnic at some of the secluded beaches along the shores.

Try your luck at fishing either in the boat or off the seawall at the property. You can cook your catch on the bbq or dine at one of the three local restaurants available here.

The Waterview Restaurant - at the Berowra Waters Marina, western side - has a great seafood smorgasbord on Friday and Saturday nights (sometimes includes all the wine you can drink!)
The Bistro is open for fish and chips, great coffee, and weekend breakfasts - it is on the ground level below Waterview Restaurant.
Peat's Bite Restaurant is about 15 minutes downriver, accessible only by boat. Absolutely worth a visit.

Alternatively you can order in a seafood platter to have at your leisure on the deck.

All restaurant bookings or platter orders can be arranged on your behalf.

Bring your walking shoes and explore the bush and fauna on The Great North Walk which passes through Berowra Waters.
There are a couple of walks to choose from ranging from 60 minutes or 30 minutes depending on how fit you are or how much of the bush you want to see. What out for the locals either goannas, bush turkeys, lyre birds, sea eagles or kites to name just a few.

What an adventure this is and only 45 minutes from Sydney CBD if you drive and 20 minutes if you decide to take a Seaplane and arrive in style!!

**'My wife and I stayed here on our wedding night and after an extremely comfortable stay we woke to a breathtaking view across the river which also felt very private, and was a great start to married life!
Barbara was very friendly and even helped organise some roses in the room, which my wife loved.
We have decided we will be back each year on our anniversary, and recommend to anyone for a relaxing and comfortable stay.
Thanks again Barbara!, great place.'
