    Berowra (Northern Sydney), right on the edge of nature:

    Minutes walk to the Great North Walk
    Surrounded by bushland, birdlife, and scenic trails
    Easy access to local lookouts and guided experiences
    A quiet escape within reach of Sydney

    Ideal for nature lovers, bushwalkers, romantics or anyone needing to slow down and recharge.

    THE EXPERIENCE

    From poolside lazy days to relaxed dinners on the verandah, every detail is designed to help you switch off, recharge, and enjoy a slower pace—all in a private, nature-filled setting.

    The queen-sized bed is ultra plush with crisp white quality linens. The bedroom has an extra large wardrobe with plenty of hanging space with hangers provided plus drawer space. A pair of ultra plush thick white luxury bathrobes with slippers are also provided for your comfort and relaxation (lightweight cotton robes are provided in summer).

    The bathroom is spacious as is the shower with it's extra large generous shower head.

    This is a fabulous base for keen bushwalkers, bird watchers or those keen on wildlife watching. Maps of many local walks are in the cabana for your use. The local authorities also run accompanied walks to suit all fitness levels. The internet has plenty of information about all the local things to see in and around Berowra.

    If you are a foodie, the famous Berowra Waters Inn is a short 10 minutes drive down the mountain to Berowra Waters. Lunch (recommended for the view) or dinner overlooking the stunning Hawkesbury River is something you won’t forget. The restaurant offers free water taxi from the EAST wharf. Our guests receive a complimentary glass of champagne and 1/2 dozen oysters - value $100. Make sure you let them know you are our guests when booking to receive this offer. Yes!.. there are local ride services that operate in the area to take you to and from Berowra Waters.

    Amenities are all around you - if driving, you are 2 minutes from a supermarket and a range of speciality shops (Coles supermarket, doctor, pharmacy, hairdresser, butcher, cafes etc. It’s 10 minutes drive to a very large Westfield Shopping Centre in Hornsby, 25 minutes to the beaches and spectacular scenery of the Central Coast. Also down at Berowra Waters are a variety of spots to enjoy the waterside views, restaurants, fishing and boat hire plus there are a few cafes and restaurants on the water.

    There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance including Thai, Chinese, Italian plus Café fare.

    If you don't have a car, public transport is all around you - the Bus is just steps from the door, the train is an easy and flat 8 minutes walk. A few car hire companies will deliver a vehicle to the door and there is always Uber. If you are interested in getting out and about to do more than relaxing or bushwalking, a car is recommended.

    An interesting uniquely Australian day trip out is on the Riverboat Postman. This is a view into a unique Australian postman’s day. You will join his boat from nearby Brooklyn for lunch while he delivers mail and parcels to the residents of some local islands.

Private glam oasis!

Michelle was a great host and greeted us warmly when we arrived but ensured we had privacy during our stay. The accommodation was immaculate with high quality toiletries and lots of special touches. The kitchen was very well equipped too. Short drive to cafes, supermarkets and bushwalking. Lovely tranquil escape with the comforts of suburbia! Really appreciated the generous goodies Michelle had left for us too. Highly recommend for a solo traveller or couple.

Cozy Getaway

Michelle was very welcoming and you can see all the effort she’s put into making your stay a little bit extra with all the small touches she’s placed from the moment you step in. Although it rained on our last day, listening and being able to watch it in the comfort of the warm lounge room or bedroom made it worth while. Thank you Michelle again for everything. I would highly recommend staying here!

One Great Time Down Under!

This was an amazing trip and stay at Michelle’s guest house for myself and wife! The accommodations were awesome, but more then that was our host Michelle’s warm and welcoming family. We came from the US for the entire month of February and the nice warm weather was perfect for swimming in the beautiful pool. Everything you need is there, very clean and the queen sized bed was very comfortable for a great nights sleep. We were awakened each morning with the pretty songs that the Magpies sing. We didn’t rent a car, but the train station is a short walk away and we navigated easily to Sydney and the Blue Mountains just an hour away. I can’t say enough about the people of Australia, their kindness and compassion are inspiring. Our privacy was well respected by Michelle and her family, but we made new friends with these special people! We loved her hospitality and friendship! Thanks again for a wonderful trip to your special place and beautiful country. David and Gail Okemos, Michigan

Perfect relaxing weekend.

We had the best time making use of the pool and bbq area. It’s super clean looks exactly like the photos, everything was smooth and easy. We wanted a relaxing weekend by the pool and this place is perfect for that. We felt as if we had the place to ourselves with the hosts putting up a screen to separate the area from the main house. Thankyou for a lovely stay :)
