Local restaurants

Berowra Waters Inn - newly re-opened and re-appointed by Dietmar Sawyere (Level 41 in Sydney). Superb fine dining.

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.

Berowra Waters Garden House is on the opposite side of the river, right next to the car ferry. They have a mixture of Korean, Japanese and Australian a la carte menu.

Peat's Bite Restaurant is about 15 minutes downriver, accessible only by boat. Absolutely worth a visit. Go to .

Things to do....

Kayak - use the double kayak to explore little creeks, bays, access isolated beaches, get fit, just relax....
Fishing - some fishing gear provided for the novice, serious fishermen should bring their own. Catch bream from the pontoon. Bigger fish further down river.

  • "We had a wonderful weekend at The River House- such a sanctuary so close to Sydney. The house is beautiful, light, airy and the garden is stunning. The kitchen is a foodies heaven- and Sue's generous attitude to pantry basics was much appreciated for a short trip away. Berowra Waters is a real find- and this house is the pick of the bunch!"
