Description

Calabash Bay Lodge is a luxury retreat for the discerning traveller in a unique and exemplary location. Whatever the occasion, be it a romantic escape or a weekend getaway with friends, this absolute waterfront lodge is a beautiful place to relax and indulge.

Only 45 minutes north of the Sydney CBD, the azure water, pristine eucalypt bush and majestic sandstone cliffs of Berowra Waters will seduce you. This self-contained lodge offers 4 sumptuous bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and indoor and outdoor entertaining and lifestyle zones over 3 sun-drenched north-facing levels.

Being water-access only, the lodge is a private and exclusive sanctuary for guests to replenish, rejuvenate and recharge in this magical setting. With the recently toqued Berowra Waters Inn just down river, it’s a great gourmet destination to really spoil your lover or celebrate life with good friends. Or swap the boardroom for the lodge midweek for an unparalleled environment for creative retreats and strategy workshops.

Activities in Berowra Waters
It\'s great fun to zip around in the runabout over the weekend exploring Calabash Bay and Berowra Creek. At low tide, many bays reveal secret beaches perfect for a romantic picnic or game of beach cricket. Or you can kayak up neighbouring creeks in the early morning when the water is as flat as a pancake and the fish are jumping, in search of Aboriginal rock carvings along the shoreline.

You can also bushwalk into the adjoining Marramarra National Park straight from the back of the property, exploring the eerie ruins of an abandoned hotel from Federation times at the top of Calabash Point.

For the ultimate do nothing experience however, you can throw out a fishing line straight off our private pontoon, which has bream and flathead teeming underneath and is one of the best fishing spots north of Sydney.

A double kayak with lifejackets and fishing rods & equipment are provided at the Lodge for guest use.

Seaplane transfers
A wow factor arrival to Berowra Waters can be made with a splash via a return seaplane flight from Rose Bay or Palm Beach, with a red carpet landing right in front of the Lodge. The plane can even deliver you directly to the Lodge\'s private pontoon - so you can step out in style! We can offer you exclusive prices with our partner companies.

Fine dining at Berowra Waters
For the ultimate gourmet experience we highly recommend making a reservation at Berowra Waters Inn during your stay, which is only a short boat trip downriver and like the Lodge, is water-access only.

The Inn reopened late last year under the stewardship of Forty One head chef Dietmar Sawyere to widespread acclaim. It also recently won the Best New Restaurant toque in the Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide for 2008.

The Inn also provides VIP transfers for Calabash Bay Lodge guests to and from the restaurant in their private punt, so there\'s no need to worry about driving the lodge\'s boat back after a few wines. It also gives you carte blanche to enjoy all the matched wines accompanying the degustation-only menu.

There are also a number of other restaurants in Berowra Waters and its vicinity which are either accessible by boat, water taxi, or a short drive, including the Garden House, Waterview Restaurant and Peat\'s Bite. We are happy to make bookings on your behalf upon request.

We can also organise a fresh seafood platter, which is a good dinner option on the first night when all you feel like doing is relaxing in front of that view!

Very Late Check-out... our exclusive special offering

In our busy lives, a weekend away is a treasured opportunity to leave our everyday cares and stresses behind.

That’s why ALL our weekend packages include an exclusive Very Late Check-out option - that is, our rates include 3 nights, not just 2, so guests can arrive on Friday afternoon & check-out Monday morning.

As Calabash Bay Lodge is only a 45 minute drive from the Sydney CBD, that means you\'ll get TWO full days of relaxation, instead of rushing back to real life on Sunday morning. We think you should make every minute of your valuable weekend away count towards the ultimate in relaxation & indulgence.

How do I get here?

Calabash Bay Lodge is situated in Berowra Waters, at the southeast edge of the Hawkesbury region and only 45 minutes drive from the Sydney CBD via the F3 freeway, or 1 hour from Sydney\'s international and domestic airports. The Lodge is also reached easily from Sydney’s north-west and west via the M2 and M7 tollways, the Central Coast and from the Hunter Valley on a pleasant tourist drive via the old Pacific Highway.
