GENERAL INFORMATION

Getting 'UP River'

There are so many fun alternatives. As UP RIVER RETREAT is water access only, you can BYO boat, hire a boat from one of the many nearby marinas, or the easiest alternative is to catch a water taxi from Kangaroo Point. Kangaroo Point is where the F3 Freeway crosses the Hawkesbury River just 20 mins up the F3 freeway north from Hornsby (Hornsby is approx. 40 mins from the CBD). After a 10 minute boat trip up river you can be relaxing on your balcony on Friday evening after work to watch the sunset.

If you bring your own boat (max. 20 ft) you can launch it at Kangaroo Point or at the boat launch ramp beside the Hawkesbury River Bridge. You have your own boat mooring on the shared jetty beside your retreat. Contact us for details.

If using the water taxi you need to book it in advance by phoning Hawkesbury River Water Taxi on . At the same time you may wish to enquire about a package deal from the water taxi company. This includes to and from in the water taxi and your own runabout mored at your jetty to be used throughout your stay to explore the river and its many beaches or lunch at a riverside restaurant. Marine Cabs on also provides a water taxi service.
