Encircled by pristine eucalypt bushland and the ancient sandstone cliffs fronting onto the Hawkesbury River at Berowra Waters, Calabash Bay Lodge resides at the apex of three national parks at an absolute waterfront and boat/seaplane access only location just 1 hour north of Sydney.
With floor to ceiling glass to take in the stunning views of the Hawkesbury sandstone cliffs, replete with ghost gums and angophora costatas, and changing moods year round to enjoy from the intimate relaxation spaces across its 3 levels, Calabash Bay Lodge is a stunning destination - far enough to disconnect, yet close enough to not spend all your time getting there.
As more of us seek unique, experiential, private and exclusive travel experiences, Calabash Bay Lodge delivers a serene setting in which to celebrate life, reconnect with nature, or bring the whole family together.
Year round there’s plenty to do and see:
- Enjoy a 5 course lunch or dinner with the Lodge's private chef in one of 8 possible dining spaces
