The stay includes access to a private boat for transport to the marina and local shops. Surrounded by the majesty of national parks and framed by timeless Sydney sandstone, Calabash Bay is an exquisite blend of natural beauty and bespoke comfort. Every bedroom and all living areas orient towards the shimmering riverfront, creating a seamless connection to the tranquil rhythms of nature. There is also option to include, as an extra, an onsite private chef. Ensuring every moment by the water is savoured to its fullest potential. Days at Calabash Bay Lodge promise a symphony of relaxation and recreation. Glide across the glassy waters by kayak and uncover secluded beaches that surface like hidden gems at low tide. Embark on stand-up paddle boarding adventures or indulge your senses with a private yoga session on the rooftop wellness studio, where the river becomes your serene backdrop. For a simpler, yet equally indulgent experience, take a rejuvenating swim directly from the jetty. The charm of Calabash Bay transcends the seasons. During cooler months, the lodge transforms into a cocoon of warmth and elegance. Curl up by the crackling open log fire, sink into plush armchairs with a book, or retreat to the tranquility of a hammock or hanging chair on one of the private decks. With ample spaces designed for intimate gatherings or quiet moments of solitude, the lodge ensures every guest feels a sense of harmony and rejuvenation.
