### RiverTreehouse Escape
(15 Calabash Point, formerly 8 DustHole Pt)
With linen and towels provided it's so easy to take a break and reset at our RiverTreehouse, Berowra Waters.
Only one hour's drive from Sydney CBD on the beautiful Hawkesbury River.
As soon as you step foot onto Berowra Waters marina, you'll feel relaxed. And at Dusthole Point you could be a million miles from anywhere!
Our property includes an contemporary kitchen with Concreate benchtop, woodburner fireplace, flyscreens, ceiling fans, an additional outdoor shower, plush new carpet and fresh paintwork.
This spectacular property features extensive use of timber and glass, to take advantage of the sunny Northern aspect and stunning water views. It is tucked away behind beautiful casuarinas in a tiny sheltered bay, but is literally 5 minutes away from Berowra Waters marina.
Access to the property is by boat from the marina at 199 Bay Road, Berowra Waters (which we arrange for you as part of the booking fee) The parking is free at the marina.
You can visit wonderful local restaurants during your stay through pre-arranged private boat hire (additional fees apply) and have free use of our tinny for 1.5km up/down the river. It is a 4-knot zone so all boats travel slowly and no licence is required\*.
We promise you it will be an amazing experience!
REVIEW: "I just wanted to give some feedback now that we are back in the UK. Patrick was an amaaaaaazing guy who went out of his way to make our stay fantastic! Your house was beautiful and the highlight of my holiday and we stayed in some pretty spectacular places so that is saying something! I reckon we may well be in touch to stay with you again next time we are in Sydney." Lisa, April 2018
