Don’t forget to focus on the important reasons why you’re away – to relax and let yourself reclaim your sense of contentment and peace. Chill out with a good book or magazine, watch a movie, or just savour the atmosphere waterside in our hanging pod, on the Brazilian hammock under the shade of our jacaranda tree, or our French striped deck chairs. Or spend the afternoon lazing on the B&B Italia day bed on the upstairs terrace, soaking up the magical atmosphere of life on the waterfront from above.
Do some morning yoga on the lawn or on the upstairs sun terrace

For a fine dining experience, plan to visit the Berowra Waters Inn during your stay. This degustation menu only restaurant is only a short boat trip downriver and like Calabash Bay Lodge, is water-access only. The Inn also provides complimentary boat transfers for Calabash Bay Lodge guests to and from the restaurant in their private punt. It also gives you the opportunity to enjoy the matched wines accompanying the degustation-only menu.
Dining at the Inn is a weekend only affair – with openings for lunch Friday through Sunday and dinner offered on Friday & Saturday nights. Lunch tables especially do book out several months in advance, so reservations in advance are essential and also recommended for dinner.
Peat’s Bite is a secluded riverside restaurant which like Calabash Bay Lodge, is accessible only by boat or seaplane. With its extensive views across to Bar Island and the Hawkesbury River conjunction with Berowra Creek, Peat’s Bite is an especially scenic spot to while away an afternoon, serving relaxed modern Australian fare in a tapas style degustation. Live music also entertains diners until it’s time to wend your way back onto the boat for the ride home. It’s been a home away from home for local boating types for many years – you never know who you might bump shoulders with at the bar! Peat’s Bite is open Saturday and Sunday for lunch only.
Peats Bite offer their own boat transport from Calabash Bay Lodge, which is an additional $35 per person return. While there is the extra expense of “getting there”, it’s quite the thrill and experience to travel by boat to a water-access only location.
At the Berowra Waters Marina, you’ll also find a café open for casual dining daytime only, the speciality is fish and chips being by the waterfront!
