RiverTreehouse Escape <br>(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

A much needed holiday
The property was well kept and the owners where on the ball with any inquiries I had, although I would advise updating their kitchen equipment and having a maintenance check on the yellow tinneys engine and electrical systems as we had it fail on us a few times. Otherwise we had an absolutely great getaway

Superb location and house
It doesn’t get much better than this! The house was agorgeous with amazing views from each room, comfortable beds and common areas. The owners even replaced the tv while we were there as the previous people had mentioned it wasn’t working! Very well stocked for kitchen utensils. We loved fishing off the pontoon and using the tinnie for short trips up the river. Transfers to and from the house were very easy- Col was a great source of local information. Highly recommend going to Berowra Waters Inn for lunch while you’re there- we were picked up from our pontoon and delivered back after the fantastic lunch.

Relaxing time away in a beautiful property
The pickup by Col went without issue and takes no longer than 10 mins. The house itself was beautiful, with plenty of cooking basics available (no milk). It was a very hot weekend however the fans and breeze was more than adequate to ensure max comfort in the house. The outlook is really something, much time was spent on the balcony gazing into the distance whilst enjoying beer, wine and snacks. Mozzie repellent definitely required during our stay which we brought with us, however there was mozzie coils at the house which were used when sitting outside. Is the place too big for a weekend away for 2? Probably, but it's most definitely comfortable and I'd certainly book again. Thanks Col & Nic.

Warm & Cozy treehouse
The weekend started with meeting Col and he was absolutely delightful. The house as stated is amongst the trees and on a cold rainy weekend it has a beautiful outlook with a roaring fireplace to keep us warm. Needed for nothing as everything was provided. Thankyou

The kids and I had the best time at the tree house. Despite the weather we were able to squeeze in a couple of adventures up and down the river in the tinny! Thanks Nic, we had the best time.

Tree tops Berowra Waters
The location was just perfect, the house was fun/different & well stock with cooking utensils, crockery etc although too few wine glasses. Colin was obliging & efficient when we met him. The issues that made it less than perfect are: 1. the contact persons need to pick up the phone when they are contacted during our stay 2. the pick up & drop off needs to be on time (we waited for more than an hour) 3. some of the equipment is below standard & made us at times feel not so confident eg: life jackets, reliability of the tinny/run about 4. dryer, throw about/wraps, fans & ornaments need to be dusted or cleaned Thank you Juanita
