“We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at the Cottage on the Australia Day long weekend. Being literally “on” the river and being able to walk down to the pontoon and jump straight onto your boat, fish and swim was a truly amazing experience. The Studio was very comfortable, clean and cosy. We took great delight in using the BBQ and having a few cocktails and dinner in the outdoor dining area. Your attention to detail such as the well provisioned kitchen, stocking of essentials and WIFI were very much appreciated. Our afternoon at “Peats Bite” would have to go down as the highlight of the weekend. Thank you and we look forward to visiting you again in the near future.”

We stayed in the Cottage instead of the Studio as Sue thought we’d be more comfortable and it was available. Sue was an excellent communicator and everything was really easy. We loved our stay. Right on the water, gorgeous views and watching the world float by! Our dog loved it too. So enjoyable taking the tinny up the creek (which is a huge body of water, much more than your average creek!).

Perfect stay on the river

We had an amazing time at the studio. The place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The deck is amazing to relax and read a book or to just soak in the beautiful nature all around. From pickup to drop off our host was super friendly and very helpful. She sorted out a bbq package for us for our second evening as there aren’t any restaurants open on Sunday evening on the river. In our top 3 best stays ever and we absolutely plan to come again.

Perfect getaway on the water

The perfect spot to unwind and relax. Our host Sue has catered for everything and nothing was a problem. Sue has all bases covered and if you think of something I'm sure Sue will help out. Having access to the boat was great as was just poking around the river on the canoes. We had lunch at the Chef's Secret and highly recommend that if staying here. Breakfast at the Cafe at the Marina was possibly the best 'big breakkie' I've had. All in all a 10/10 spot and the studio was perfect for a couple. We really enjoyed being tucked up in bed and watching a big storm and light show blow over. I caught a few fish right off the pontoon making for a fresh dinner one night. The online pictures are a good indication of what to expect. I highly recommend Berowra Waters Holidays and Sue is a great host.

A waterfront gem

Our stay at the studio was absolutely sublime. Days were spent either taking the tinny to secluded, private beaches along the river, fishing off the pontoon, or bobbing along the water in one of the provided kayaks (with my two dogs on board as well, another two fans!). We brought groceries with us and the kitchen was perfectly stocked for us to make everything we needed to. Our final night, we had grilled flathead in the barbecue that my husband caught that morning. Even when the weather conditions are less than ideal, you can curl up on the huge patio and play card games while you watch the water flow by. Keep a look out for the resident possum and her baby on her back as well! I also came across my first ever python which was a cool (if heart-racing!) experience in itself. We will definitely be back.

Happy fisherman

We enjoyed our stay - my husband enjoyed the fishing and location of the property, being directly on waterfront was a bonus. We had gorgeous weather. Suited myself as a non fisherman for a short stay as it is access by boat only. We found it very quiet and although the restaurants weren’t operating we had good supplies and the outdoor bbq was used often. Was a bonus being allowed to take out fur baby with a gate keeping him contained.

Studio apartment is a let down

The bathroom/toilet is outside the apartment. Had that been explained on the website, we'd have never chosen this accommodation. There are no bedside lamps or light switches near the bed. So, going to the toilet in the dark in an uknown environment turned out to be a real nightmare. I had to first make sure not to bump into any peace of the furniture as I stumbled towards the front door where the light switches are located. Going out onto the terrace meant getting wet because it has been pouring with rain most of the time. The area around the toilet is not well lit and it was difficult to open the door (probably because that type of door is not designed for the wet and humid weather). By the time I'd have gotten back to bed, I was wide awake. To top that up, the tin roof doesn't have whatsoever insulation and the noise created buy possums running up and down the roof was keeping us awake too. On a brite side, the terrace is great and offers a breathtaking view of Hawkesbury River, and staff are realy friendly. We gave two stars because what should have been a fantastic and relaxing holiday (and a present for my husband's birthday), it turned out to be a real let down. The shortfalls are significant, thus the accommodation is overpriced.

Response from VrboOwner on Dec 20, 2021
Hi Ivana, I'm so sorry you did not enjoy your stay at the Studio. I know we had a chat about the Studio on check out and I did address the issues with you then, which I will summarise again just for the readers seeing you have chosen to put them up here: 1. The night light usually in the bathroom was broken or taken by the last guests and we didn't have time to replace it. New one now in place. 2. Yes the bathroom is four steps out of the Studio which most people do not mind as it offers more privacy however if you have to get up three or four times during the night that can be an issue. 3. No side lamp as there are hanging lamps. 4. There is a roof over the entrance to the bathroom to shelter you from the rain. Unfortunately we cannot control the weather. 5. Yes the roof is a tiny roof and not insulated from the noise of nature. We received $390 per night for your four night stay which not only included accommodation with stunning river views and huge deck, but a fully motorised tinny (to hire per day would cost $170), kayaks (to hire per day would cost $70 each), SUP ( to hire per day would cost $70), fishing rods and items for a continental breakfast each morning. Not to mention a private pontoon out the front to swim from, an outdoor lounge to lay on the deck and a gas BBQ to cook on. I'm sorry that you felt this accommodation is overpriced but I don't think it could be any cheaper. The Berowra Waters Studio offers a unique, water access only experience which suits most people who stay here. Yes it is not 'luxury' but it is not marketed that way. In hindsight perhaps the Berowra Waters Cottage might have been more suitable for you and your husband if you have to get up numerous times during the night.

Hi Chris, I'm sorry that you did not enjoy your stay. My neighbours are generally very quiet but I suppose given the awful year we have had and the fact that it was New Years Eve - I suppose a party is not out of the question. I have never had a complaint about the septic smell but I wish you had called me as I would have popped over to see where it was coming from. I have not had any issues at all since you left so not sure what or where the smell was coming from. Have a great 2021 and stay safe! Cheers Sue
