About Berowra Waters Inn

Reachable solely by boat or seaplane, this two-hatted Hawkesbury riverfront refuge trades city clatter for sandstone cliff views and unhurried degustation dining. Patrons settle in for a leisurely multi-hour rhythm framed by floor-to-ceiling glass and tranquil waters. The kitchen works through thoughtful native and regional produce, opening with fresh Hawkesbury prawn alongside lime before advancing to crab balanced with miso and onion, mulloway in oyster velouté, and an inventive riff on Tooheys Old for dessert.

  • Water-only arrival: Arrival is limited entirely to watercraft or seaplanes gliding up to the private dock.
  • Native-led tasting menu: Multi-hour courses feature Hawkesbury prawn, crab with miso, and regional wine pairings.
  • Secluded river sanctuary: Expansive glass panels look out over quiet river bends and sandstone bushland.

  • Curated Native Australian Degustation

    A dedicated multi-course degustation highlights regional and native Australian ingredients paired seamlessly with curated Australian wines.

    This restaurant represents what Australian cuisine is to such a high level. The food was all delicious, interesting and thoughtful, focusing on native ingredients in a way that is harmonious with fine dining techniques rather than feeling forced.

    The kitchen and sommelier team smoothly adjust multi-course tasting menus to accommodate specific dietary requirements and allergies without compromising quality.

    the restaurant had no problems adjusting the degustation menu for a celiac (3 of the dishes were either replaced or adjusted).

  • Bespoke Tasting Menu Adaptations

    The kitchen seamlessly tailors its multi-course tasting menu to dietary requirements, replacing or adapting dishes without friction for celiac guests and specific dining requests.

Before you head over

Practical planning tips for your Hawkesbury River destination dining journey

  • Allow 3 to 4 Hours for the Experience

    Plan for an unhurried 3 to 4-hour multi-course dining journey, or opt for lunch and summer early dinner to fully take in the natural river views before dark.

  • Plan Ahead for Parking and Boat Transfers

    Because the restaurant is isolated across the water, guests driving in should leave extra time to find scarce parking on the eastern side before catching the ferry.

  • Dietary Adjustments are Accommodated

    The kitchen readily accommodates dietary requirements such as gluten-free or celiac needs across the multi-course degustation with prior notice.
