About this property

Modern Luxuries Guesthouse

Luxurious guesthouse in Berowra.

A fabulous base for Sydney's best buskwalks & wildlife watchers.

Named one of the 7 best properties in NSW with a pool on "The Urban List" !

The Urban List review reads:
"If it's a sleek mansion vibe you're after, look no further. With a large heated pool, this cabana-style guest house is a luxe bush retreat, close to the famous Great North Walk, but with a long list of fancy amenities at your fingertips. We love the private patio, perfect for poolside dinners on balmy nights."

Filled with every amenity you could want. Polished concrete floors and an all-white interior make this a stunning little oasis for those looking for a serene breakaway or a base for bushwalking.

A large covered verandah overlooks the sparkling pool and this area is cool on the very hottest of days. Comfortable sun loungers are located next to the pool and towels are provided. The pool is long enough to swim laps and it is heated (weather dependent) from September/October through to April/May.

A sparkling clean gas barbecue is provided for outdoor cooking if you wish. The kitchen is fully stocked with every appliance, crockery, cutlery, spices, oils, tea, coffee and more - you will want for nothing.

The large laundry is fully equipped with modern appliances and all laundry & ironing needs.

Wifi and Ethernet are provided on site. You can chill out with the large DVD movie collection, games or large book and magazine collection, all provided for your use. The tv is set up to watch Netflix on your own account.

The queen size bed is ultra plush with crisp white linens and quality dressings. The bedroom has an extra large wardrobe with plenty of hanging space with hangers provided plus drawer space. Bathrobes and slippers are provided for your comfort.

The bathroom is spacious as is the shower with it's extra large generous shower head.

Please note:

The “Cabana” is in Berowra which sits on the edge of the stunning Australian Bush and you have the famous Great North Walk just 2 minutes stroll from your doorstep. This is a fabulous base for keen bushwalkers, bird watchers or those keen on wildlife watching. A few links are provided here for those seeking referrals and instructions on the many walks available. The local authorities also run accompanied walks to suit all fitness levels. The internet has plenty of information about all the local things to see.

If you are a foodie, Berowra Waters Inn, a short 10 minute drive down the mountain to Berowra Waters is home to one of Australia's best hatted restaurant. Lunch or dinner overlooking the beautiful Hawkesbury River is something you won’t forget. The restaurant offers free water taxi for pickup and drop off for both lunch and dinner. Specials pop up occasionally on Scoopon!

Amenities are all around you - if driving, you are 2 minutes from a supermarket and a range of speciality shops (Coles supermarket, doctor, pharmacy, hairdresser, butcher, cafes etc. It’s 10 minutes drive to a very large Westfield Shopping Centre in Hornsby, 25 minutes to the beaches and spectacular scenery of the Central Coast. Also down at Berowra Waters are a variety of spots to enjoy the waterside views, restaurants, fishing and boat hire plus there are a few cafes and restaurants on the water.

There are quite a few restaurants within walking distance including Thai, Chinese, Italian and Café fare.

If you don't have a car, public transport is all around you - the Bus is just steps from the door, the train is an easy and flat 8 minutes walk. A few car hire companies will deliver a vehicle to the door and there is always Uber. If you are interested in getting out and about to do more than relaxing or bushwalking, a car is recommended.

An interesting uniquely Australian day trip out is the Riverboat Postman. This is a view into a unique Australian postman’s day. You will join his boat for lunch while he delivers mail and parcels to the residents of some local islands.

Owners are onsite in a separate home at the front of the property if you need anything at all during your stay. We always endeavour to give guests full privacy during their visit so do not use the outdoor areas when we have guests to ensure your peace and privacy.

Peaceful home away from home
Everything was clean and comfortable. There were little luxuries throughout which made us feel like we were at a fancy hotel. The pool was wonderful and the location second to none. Thanks Michelle, we hope to stay again soon.

Cozy Getaway
Michelle was very welcoming and you can see all the effort she’s put into making your stay a little bit extra with all the small touches she’s placed from the moment you step in. Although it rained on our last day, listening and being able to watch it in the comfort of the warm lounge room or bedroom made it worth while. Thank you Michelle again for everything. I would highly recommend staying here!

Private glam oasis!
Michelle was a great host and greeted us warmly when we arrived but ensured we had privacy during our stay. The accommodation was immaculate with high quality toiletries and lots of special touches. The kitchen was very well equipped too. Short drive to cafes, supermarkets and bushwalking. Lovely tranquil escape with the comforts of suburbia! Really appreciated the generous goodies Michelle had left for us too. Highly recommend for a solo traveller or couple.

One Great Time Down Under!
This was an amazing trip and stay at Michelle’s guest house for myself and wife! The accommodations were awesome, but more then that was our host Michelle’s warm and welcoming family. We came from the US for the entire month of February and the nice warm weather was perfect for swimming in the beautiful pool. Everything you need is there, very clean and the queen sized bed was very comfortable for a great nights sleep. We were awakened each morning with the pretty songs that the Magpies sing. We didn’t rent a car, but the train station is a short walk away and we navigated easily to Sydney and the Blue Mountains just an hour away. I can’t say enough about the people of Australia, their kindness and compassion are inspiring. Our privacy was well respected by Michelle and her family, but we made new friends with these special people! We loved her hospitality and friendship! Thanks again for a wonderful trip to your special place and beautiful country. David and Gail Okemos, Michigan

Perfect relaxing weekend.
We had the best time making use of the pool and bbq area. It’s super clean looks exactly like the photos, everything was smooth and easy. We wanted a relaxing weekend by the pool and this place is perfect for that. We felt as if we had the place to ourselves with the hosts putting up a screen to separate the area from the main house. Thankyou for a lovely stay :)

Simply amazing
Me and my husband stayed here for his birthday. Such a lovely place to be! It is exactly what you see on photos! Being a neat freak, this place has amazed me for its cleanliness. The aroma on the inside of the house also gave plus points! Well-stocked pantry+complimentary goodies :) We also had so much fun in the pool! Just wow!! :)

Michelle has very kindly agreed to reschedule my trip for 2022 as the weekend of my booking there was torrential rain and hazardous driving and walking conditions. I really appreciate this.
