Calabash Bay Lodge isn’t your typical riverside retreat. This unique, water-access only location on the Hawkesbury River offers the quintessential experience. With Australian wilderness and an absolute waterfront setting, yet you’re only a heartbeat away from the bustling Sydney metropolis. Travellers seeking refuge from their busy schedules can lounge on the deck, fish from the pontoon, kayak on the river or curl up by the fireplace. Bliss.
