Berowra Waters Inn

Perched on the edge of a tranquil tidal river within the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, Berowra Waters Inn is a destination in itself—a serene escape that blends world-class dining with the raw beauty of Australian bushland. Accessible only by boat or seaplane, this iconic restaurant offers an immersive experience where the journey is as memorable as the destination.

Highlights & What to See

• Degustation dining with a view: The inn is renowned for its multi-course tasting menus, showcasing native Australian ingredients and exquisite seafood, all while gazing over the still waters through floor-to-ceiling windows.
• Scenic boat transfer: The 20-minute ferry ride from Berowra Waters wharf sets the tone—gliding past sandstone cliffs and eucalypt forests, with the chance to spot ospreys and sea eagles.
• Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park surrounds: Before or after your meal, explore the park’s walking trails, Aboriginal rock engravings, and hidden coves. The Great North Walk passes nearby.
• Seaplane arrival: For a truly unforgettable approach, arrive by seaplane from Sydney Harbour, landing directly on the river in front of the inn.

Suggested Time to Spend

Plan for a half-day or full-day outing. The lunch degustation typically runs 3–4 hours, so allow extra time for the scenic transfer and a short walk in the national park. An evening visit is also magical, but book the last boat return or arrange a water taxi. Most visitors combine it with a morning exploring the park or a stop at nearby Berowra town.
