It doesn’t get much better than this! The house was agorgeous with amazing views from each room, comfortable beds and common areas. The owners even replaced the tv while we were there as the previous people had mentioned it wasn’t working! Very well stocked for kitchen utensils.
We loved fishing off the pontoon and using the tinnie for short trips up the river. Transfers to and from the house were very easy- Col was a great source of local information.
Highly recommend going to Berowra Waters Inn for lunch while you’re there- we were picked up from our pontoon and delivered back after the fantastic lunch.

The pickup by Col went without issue and takes no longer than 10 mins. The house itself was beautiful, with plenty of cooking basics available (no milk). It was a very hot weekend however the fans and breeze was more than adequate to ensure max comfort in the house. The outlook is really something, much time was spent on the balcony gazing into the distance whilst enjoying beer, wine and snacks. Mozzie repellent definitely required during our stay which we brought with us, however there was mozzie coils at the house which were used when sitting outside.
Is the place too big for a weekend away for 2? Probably, but it's most definitely comfortable and I'd certainly book again.
Thanks Col & Nic.

The weekend started with meeting Col and he was absolutely delightful. The house as stated is amongst the trees and on a cold rainy weekend it has a beautiful outlook with a roaring fireplace to keep us warm. Needed for nothing as everything was provided. Thankyou

The kids and I had the best time at the tree house.
Despite the weather we were able to squeeze in a couple of adventures up and down the river in the tinny!
Thanks Nic, we had the best time.

Tree tops Berowra Waters
The location was just perfect, the house was fun/different & well stock with cooking utensils, crockery etc although too few wine glasses. Colin was obliging & efficient when we met him.
The issues that made it less than perfect are:
1. the contact persons need to pick up the phone when they are contacted during our stay
2. the pick up & drop off needs to be on time (we waited for more than an hour)
3. some of the equipment is below standard & made us at times feel not so confident eg: life jackets, reliability of the tinny/run about
4. dryer, throw about/wraps, fans & ornaments need to be dusted or cleaned
Thank you Juanita

We had a great stay at the Treehouse, even though we were amidst flooding in NSW and had a lot of heavy rain during our weekend there. The house is exactly how it looks on the photos, well-equiped kitchen, nice bedrooms, amazing outdoor shower. We had some issues with starting the tinny, but had good contact with Nic who was trying to help us and in the end hired us another tinny, which was great.
Overall, an amazing experience and definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Photos don’t do justice to this property. It has fantastic views, is amongst the tree branches and is quiet and very peaceful. The kitchen is well stocked and was perfect for our group as we did a lot of cooking. Our host took us to the property and explained everything, showed us how to start the small boat, which none of us had ever used before and we were able to explore the waterways and grab coffee from the marina. We even used the canoes for a quiet paddle up the river. Thanks guys, we had a great weekend.

The house is full of light and air and there are fans in every room for the summer time. We visited in autumn which is perfect, I reckon. Warm days but nice cool nights. We had a fire at night which heated up things nicely.
The kitchen is well stocked with everything you might need, including a spacious pantry and fridge. The top 3 bedroom share a large bathroom and separate loo. There's also an outdoor shower for the summer. The balcony off the top bedroom is too dangerous to step out on to for now which is a shame. We spent most of our time gazing at the water, either from the pontoon or the balcony. Don't miss Berowra Waters Inn if your budget will stretch to it.

I had a great time overall, however unfortunately there were a few issues around the regulations and rules that were to be abided by from some of the guests resulting in complaints. In future this place is great for quiet groups as sound does travel in the location of the place. Otherwise overall it was an amazing time. The place is wonderful!

We just loved the view over the water - the 17 and 19 yr olds loved the kayaks and paddle boards (as did we!). We ventured up the creek and felt we were in the wilderness only 20 mins paddle from the house. We were rewarded when a red bellied black snake swam past us, swimming from one side of the creek to the other. Our 19yr old just loved the adventure of it all and we were perfectly safe on the paddle board and in the kayak.The beds were comfortable, the pantry so well stocked with glad wrap and other necessities; but where was the vegetable peeler? No matter - we made do :-)Every bedroom was glorious and had its' own charm and the little runabout boat works perfectly well. We caught a small fish off the jetty and loved watching the birds. I am already trying to find an excuse for another getaway and next time we'll book early enough to be able to stay longer than 2 nights! Thanks Nic for being so flexible with timings and having us to stay!

A great Getaway, Fantastic house on the edge of Berowra Waters. Boat only access, use of runabout and transfers included. Paddle board and kayaks with own jetty. House is very well equiped. Great fireplace and wood provided which kept the house warm in winter. Would recommend!

Stunning setting in a serene location.
Unfortunately there was quite a large invasion of ants in the kitchen, pantry and lower bathroom.
Also missing/broken paddles for the watercrafts.
Overall we had a lovely weekend - thank you for sharing your beautiful house with us.

Great River and Kayaking Property
A comfortable property in a great location. If you love being on the water you'll love this property. Kayaking was fun (we also brought a few of our own). A couple of internal stairs to negotiate and bring your earplugs for the tinnie. Waterview balcony a great place for afternoon / evening nibbles and drinks.

Stunning - a fantastic weekend away
fabulous house and location. Loved that the tinny and kayaks were included and Patrick the property manager and Hamish the boat hand who picked us up at the wharf were both amazing.

Relaxing place by the water
The views from the house were lovely and a great place to stay if going to Berwora Waters Inn. Unfortunately there were a few issues with the TV not working properly and also the boat was so in need of maintenance it was laughable. We had to bail out water and it was very hard to start. Overall a pretty good experience.
