Marramarra Lodge

The Lodge — Adults-only bliss on the Hawkesbury River

Escape to the wild at Marramarra Lodge, where life’s little luxuries can be enjoyed among some of NSW’s most verdant native landscapes. Perched on Fisherman’s Point, across from Bar Island, this luxe retreat benefits from an island-like setting, with the shimmering Hawkesbury River stretching out in every direction.

Explore the iconic waterway via kayak, canoe or stand-up paddleboard, or discover Marramarra National Park on foot, spotting Wollemi pines, lyrebirds, goannas, kookaburras and Indigenous rock carvings along the way. Iyora Day Spa will be waiting to ease weary muscles when you return, with a suite of rejuvenating massages, facials and body treatments that use the LaGaia range. If immersing yourself in nature’s playground wasn’t enough, the lodge is also home to an outdoor pool, indoor gym and games room.

Make your stay oh-so-memorable by adding a local experience or two into the itinerary – from fishing to cultural tours, the Hawkesbury region is bursting with significant sights, smells and sounds. The lodge team can arrange everything from private tours of nearby Bar Island and walks with a local Dharug Elder to mud crabbing, fishing trips and even helicopter rides to the Hunter Valley for lunch and a wine masterclass (charges apply). Transfers can also be arranged to water-access-only restaurants such as Berowra Waters Inn.

Your Handpicked Inclusions – All-inclusive drinks and dining, boat transfers, spa treatment and more

You won’t want for a thing at Marramarra Lodge, with an all-inclusive package. Start your stay with scheduled roundtrip boat transfers from Deerubbun Boat Ramp to Marramarra Lodge at either 10.30am or 2pm. Once you arrive, a glass of sparkling and a bottle of French Champagne will be waiting, marking the start of your descent into true relaxation.

Ease into every morning with a gourmet a la carte breakfast of housemade pastries, other freshly baked treats, fresh fruits and a hot breakfast selection at Budyari Restaurant. A light two-course lunch can be served by the pool or in the main house. Every evening, expect a perfectly proportioned degustation dinner at Budyari Restaurant, with dishes like sugar-cured ocean trout and wagyu beef tenderloin, each paired with a sommelier-selected wine. Chef Jerome Tremoulet and his team combine local ingredients with fine-dining sensibilities to present a seasonal, multi-course affair every night.

A daily restocked minibar means you’ll never go without, but boutique wines and drinks are also available at the lodge for afternoon tipples and nightcaps.

Dial up the romance with a 60-minute oyster and champagne river cruise. Step aboard the lodge’s luxury vessel and enjoy a glass of champagne and fresh oysters as you hear about the Hawkesbury River’s fascinating history and take in its year-round calmness. Plus, get up close and personal to the Hawkesbury’s flow with complimentary use of kayaks, paddleboards, canoes and fishing rods.
