Marramarra Lodge
Less than an hour from Sydney but miles from the bustle of the city, Marramarra Lodge is the definition of luxurious back-to-nature escapism. Perched on the banks of the Hawkesbury River and framed by Marramarra National Park, this exclusive adults-only retreat invites you to drink in the majestic river and bushland views on your outdoor deck. Let time slow down with a paddleboard or kayak along the river, explore the bush with historic walks or sample local delicacies on a champagne and oyster cruise.
Continue the culinary adventure at Budyari Restaurant where you can savour an all-inclusive culinary experience. From house-made pastries in the morning to degustation dinners made with seasonal and fresh produce and paired with local and international wines, every day is a gourmet affair. Between meals, lose yourself to total pampering at Iyora Day Spa with signature aromatherapy massages, facials, and body polishes using Australian-made LaGaia luxury spa care products.
Marramarra Lodge is at Fisherman’s Point on the NSW North Coast. Surrounded by Marramarra National Park and the Hawkesbury River, it’s a true back-to-nature escape, less than an hour’s drive from Sydney Airport (SYD). Airport transfers are not included in your package, please plan accordingly.
There are no roads, so access is only by boat transfer from Mooney Mooney, seaplane or helicopter. Scheduled roundtrip boat transfers between Deerubbun Boat Ramp and Marramarra Lodge are included in your package. Scheduled boat transfers are at 10.30am and 2pm. If you elect the 10.30am transfer service, you will enjoy a light lunch on arrival and lodge facilities, while your room will be made available by 2pm. You will be contacted by the property upon booking to organise.

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.
