A nice area especially if like me busy cannot get too far Sydney, it is a calm place, having only two sites gave me the relax time. Anthonny was responsive and he's put a generous amount of firewood kept us warm for many hours. Like this place, I think I would probably go to the same place next time. Thank you!

Location great, 30mins to Penrith, 1hr 15 to blue mountains, no cows on property currently so no cow pats as mentioned by previous campers but grass is knee high as a result, Anthony was kind enough to bring us up some more firewood

We had the most amazing stay at Calabash Haven! The open camping area is surrounded by beautiful views in every direction—it really felt like a peaceful escape from the city, yet it’s so close to Sydney.
Alex was extremely helpful and welcoming.
It was perfect for our family, including the kids and our dog who absolutely loved the space to run around. Only 8 minutes to the shops and Berowra Waters, where you can enjoy a relaxing coffee and even tried a bit of fishing.
Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in nature without going too far from home!

What a cracking spot!!! The view is to die for, it was a pleasure staying, we had an amazing time, especially with the dogs being able to run freely at the site. Anthony was a wonderful host. Very accommodating and was all to happy to help us if needed. I couldn’t recommend Anthony and this site enough. We will definitely keep it in mind for our next trip away!

Last minute Dash with 3 families and somehow i didn't want to travel?? Typing all my pre requisites in, Alex's property was available and ticked all the boxes we needed to just chill out relax and unwind before this year begins. What a lovely place it feels like your far away but in actual fact we were only 17 minutes away what a lovely place can't recommend this place enough they were so lovely and made us feel at home with Berowra waters 10min away shops etc if you really needed to it was there for peace of mind!! Thank you Alex for a wonderful getaway and we will be back again.

Very tranquil. Lots of space to walk around and for the dog and kids to run. Beautiful views, yet disappointed that there were no cows, as shown in the photos. The kids and I were really excited to stay on a property with cows present, but it looks like they've been gone a long time. This should be mentioned.
