Down by the Hawkesbury

Originally settled in 1889 "Bobs Grant" this lovely property and the surrounding land was originally used for farming but is now mostly turf farms.

Enjoy our little getaway down by the Hawkesbury River only 10 minutes from historic Windsor. A beautiful river shack for your use exclusively, including fire pit with direct access to the Hawkesbury river.

Destroyed in the March and July 2022 floods, we have now re-built and are looking forward to welcoming back our guests.

Bring your caravans, tent or swag - all are welcome! Unfortunately, boats are not.

Relax and enjoy the serenity whilst being only 1 hour from Sydney.

We offer the site to one group only, a maximum of 20 guests. However note, we are not a place for rowdy groups and parties. Groups are welcome here to enjoy the time with their family and friends, play a little music and relax by the river.  The river can get busy (which is great after the floods as it has been dead for so long) and so can the road across the river but if you are enjoying your family and friends you won't even notice!

We have one basic toilet, and one river water shower available too! Please bring your own drinking water. 

​Fires are only permitted when allowed, in the designated areas only.

Rock Shelf Campsite at Curl Curl

This campsite is situated on top of a beautiful sandstone rock shelf in Curl Curl, NSW. The site has views across the valley to North Curl Curl.  We keep native stingless bees and other beautiful native animals.

Located only 300m from the Beaches best surf beach which has two beautiful rock pools to explore.  Especially good for people that are not used to the surf.

The 33km Northern Beaches Coast Walk is nearby.  Cafes with views are everywhere. Only 30 minutes drive to Ku-ring-gai National Park. Close to W'gah mall and public transport for easy access to Manly and the city.

Pets are welcome and we have a fire pit available.  Please bring your own firewood.

This is the location of the site from the beach.

There is a multitude of walking, hiking and mountain bike trails. There are also many nearby horse riding trails. The property backs on to Calabash Creek which is like a rain Forrest once you get down to the valley floor. 

Berowra waters is near by, whereby many fishing, canoeing, boating activities are available, coupled with some great cafes/restaurants.

Campfires are allowed as long as there are no restrictions in place and they are supervised. Pets are welcome and can be off leash, however are the responsibility of their human parents.

The property has ample room to accommodate larger groups that might want to hold milestone celebrations such as Birthday parties, whereby all sites will be closed to accommodate such events.  Recently Calabash Haven hosted a party of 50 people for 50th Bday celebration.  Feel free to inquire to see if we can accommodate your needs.

The Boathouse Retreat @ Elvina Bay is a cosy, peaceful hideaway located on the water at Elvina Bay. It is only accessible by boat which makes it more of an experience . 

Nestled on the edge of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park with views across Pittwater, I invite you to come and enjoy the peace only a location like the Boathouse Retreat @ Elvina Bay can offer which includes experiencing bush walks to the top and bottom of the waterfall and Aboriginal Carvings as well as kayaking to the surrounding beautiful bays, to swimming off the jetty. 

The boathouse is fully self-contained with a comfortable queen-size bed, a well-equipped kitchen, toilet and hot rainwater shower with bath towels provided. The Boathouse has heating for winter and a brazier for your toasty outdoor fire.

You can come by Sea Plane if you wish from Sydney and if you do I can meet you at the mouth of the bay in my boat, or I can arrange to pick you up from the carpark at the Church Pt Ferry Wharf in my boat to take you across to the Boathouse. 

At the end of your stay I'm more than happy to take you back to Church Pt in my boat.
