Treat Yourself to a Luxury Holiday Experience Post Lockdown in NSW

As the recent lockdowns begin to ease and the possibility to enjoy that much-longed-for getaway becomes a reality, what better way to escape than to immerse yourself in the beauty and tranquillity of the Hawkesbury River?

Discover the ultimate luxury holiday experience right on the fringes of the Marramarra National Park, surrounded by wide expanses of breathtaking natural beauty, gently meandering waterways, local wildlife at every turn and that feeling of being a million miles away – yet less than an hours drive from North Sydney.

Forget about overcrowded beaches, hoards of tourists and bog-standard accommodation. Marramarra Lodge is that luxury wilderness escape you’ve been dreaming about, placing you in the heart of some of NSW’s finest waterfront bushland.

8-Acres of Exclusive Hawkesbury River Frontage

Imagine having access to 8-acres of lush, undisturbed Hawkesbury River frontage surrounded by natural bushland, private river islets, shimmering waterways and hiking trails galore. Now add in the exclusivity factor of access to this 8-acres via helicopter, water plane or boat alone, and you have your very own private oasis less than a 60-minutes drive from Sydney – yet somewhere that feels like you’re a million miles away from anywhere.

Wake to riverside views and the call of Cockatoos, Kookaburra and Lyrebirds. Take a deep breath in and enjoy the scent of Wollemi Pine, fresh morning dew and the earthiness of the banks of the waterways. Soak up the rich history of the lodge and the cultural importance of the surrounding landscape. Then let go of all your stress as Mother Nature wraps her arms around your every sense and enjoy the beauty of everything natural.

Rest, Relax and Rejuvenate

As an adults-only destination, you can rest assured that the only squawking and commotion you’ll hear comes from the local wildlife. Enjoy soaking up the sights and sounds of the local area without interruption – letting you truly relax and unwind without a care in the world.

Spend long, lazy days by the water, soaking up everything natural. Kick back with a rod and line and indulge in a spot of fishing. Enjoy alfresco dining of fine food paired with finer wines whilst taking in the great outdoors. Wash away your stress and worries with the Iyora Day Spa and guest-only pool. Take to the water with your own-use paddle boards and so much more.

And with no hoards of tourists hogging all of the facilities and amenities, you can rest assured that you can do everything you want, exactly when you want to. No waiting. No rushing. No stress.

Things to do at Marramarra Lodge

It would be easy to think that such an exclusive destination would have little to do in the way of entertainment, activities and exploration – but you’d be wrong.

Waterway Activities: Nestled on the banks of the Hawkesbury River, Marramarra Lodge is the ultimate base for fun on the water. Head out onto the river for a romantic Champagne and Oyster Cruise, explore the waterways with complimentary paddleboards, discover the river on a boat excursion or enjoy an early morning dip to awaken your senses and kick-start your day in the most amazing way possible. Water plays a big role in making Marramarra Lodge such a majestic place to stay, and it can also fill your days with fun, adventure and romance.
