We spent four all too short days at Nine, Berowra Waters. Patrick looks after the house and met us at the boat ramp and delivered us to the property, just a short ride down the river. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of the river and gave us a heads up on everything about the location, the property and the supplied tinnie. It was very useful information to make our stay carefree and enjoyable. Best still, Patrick is only a phone call away if any issues occur and lives on the River too. He’s gold!
Once inside we were soon admiring the spectacular view and it was time to crack out the champagne (thanks Elly) and take in the amazing vista from the top deck. We were lucky enough to experience a moonrise in the evening and the shimmering water was a sight to see.
Berowra Waters Inn is a short boat ride if you want to try some fine dining. We went there for a lovely lunch but you could just stay at Nine, cook if you want or head for fish n chips at the Marina. Patrick reckons the Peats Bite restaurant, a half hour tinnie ride away is very good too. Next time! Oh, and the seaplane taxies past every now and then on its way to drop off passengers to the Inn.
There is no shortage of Birdlife at Nine and the Kookaburras are soon on the railings waiting like Labradors for any meaty tidbits.
If you are into fishing you will be able to spot some sizeable bream swimming under the pontoon. They seem pretty well fed though so may take a bit of catching! Mud Crabs when in season too! All the gear to catch them is already at Nine.
Mobile reception for Telstra customers is ok but since we were with Optus we found if we placed our phone on the Kitchen window we got enough reception for text messages, sometimes on the top deck too. Of course, Nine has excellent in house wi fi that works very well for internet connectivity.
Everything you need for a spectacular weekend is at Nine, the view is unbeatable, the kitchen is very well stocked, there are two BBQs, a Spa and three bathrooms. Four couples would be a breeze.
Elizabeth has a top property here, her communication is first rate and Patrick takes exceptional care of everything on location. You can’t go wrong if you want a peaceful break from the hustle and bustle.
We loved it and can’t wait to go back!
