Amaroo is a beautiful, peaceful place to enjoy a short break, only a short drive from central Sydney. There are expansive views of the river from front deck of the main house and the atmosphere in the boat house on the water are magic. We spent hours watching the tidal river flows and fishing off the wharf. Don't be daunted by the boat-only access to the property. Our host Mary gave us all the information we needed to arrange the water taxi transfers (easy!) and helped us hire a tinny for our stay. The house is very comfortable and has bucket loads of old-world charm. It's a gorgeous place to get away from everyday life.
