The property is only accessible via seaplane or boat.
Nightly accommodation is up to $1900 per night.

Families looking at the property have mentioned the potential to water ski or fish in the local watering holes.
There’s also the local Berowra Waters Inn situated 15 minutes away from the property.
“I sold the property next door about a year ago, so dwellings in this area are definitely tightly-held. It’s a fantastic opportunity for the perfect private weekender or a lifestyle property to be shared between multiple families.”
