Riverbreeze on the Hawkesbury
Riverbreeze is a 1930's fisherman's cottage perched on the hill overlooking the magestic Hawkesbury River as it journeys through this tiny water access only community of Milsons Passage through to the ocean.
Settle into days reading, creating, relaxing and enjoying views and the ever changing river colours. Riverbreeze is perfect for couples who wish to enjoy the serenty and the peace and quiet of slow mornings over coffee, long lunches in the sun and cosy winter nights with a glass of wine by the fire.
Riverbreeze backs onto the Muogamarra Nature Reserve and has views opposite to Milson Island. A short boat ride away you'll find top class restaurants Estuary at Kangaroo Point, Berowra Waters Inn and The Secret Chef at Berowra.

The little fisherman's shack has been lovingly restored to reflect a simplier river life with a range of curated vintage pieces collected over many years by the owners. Some items have stayed for decades with the house and are dearly held curios. We are mindful of waste and have re-used and repurposed materials where possible therefore some items are showing the patina of age, and we love that lots of pieces in the house have a history. We have also taken care to source beautiful handmade items from local artisans and are happy to share details about sourcing from these wonderful makers.
