Berowra.

Surrounded by nature reserves, national parks, and the Hawkesbury River, Berowra has a village feel with a great sense of community and friendly, welcoming locals.

An affordable location for buyers choosing large homes to renovate, Berowra offers that coveted sense of space that’s hard to find closer to the city. While most daily supplies can be found at the local shops consisting of restaurants, cafes and a pub, Hornsby is just a quick drive away.

Plenty of outdoors activities are on offer year-round, including bushwalking, fishing and bike trails. Located on the Hawkesbury River and bordering Ku-ring-gai National Park, Berowra Waters is a destination within itself.

The area is rich in Aboriginal history, with over 100 rock carvings, cave paintings and shell midden sites. The name ‘Berowra' is derived from the Aboriginal place name for 'place of many winds'. Locals say being high up and getting the gentle breeze from different directions is a delight, especially on a warm summer afternoon.
