About Berowra Waters

Berowra Waters is a secluded outer locality of Sydney's Northern Suburbs, situated approximately 40 kilometres north of the CBD within the Hornsby Shire local government area. With a small population of around 169 residents spread across just 1.7 square kilometres of waterfront land, the community is uniquely defined by its position along Berowra Creek's tidal arm near its junction with the Hawkesbury River. The area is primarily accessible by water or via the iconic Berowra Waters Ferry, a toll-free car ferry that operates 24 hours a day, adding a distinctive charm to everyday life.

Berowra Waters is a haven for boating, fishing, and outdoor enthusiasts, with houseboats, marina berths, and waterfront dining at the long-running Berowra Waters Inn drawing visitors from across Sydney. The surrounding bushland, part of the Ku-ring-gai Chase and Dharug national parks corridor, offers exceptional hiking and wildlife. The isolated, self-contained character of the community makes it a retreat for those seeking tranquillity and a genuine connection to nature, though residents require a car — or a boat — for most errands.

Berowra Waters falls under postcode 2082 and is governed by the local council Council (LGA). For state elections, residents vote in the Hornsby electorate.
