Chez Nous Waterfront Cottage

A little piece of Provence on the waterfront. A two bedroom 2 bathroom cottage in peaceful Neverfail Bay, approximately 15 minutes by boat from the public wharf at Berowra Waters (and 10 minutes by boat to Berowra Waters Inn), offering self catering luxury accommodation for one or two couples.




Picture this: You escape your busy week on Friday afternoon (morning if you are lucky) and head down to the public wharf at Berowra Waters where you are met by your host to transport you to Chez Nous. Even before you arrive at the cottage, you feel the stresses starting to lessen. After settling in, you are left to your own devices, knowing that you have the whole weekend ahead. Before long, you are dangling your feet in at the end of the pontoon, glass of wine in hand. After dinner, you decide to have a long leisurely bath, candles giving a nice glow to the luxurious wet room.
It doesn't take much to begin the journey of feeling drowsy and you decide which bedroom to make your own for the weekend.

In the morning, whilst preparing breakfast, you gaze out the French windows and watch the day trippers heading out for the day. You take to the balcony upstairs and enjoy reading a French newspaper whilst munching on a croissant. As the sun starts to rise above the hill, you feel its warmth and decide to take a dip in the wet edged pool fronting the river. You pause to watch the sea planes and wonder at the view. What to do for lunch? Why not visit the iconic restaurant Berowra Waters Inn, or you could take off in the boat and head up to Peat's Bite (15 minutes by boat) or be lazy and enjoy a casual lunch sitting on the waterfront deck.
As the afternoon progresses, you make your way to the armchair in the main bedroom with water views from 3 windows to read your book or browse through Delicious magazines. Before long you are nodding off; relaxing can be so tiring! You wake to find your partner greeting you with an ice bucket, chilling champagne, and you sit watching the changing scenes of the river. The only sounds to interrupt the peace are the champagne cork popping and the fish jumping.
What to have for dinner? You may choose to visit Berowra Waters Inn in the evening and enjoy the river at night time, or why not be decadent and have a chef come and prepare dinner for you? Our local chef Manny of Secret Dining can prepare something special for you. You may wish to go informal and have fish and chips back at Berowra Waters Marina or dine at the Waterview Restaurant. You may even choose to create something in the fully equipped kitchen or enjoy a simple BBQ. .





Day 2 sees you being more adventurous. You decide to take the boat and pack a picnic, heading out to one of the secluded beaches close by. By lunch time you are planning your next visit to Chez Nous. Chez Nous has become Chez Vous. You are amazed at how quickly the stresses of your busy lifestyle have been washed away; content in the knowledge that you can check out as late as you wish, ready to face Monday morning, having extended your weekend away.

Incredible weekend

We're just back from our first stay at Chez Nous and goodness, it was just incredible! The house is beautifully styled with every want and need catered for. We were blessed with amazing weather which meant we literally didn't leave the property. We simply moved from fishing to swimming to napping on repeat for two days. Absolute bliss! Liz and Alan were a pleasure to chat with. We will 100% be back again!

Rest and Relaxation on the River

It's always a wonderful thing when an anticipated getaway meets one's expectations. Even better when they are exceeded. Chez Nous was the perfect base to relax, feast, snooze and watch the watery world go by. Alan was a gem in showing us the sites on the way in, helping keep the birthday surprise for my husband (right up until we got to the jetty)!, and very welcoming. Thank you Alan and Liz for sharing your riverside retreat, and for the extra treats for M's birthday!

We felt like we were in France, sitting outside under the vine leaves, overlooking the river. The house is beautifully decorated, feels cosy and has everything you could possibly need. The pool is gorgeous and the location is quiet. I really can't say enough about how wonderful our experience was. We know we will be going back.

A beautiful setting right on the water. So quiet and relaxing, it was exactly what we needed. Liz and Alan thought of everything to make the house so inviting and the holiday feel as though we were far far away from everything. We will definitely be recommending it to friends and family. Merci beaucoup Alan and Liz. À bientôt.

Beautiful property

We had a fantastic stay in Liz and Alan’s property. We have stayed in many holiday homes over the years and this is definitely the most well-equipped! There honestly isn’t anything they haven’t thought of. It is an extremely comfortable home. It is beautifully maintained and was immaculately clean. The pool is amazing but we also had rainy, cooler weather and it was so comfortable to sit inside with the great fireplace. Liz and Alan were extremely helpful, kind hosts. Highly recommended!

A slice of Mediterranean on the River

My sister and I came to Liz and Alan's place for a girl's weekend away celebrating a 40th birthday and we couldn't have picked a more perfect place. Alan was so warm and lovely on picking us up in the tinnie, we got a little tour of the river and he gave us a thorough tour of the house on arrival. Liz and Alan's home is exactly that: a home. It's not just holiday accomodation but a place they clearly enjoy being at and so did we. It's warm, furnished with comfortable couches, great beds and plenty of areas to spend different parts of your day in - all overlooking the river. The kitchen appliances and utensils were better than my own - which made me want to move in. Then there's the pool right on the river to go for dips and of course those sensational views. We found it hard to leave this little slice of heaven and can't wait to visit again. Thank you, Liz and Alan for having us at your wonderful home.

The location is amazing, quite remote but stunning and perfect for a real get away. Alan and Liz are brilliant hosts - totally trusting and very helpful. So many things stand out, the views, the bedrooms, the little extras that they make available. We loved it and if you go there, I am sure you will too.

You will be surprised with just a short drive away from Sydney, the Berowra waters is a must visit! Our host Alan and Liz, the small local community, was most welcoming and friendly. The water and bush wild life is just simply fascinating. We indulged in our first adventurous boat driving experience and a carefree 3rd anniversary get-away. Thanks again for having us!
