Kookaburra Retreat - Berowra
Kookaburra Retreat is a completely private, self contained retreat adjoining our house and located on the very edge of Aussie bushland with abundant wildlife. Kookaburras will laugh with you and possums and wallabies may visit you at night. The resident brush turkeys often parade through for a visit and Panna our cat, is always up to greeting guests, looking for a pat and a cuddle.
If you are visiting family or friends, attending a local wedding, attending a course or just planning a family getaway, come and experience what Kookaburra Retreat has to offer.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the beautiful bushland, wildlife at your doorstep and the serenity it provides. If you like peace and quiet, this is the place for you.
