Homes are scattered amongst the trees, their colours softened by the dappled sunlight that filters through the dense canopy, and the quiet hum of daily life is punctuated by the calls of native birds. The terrain itself is a study in contrasts, a series of gentle slopes and steeper inclines that offer glimpses of the river winding its way through the landscape, a ribbon of life in the ancient sandstone.
The history of Berowra Heights is intrinsically linked to the waterway it commands, a vital artery for Indigenous peoples for millennia and later a thoroughfare for early European settlers exploring this rugged country.

Berowra Heights offers a particular kind of peace, a sense of being both connected and wonderfully apart, where the rhythm of the tides and the changing seasons dictate the pace.
