Business Description
Marramarra Lodge proved an instant hit as a Sydney weekend and corporate getaway when it opened in 2021.
Framed by the pristine Marramarra National Park and the gentle beauty of the shimmering Hawkesbury River, Marramarra Lodge’s appeal as a luxury back-to-nature escape from Sydney’s hustle and bustle cannot be equalled. Adding to the lodge’s unique allure is that it can only be accessed by boat or plane.
The property has capacity for 28 guests across 14 lodgings: eight luxury tents and six extravagant bungalows. All are fully self-contained with balconies overlooking the Hawkesbury.
While the lodgings are brand new, the property is centred around the historic Carter House, which was constructed in the 1920s and now serves as the leisure and billiards room.
Marramarra Lodge’s five-star riverfront restaurant, Budyari, headed by a triple Michelin hatted chef, adds to property’s singular appeal.
Showing an upward trajectory for premium wilderness accommodation so close to Sydney, Marramarra Lodge offers a business opportunity like no other.
