Indulge yourself...
A special occassion, weekend away or just a lazy lunch on the Hawkesbury…
For a special weekend getaway, a romantic night out or simply a long relaxing lunch on the Hawkesbury River, why not indulge yourself and get a seaplane. Just 20 minutes from Sydney you will get to see some of Sydney’s most beautiful views as you head up the Northern Beaches and follow the twists & turns of the Hawkesbury River.
Our friends at Sydney seaplanes can offer you many options to cater for all your Hawkesbury River needs. Start your journey with a cocktail in the Empire Lounge while you wait for your flight with spectacular views of Rose Bay and Sydney harbour. Sydney seaplanes offers several indulgent packages whether you are looking for a long lazy lunch, or a weekend getaway for a special occasion. Here are some ideas….
If you want to do something special, then head to the legendary Peats Bite – the perfect place for a relaxed & lazy lunch. Just 25 minutes from Sydney the flight offers amazing views of the beautiful Hawkesbury River and lands in front of the restaurant only to pull up on its private jetty.
Peats Bite has been open since 1982 and is a divine secret dining experience situated on the Hawkesbury River and only accessible by boat or seaplane. The restaurant provides live music and allows their patrons to wonder around the property giving a relaxed laid-back approach, and makes you feel like you’re at someone’s lavish backyard with amazing water views.
Sit back on your return flight and enjoy birds’ eye views over Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
For a lunch to remember, gather your nearest and dearest for a seaplane adventure to Jonah’s Whale Beach. Sensational views, fine dining, luxury accommodation and Australia’s best wine list (just one of Jonah’s many accolades) to make Jonah’s one of Australia’s most prestigious ocean retreats.
Taking to the skies you’ll enjoy stunning views over Sydney Harbour & Sydney’s Northern Beaches before touching down in Pittwater the gateway of the Hawkesbury River. Jonah’s courtesy car will meet you at the jetty and take you to the restaurant. After your leisurely 3 or 4-course lunch, leave Whale Beach for your return flight to Rose Bay with a circuit over Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It’s little wonder lunch at Jonah’s is our most popular package.
