There’s mobile phone coverage but no television or radio.

Currawong offers you a uniquely secluded experience because it can only be accessed by water. You can take a 25 minute ferry ride from Palm Beach Wharf on Barrenjoey Road, or book the barge or water taxi.

If you are arriving by boat please book in advance one of the two slip ropes (for smaller boats) or the deep water mooring.

• Visiting Currawong State Park is a wonderful opportunity to view some of our native animals up close in their natural habitat. But children are very inquisitive and can be eager to get that little bit closer to these animals. 
• Please be mindful that they are native animals, used to their own habitat and natural foods.  Please do not feed the animals or leave food for them to forage. 
• Human food can make them sick and if they are expected to be fed by holiday makers, they can become aggressive. 
• Native animals are best viewed from afar.

Swim, snorkel or fish in the beautiful sheltered beach on your doorstep. Keep active on our five hole golf course, tennis and volleyball courts. Explore Ku-ring-gai Chase (map), Mackerel Beach, The Basin and Coasters Retreat.

Currawong is self-catered and has no shops so please bring your own supplies, linen and towels. 

Linen can be available upon request (for a fee) when booking but we strongly recommend that you provide your own.  Provision of linen is dependent upon water availability at the time and we cannot guarantee that it can be provided.  Beds occupied without the use of bed linen will incur a washing charge.

Pack your sports equipment too as we’ve only a limited choice to loan. Bring a good torch as it gets very dark at night.
