Mooney Mooney

Escape to the serene riverside magic of Mooney Mooney, a hidden gem on the Hawkesbury River in New South Wales, where the wide, tranquil waters of the river meet lush green hills and dramatic sandstone cliffs, offering perfect calm for boating, kayaking, fishing, and peaceful sunset cruises past exclusive waterfront homes and moored yachts. The charming village atmosphere unfolds with a handful of cozy cafés, the iconic Mooney Mooney General Store for fresh coffee and local produce, and the nearby Brooklyn and Berowra Waters for more riverside dining and scenic walks, while the proximity to the stunning Brisbane Water National Park provides easy access to bush trails, Aboriginal rock art sites, and the iconic Hawkesbury River bridges.

Relax on the riverbank with a picnic, watch pelicans glide across the water, or simply soak in the quiet beauty of a place that feels like a private escape yet just an hour north of Sydney—all wrapped in warm Australian hospitality, gentle river breezes, and the unmistakable sense of a hidden coastal paradise where time slows to the rhythm of the tide.

Mooney Mooney isn’t just a destination—it’s the peaceful, scenic soul of the Hawkesbury River—plan your Mooney Mooney escape today!
