Sydney Harbour Accommodation - About the Location

Chowder Bay is a charming maritime village comprising historic buildings and natural bushland.  Chowder Bay was named after whalers who made "chowder" from the bay's abundant seafood. 

Chowder Bay is surrounded by two significant areas of open space, Clifton Gardens Reserve and Sydney Harbour National Park - both of which are linked by walking tracks to other places of interest including Taronga Zoo, Balmoral Beach and Headland Park.  Chowder Bay is a short drive to/from Mosman where groups can access supermarkets, medical facilities, pharmacies etc.

Vehicular access to Chowder Bay is through the bushland of Sydney Harbour National Park. This contributes to Chowder Bay's special character and natural beauty.

I looked out my window in the dark 
At waves with diamond quills and combs of light 
That arched their mackerel-backs and smacked the sand 
In the moon's drench, that straight enormous glaze, 
And ships far off asleep, and Harbour-buoys 
Tossing their fireballs wearily each to each, 
And tried to hear your voice, but all I heard 
Was a boat's whistle, and the scraping squeal 
Of seabirds' voices far away, and bells, 
Five bells. Five bells coldly ringing out. 
Five bells.
