Nestled in the heart of Ku-ring-gai National Park, d'Albora Akuna Bay is where the spectacular cruising grounds of the Hawkesbury and Cowan river systems combine. This makes it a perfect base for delving into the natural beauty of the area around Coal and Candle Creek.

You can hire a boat here, berth your own at the public boat ramp, or cast off in a kayak or standup paddle boardfor something a bit more adventurous. Enjoy 24/7 fuel, dockmaster assistance, new and used boat sales, full service boatyard and swing moorings at d’Albora Akuna Bay.

Indulge in a meal or grab a drink in the tranquil setting at Shed, our relaxed bar and eatery offering a contemporary dining experience with an Italian twist. Above Shed sits our new addition, San Martin, a premium waterfront function centre for up to 200 guests.

Akuna Bay also features great facilities for a pre-departure picnic, with a public barbecue and ample tables for everyone. There are also some great dining options there. Alternatively, you can enjoy some light refreshments at the d'Albora Marinas Akuna Bay general store.
