EBENEZER and WILBERFORCE

Ebenezer and Wilberforce on Hawkesbury Map

Plan Ahead: 

  1. Begin your journey with a full tank of petrol.
  2. Call in advance (02 4579 1150) for a lovely hot or cold lunch at Tizzana Winery – alfresco under a grapevine – in Ebenezer.

Check a local map before setting off: As this is the most remote and least populated of our village getaways, we’ve included more directions, but be sure to also bring a detailed map as mobile phone and GPS service is intermittent at best.

This is a beautiful and peaceful country drive from Windsor through Wilberforce and there are several interesting stops along the way – you’ll find more details listed in our Things to Do section. 

Leave Windsor at the roundabout on Bridge Street (intersecting with George Street), cross the bridge and follow the road to Wilberforce (approximately 5.6km). Turf farms claim the land along this route. In Wilberforce, the Indy800 Kart Track is a fun activity for older kids (12 years minimum age) with the adjoining Butterfly Farm for kids of all ages. There is a kiosk serving snacks and beverages on the premises.

Continue on the Wilberforce Road to the first intersection of King Road. Turn right. Continue on King Road  past residential properties, light industrial buildings and the Ebenezer Public School (on the left). Only metres thereafter, turn right into Tizzana Road. If time allows a visit to an early Australian icon, turn off Tizzana Road onto Coromandel Road and follow the signage to the Ebenezer Uniting Church and Schoolhouse (See Things to Do.)

Return to Tizzana Road. Turn right. The road narrows, and civilisation, with only the occasional farmhouse or paddock visible from the road, falls away. You have reached your destination: the countryside of Hawkesbury.

Your next stop: historic Tizzana Winery and B&B in Ebenezer for wine-tasting and lunch, with a bucolic hillside view overlooking vineyards and lily pad ponds. Plan an overnight stay at the four-star Tizzana B&B for an idyllic break.
