Great Morning Knowledgeable staff Wonderful boat trip Well worth a visit
Thank you for your lovely review. We’re so pleased to hear you had a great morning with us and enjoyed the full experience, from the tour through to the boat trip. It means a lot to know our team’s knowledge and hospitality helped make the visit worthwhile. We love sharing the story of pearling and oyster farming here on the Hawkesbury. Thank you for visiting Broken Bay Pearl Farm. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
This was so much more than I envisioned it would be. On arrival we were greeted by the team who were so friendly and welcoming. The jewellery designs are next level. Unique and beautiful with a great variety. The boat cruise was fantastic. Families on board. Information was explained well. Very engaging. On our arrival back for our taste testing, the table was set up and ready for our group. Nothing was rushed, the team is A1. It’s nice to visit a place where the staff are obviously passionate about what they do, are happy and love their jobs.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review. We’re so pleased to hear the experience exceeded your expectations. It’s wonderful to know your visit felt engaging, relaxed and memorable from start to finish. Your comments about our team mean a lot. Sharing our passion for pearling, oysters and the river is at the heart of what we do, so it’s lovely to hear that came through in your experience. Thank you for visiting Broken Bay Pearl Farm. We’d love to welcome you back again soon.
We had a wonderful day at Broken Bay Pearl Farm. It started with the personal pickup from the train station. We then were given a talk about oysters and how pearls are made. It was very interesting to learn the details. We also learned about grading pearls and got to see them open an oyster and find a pearl. Aaron did a great job. We then went out on the boat to the lease and got to see oysters as they are growing in the nets. Again an informational tour on the boat and learned even more. And then we got to taste different kinds of oysters. It was a well rounded day of learning and fun. We did buy a pearl bracelet but there was zero pressure to purchase. Everyone was just so lovely and helpful. We would recommend doing the full tour but if you only have time for one part would still be worthwhile.
Thank you so much for your beautiful review, we’re so pleased you had such a wonderful day with us. It’s fantastic to hear how much you enjoyed each part of the experience, from the pearl education and grading through to the farm cruise and oyster tasting. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Aaron, he’ll be thrilled to hear he made such a great impression. We all have such a passion for what we do and love sharing that with our guests, especially when it comes to a bit of jewellery play. It’s so lovely to hear you took home a special piece, now knowing just how much care and time goes into producing our beautiful local pearls. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
Enjoyable and informative tour, split into 1 hour on a boat tour on the Hawksbury River to experience the local environment and see the pearl farm set up. Small group size with knowledgeable guide. second half was on land at their Display room to learn all about pearl farming of local Akoya pearls and South See pearls. All was well presented with some hands on experience as well. Another High light was some oyster tasting afterwards as well as their gourmet cheese platter. Both scored 10/10 in my books. I treated myself to some Akoya pearl earrings which will be a lovely reminder of an enjoyable tour
Thank you so much for your wonderful review, we’re so glad you enjoyed the experience. It’s fantastic to hear how much you appreciated both parts of the tour, from the time out on the Hawkesbury River exploring the farm, through to the hands on learning in our showroom. We love sharing the full journey of our pearls, so it’s great to know that came through. We’re also so pleased you enjoyed the oyster tasting and our gourmet grazing lunch, made even more special by the beautiful backdrop of Spectacle Island. And what a perfect way to remember your visit with a pair of Akoya pearl earrings. Knowing the story behind them makes them even more special. Thank you again for visiting us, and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
We booked it for 1:30pm on Saturday, got a call Saturday at 10:25am asking our whereabouts, apparently there was misinformation and they were told we booked at 10:30am. So we dont loose our booking we only had a choice to change it to Sunday 10:30am. This means we had to book a hotel to stay overnight. Absolute disgrace.
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m very sorry to hear your experience resulted in a 1 star review. My sincere apologies if this wasn't clearly explained at the time, but this was an unfortunate error with the TripAdvisor booking system, which has since been resolved. While I understand the situation was less than ideal, I understood at the time that you were comfortable moving your booking to the following day. I also wasn’t aware this required you to extend your stay on the coast, and I sincerely apologise for that inconvenience. Had we known, we would have gladly explored alternative options with you. It was a pleasure to meet you in person the following day, and I’m truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t meet expectations. If there was anything more we could have done on the day, we would have welcomed the opportunity to address it at the time to ensure you had a positive experience with us. Thank you again for your feedback, it is genuinely important to us and helps us continue to improve.
We did the Oyster & Pearl lovers tour . The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable not only about oysters & pearls but the local area too. We were lucky enough to purchase the pearl that was discovered in oyster during our session of how to farm and grade akoya pearls and oyster. Great way to spend time during your visit to the region.
Thank you so much for your lovely review, we’re so glad you enjoyed the Oyster & Pearl Lovers experience. It’s wonderful to hear how much you connected with the team and the stories we share, not just about oysters and pearls, but the local area as well. That’s such an important part of what makes the experience special. How exciting that you were able to purchase the pearl discovered during your session, that’s such a unique and meaningful souvenir, and a beautiful reminder of your time with us. Thank you again for visiting, and we’re so pleased to hear you felt it was a great way to spend time in the region. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
Fantastic! Great day out on the water. Beautiful scenery packed with all sorts of information about oysters, their history and company. I highly recommend to all for a day out. The 3 types of oysters we tried were delish too! Also bought a AAA pearl that Aaron shucked, his PB I believe 7.8mm! Thanks all for the great day out
Thank you for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We are so pleased to hear you enjoyed your day out on the water, the scenery, and learning more about oysters and our history. It is great to know the oyster tasting was a highlight, and Aaron was very pleased with his harvest of a nearly 8mm pearl. Thank you again for the recommendation and for spending the day with us. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
Fabulous insight into the world of farming oysters. There was so much more to it than we expected. The initial talk describing the history of the Brown family was fascinating and the boat trip out to the oyster farm beds was both enjoyable and informative. Finally the tasting at the end of the trip and browsing the pearls and jewellery in the shop all made for a perfect day.
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed learning more about oyster farming and that the experience exceeded your expectations. Sharing the history of the Brown family is something we are very proud of, so it is wonderful to hear you found it fascinating. We are also pleased you enjoyed the boat trip, the oyster tasting, and spending time browsing the pearls and jewellery. Thank you for joining us and for making a day of it. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.
We had a great time for the visit. We were able to sleep on site with our van. The staff was very kind, helpful and available. The tasting was good as well as the explanations. We will be back with pleasure.
