About this property
The Cottage at Shoalhaven Lodge, Absolute Waterfront
A Short drive to the beautiful beaches of Jervis Bay and 12 minutes from Nowra, Shoalhaven Lodge offers absolute waterfront, self-contained accommodation tucked away in an idyllic, quiet, 109 acre rural property.
The Cottage has been fully renovated and is very private (no curtains in the living areas - only in the bedrooms). There is abundant fauna and flora, park-like picnic areas, and a boatramp and jetty for your water activities. Perfect for short holidays, romantic escapes and short breaks any time of the year. A 'piece of heaven' that will not disappoint.
Pease note we are NOT a 'Party' venue. We focus on families and couples and under no circumstances do we accept bookings from all male (or substantially male) guests. When making an inquiry or booking please indicate the number of men, women and children so we can ensure we are the right venue for you.
Please note that all rivers are inherently dangerous. Use of the river is at your own risk and nobody should use the river without wearing suitable lifejackets. Supervision is also essential and mandatory for all children.
Please note water is untreated/untested tank water. We have never had any issues, however, if you have any concerns we advise you to boil all water and also bring your own bottled water. We are required by law to advise you that the water quality may not meet health guidelines.
The property is 109 acres. For safety reasons guests are only allowed access to their building and the immediately surrounding cleared areas. Access to all bushland, animal paddocks, and any other area, is not allowed.
Please ensure you agree to all the specified ‘House Rules’ before making your booking.
