A Short drive to the beautiful beaches of Jervis Bay and 12 minutes from Nowra, Shoalhaven Lodge offers absolute waterfront, self-contained accommodation in chalet-style buildings tucked away in an idyllic, quiet, 109 acre rural property. Each chalet is set well apart to allow guests freedom and privacy and accommodates couples, families or groups. All have sunny verandahs and magnificent Shoalhaven River, escarpment, and mountain views. There is abundant fauna and flora, park-like picnic areas, and a boat ramp 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.
When hiring the 3 chalets no other guests will be on the property. There is space for games and activities and if you love water activities there is no better place! Family and friends celebrations work fantastically!! We have a private boat ramp and jetty. You can swim, fish or ski until you drop. Evenings are beautiful – sit back and watch fabulous sunsets. The scenery is special, the river unbelievable. You can go upstream or visit Shoalhaven Heads and Greenwell Point downstream. You can even go out to the ocean!
Nowra is a popular town and a great base for day trips to the Shoalhaven’s many attractions with most no more than 10 to 30 minutes away, including the beautiful Jervis Bay National Park with it's wonderful beaches and the historic townships of Kangaroo Valley and Berry.
Please 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 that due to local council restrictions we do not have a washing machine or clothes dryer. There is a wash tub and external cloths line. Also, 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.
Please note TV reception in the Waratah building is variable due to the large escarpment reducing the signal strength and quality. We are unable to improve the signal. The 4G signal with Telstra is generally very good.
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.

The venue was perfect for our extended family getaway. The cabins were clean and comfortable, and the grounds were lovely. Alan is a great host, helpful at check in and checkout, whilst allowing us privacy in between.
