About this property

Bush and Bay Cottage - Jervis Bay

*** Free EV Charger & WIFI is included in your stay! ***

We include linen and towels and make your beds up for your arrival.

We are one of only a few properties in the entire Jervis Bay area which provide free EV charging to our guests.

Bush & Bay Cottage is a comfortable, cosy three bedroom house, with full air-conditioning/heating backing onto Jervis Bay National Park making this a popular drop in spot for a local family of kangaroos. It is popular with families, and also frequented by couples and groups of friends as well as international guests who love seeing the wildlife.

The cottage has three bedrooms and sleeps 6 - two large rooms featuring queen size beds, and a third bedroom with two single king beds. The additional sofa bed in the living room increases numbers up to 8 in need.

Enjoy the wood combustion heater during the colder months, and the large country style balcony to relax outside during the warmer months. We have air conditioning to keep you cool or warm depending on the time of the year, across all rooms.

The dining table accommodates 6 people and dining bench 4.

There is plenty of parking on the property beside the Cottage or out the front.

You will find additional items such as a dishwasher, air-conditioning, microwave, washing machine, dryer, BBQ, and oil heaters as well as the wood fire, and unlimited fire wood.

Erowal Bay originated as a small fishing village on the shores of St Georges Basin, and still retains its sleepy charm. The Basin is ideal for fishing, kyaking, sailing and recreational watercraft. The boat ramp is only 800 metres from the cottage.

Enter Booderee National Park 5 kms away and you are officially in the Australian Capital Territory. The Park is stunning with white beaches, walking trails, diving, and offers free tours and activities for park entry holders during school holidays.

4 kms away are the whitest sands of Hyams Beach offering great swimming in the hotter months, and very scenic walking along the shores all year long.

Nearby Vincentia has a Woolworths, Aldi and Coles supermarket and Huskisson is the gateway to cafes, restaurants, dolphin and whale watching tours and a very quaint movie theatre.

Great tennis courts (6) are located in the same street and can be hired almost anytime outside of competition on Saturdays.

Between May and November why not enjoy the amazing experience of whale watching? Or meet some of the many dolphins which live in Jervis Bay between October and May.

Sorry - no parties - no under age drinking permitted.

Erowal Bay Stay

We all felt extremely comfortable for our week long stay. Everything we required was provided for. The kids enjoyed daily visits from kangaroos, kookaburras, and parrots. The whole area was wonderful, but we all particularly enjoyed Huskisson township.

The little touches make the difference

Very relaxing stay in this amazing place. The owners went to the effort of ensuring firewood was readily available, the kitchen had all the little things (salt, pepper, oil etc) and even a bottle of wine on the counter. We loved the stay and will definitely be back.
Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2020

Fantastic Property

We had a great weekend away at Bush and Bay Cottage. We are a family of 5 and the house was the perfect size. The house was spacious with beautiful little touches. A home away from home! Geoff was very easy to deal with and accommodating. The bottle of wine was a lovely gesture, the bbq was lovely and clean, bedding great quality and plenty of items for use in the kitchen. The kangaroos were lovely to see not only in our yard but the whole area. The kids loved feeding the birds and the fireplace was the best! Plenty of timber! Thanks again Geoff. I would highly recommend this place. Just beautiful.

Cosy and comfortable place, quiet location!

We enjoyed our stay at your cottage. It was very calm, cosy and comfortable. The kids enjoyed the morning visits by the kangaroos and the birds. Thank you for the bottle of wine, we enjoyed sipping on it by the fireplace :). It was a peaceful weekend getaway!

Lovely Comfortable Cottage

We spent 6 days at Bush and Bay. The cottage is spacious, very comfortable and well equipped with everything you would need to have a relaxing stay. The abundance of local wildlife around the cottage was amazing, so many kangaroos! The owner has set-up the property to make it feel like a home away from home. Perfect.

A wonderfully relaxing stay- again!

This is our 4th visit to Bush and Bay and- as always- we have all had a great time. It doesn't matter what the weather is doing, you'll find lots to do both in and out of the house. Our two children enjoyed investigating the toys & games in the lounge room and visiting the local swimming pool on a rainy Sunday this time! For sunny days, you can't beat going dolphin-spotting at Hyams' Beach. If you have visitors to Australia staying, this is the place to come and see kangaroos- they hop about the front garden! The log burner is great for chilly winter evenings, or there are plenty of radiators to heat things up if you aren't in the mood to make a fire. The house has everything you need to make your stay a real 'home from home'- we love it!

Great place to stay!

We went back last weekend for our second stay at the Bush & Bay Cottage and we enjoyed our stay as much as the first time. The cottage has everything you need to relax, cook, and have a nice time with your friend or family. The owners are also very nice so I will recommend this place without any hesitation

Fantastic property

We loved our stay at bush and bay cottage so so much. We will definitely be coming back. The house was so beachy so comfortable so relaxed. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It was my husband and myself and our children and their partners and we all loved it. The verandas were a great spot to spend time especially in the hammocks! The beds were very comfy the rooms were lovely and it was great that we didn't have to bring linen or towels. Geoff was so friendly from my first phonecall so that pretty much sold us on this property. He remained the same throughout. Always so pleasant and easy to deal with. We stayed an extra night didn't want to leave!

Very nice stay

Quiet area with quick access by car to Hyams beach, Jervis Bay national park and Vincentia. House is clean and well furnished. We had an issue with the wifi not working (because of previous thunderstorms) but the owner gave us a discount.

Wildlife a plenty

House and the beds were very comfortable, loved the wood fire, and the wildlife - Kangaroos with joeys, wrens, pelicans and we caught a fish ( off the local jetty) House is close driving distance to the national park which is what we wanted and close but far enough from the business of Husskinson. Good family accommodation.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff Martin

Host profile image
With my husband Geoff and two children, we have made Jervis Bay our second home and enjoy spending numerous times each year relaxing at Bush & Bay Cottage.

Why they chose this property

My favourite time is my daily walk along Hyams Beach just a five minute drive away, along the world famous white sands, with little signs of civilisation. Most of the time we are back in Sydney, which is when our guests get to use the Cottage exclusively, and hopefully enjoy nature as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We back onto Jervis Bay National Park, so most days we have kangaroos wandering through our property, as well as along the streets nearby.
