THINGS TO DO

Erowal Bay is a quiet village on St. Georges Basin in an area of natural beauty surrounded by kangaroos, pelicans and other wildlife, but only minutes from Jervis Bay and the townships of Hyams Beach, Vincentia and Huskisson . It is located 3 hours from Sydney or 2.5 hours from Canberra and Sydney airport. The area is perfect for walking, playing tennis at the local village courts or relaxing in the sleepy village atmosphere surrounded by kangaroos and other wildlife.
Waterskiing, fishing, canoeing and windsurfing are just some of the activities to be enjoyed on St George's Basin.
There is a boat ramp 300 metres away, and local food fired pizza (generally three nights a week).
Attractions at nearby Jervis Bay (Huskisson, Vincentia and Hyams Beach) include dolphin cruises, scuba diving, cafes, restaurants, golf course, movie theatre and supermarkets.
Booderee National Park, a 10 minute drive away is a place of outstanding natural beauty. 'Booderee' is an Aboriginal word from the Dhurga language meaning 'bay of plenty' or 'plenty of fish'. Booderee is owned by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community and has always been a significant place for Koori people. Please care for the land and waters as this is a very special place. Booderee offers a wide range of activities. Learn about Koori culture and traditional foods through Booderee's Aboriginal interpretive program. Enjoy a wide range of walks, surf at Cave beach or swim among the fish in the tranquil waters of Green Patch beach. The historic Cape St George Lighthouse is the perfect location for whale and bird watching.

Our host Warren was a true gent in every sense and made us feel very welcome ensuring that our 2 grandkids could make use of the kayaks that were there.There was a small issue with the toilet cistern which was resolved after Warren got a new part And as an ex plumber, I quickly replaced.The accommodation could be considered rustic, but everything worked and was perfect for our stay.

Wonderful location and incredibly relaxing, whilst just a short drive away from the hustle and bustle of Husky and the amazing beaches. Our son loved the kayaks, fire pit, local wildlife and hammock and great that our dog could join us. The property is more on the quaint than modern side, but that added to its character. Was a bit pricey for our stay and could do with a bit more crockery, but otherwise we couldn’t fault it.

A very relaxing stay. Lots of beautiful dog friendly beaches near by. Drove around the area including out to Kangaroo Valley and Fitzroy Falls. Nearby Huskisson has several great pubs, cafes and restaurants. However I think the best was sitting by the lake with a drink watching the sunset.

Hidden getaway gem

The house is super cosy with backyard access to the bay, kayaks to watch the sunset in and only 5-10 mins from some of the worlds best beaches. Perfect for chilling on the couch or by the firepit and reading or as a launch base for a weekend of adventure. Warren was also one of the best hosts we've had.

Charming little cottage

I stayed at this quiet, self sufficient cottage during our visit to Jervis Bay with my father, my spouse and a little 5 year old on a family getaway. It was a really comfortable stay and it was so peaceful and quiet with a nice view of the bay. The communication with the owner was great and the check in and check out process was very smooth. I will definitely be back whenever I am visiting this area.

COTTAGE BY THE LAKE

This charming cottage on the waterfront is perfect for a restful stay where you can unwind from the stress of city living. Sunlight filters in all day and you can sit by the fire pit at night and enjoy a drink under the stars. There is a general store near by and supermarkets are a 10 minute drive away. We enjoyed fishing and kayaking which were available for us to use. The cottage is very comfortable and is perfect for a getaway. Warren was great to deal with. Overall a perfect getaway.

Fabulous getaway

Fabulous little cottage, really clean, great location. Warren knew we were hoping to have a fire and we came back from dinner to one already roaring away. Loved the kayaks and resident possum! Just a point, the cottage is set back from the water with two properties set forward on either side. Doesn’t impact the lovely view at all, but if you like to wander around in your pjs like me, it’s something to be aware of. Loved our stay
