Rosella - Bay & Bush Retreat - 5 mins to Hyams Beach, Jervis Bay, pet-friendly

Erowal Bay is the perfect base to enjoy all that Jervis Bay has to offer - bushwalks, beach days, kayaking, water sports and dolphin and whale cruises. The village has a tennis club, a boat ramp (500m away) and a cute local store that sells alcohol, groceries and petrol, and wood-fired pizzas on weekends.

There is also plenty of room on the grounds to park your boat.

You will be spoilt for choice for beaches. In addition to Hyams (our local beach just 5 minutes by car), Booderee National Park is just a 10-minute drive, and has multiple stunning beaches. The many dog-friendly and off-leash beaches of Vincentia and Huskisson are also just 10 minutes away.

Stock up at Vincentia shopping centre (which includes Aldi, Woolies, BWS, a butcher and a pharmacy), just a 5-minute drive away. For cafes, breweries and restaurants Huskisson is a short 10-minute drive.

Linen, towels and beach towels are provided.

* Rosella has a full-size and well-appointed kitchen (with dishwasher), but no traditional hob/oven. Instead, we have two induction hob plates, a large combi-microwave/air-fryer, and a Weber gas BBQ.

* Owing to our position at the top of the hill and plenty of large windows (all with fly screens) Rosella generally gets a good breeze. For balmy days, there is aircon and a ceiling fan in the living room. The front bedroom has a ceiling fan, and the rear bedroom has a pedestal fan.

* The TV has a Chromecast so that you can stream your subscriptions (Netflix, etc).

* Neither the front nor the back garden is fenced. Children and dogs must be supervised at all times.

* Many kangaroos live in and around Erowal Bay and visit our garden daily. Remember they are wild animals - respect them and keep your distance.

* We are lucky to live back-to-back with Booderee National Park (literally!). Please remember that all of its wild inhabitants live here too.
