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.
Visit The botanic Gardens in Booderee National Park (open 9am - 5pm daily) or stop by the visitor centre (9am - 4pm daily.)

Guest Comments

This is a lovely property in a stunning location. The interiors are very tastefully decorated and are at the same time comfortable. There is a big comfy bed, charming original bathroom with a big deep bath. All the appliances are there that you need, the owners are extremely friendly and welcoming. I can highly recommend this property

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.
