About this property

The Cottage at Shoalhaven Lodge, Absolute Waterfront

A Short drive to the beautiful beaches of Jervis Bay and 12 minutes from Nowra, Shoalhaven Lodge offers almost 1km of absolute waterfront, self-contained accommodation tucked away in an idyllic, quiet, 100 acre rural property.

The Cottage has been fully renovated and is very private (no curtains in the living areas - only in the bedrooms). There is abundant fauna and flora, park-like acres/picnic areas, private bush walks, and a boatramp and jetty for your water activities. Perfect for long holidays, romantic escapes and short breaks any time of the year. A 'piece of heaven' that will not disappoint.

Very nice and private
Alan, the owner, is very friendly and shared with us on which app to download and where to visit to maximise our stay there. The cottage is very tidy and clean. The most important thing is that it is a very private place which what we like. The view is amazing and we could watch sunrise from the cottage! A great experience!

Quite & Peaceful
A had a very short stay at the Cottage over the long weekend, very private, peaceful and serenity. Spacious 2 bedroom 1 bathroom cottage, large kitchen (gas appliances) and dining room. Sunny lounge room and verandah. View of river from house/verandah (1 tree in the way) Laundry with washing machine no dryer, clothesline at rear. Air-conditioner in lounge room/dining room & kitchen, fans in bedrooms. Bathroom with bath and separate shower and toilet (unable to use bath due to water restrictions). Bbq provided. Tank water usage. Beautiful property to walk around and fish beside the river. Private boat ramp for guests use only. Would be lovely to stay here in Summer and bring your boat / kayak to use on the river. Other Lodges on property available to rent. Owners very welcoming.

A superb escape
Our young family visited Shoalhaven lodge for a quick weekend escape & found it a little slice of paradise. We enjoyed fishing, bushwalking & just hanging out in the peaceful surrounds. The cottage was cosy & clean, perfect for a family. We’ll be back!

Quiet, Clean and Beautiful
We had a relaxing long weekend.. Alan was very friendly. The cottage was very clean and all the basic amenities were provided. Only thing that was bothering me was the door locks. They got locks but staying in the middle of nature reserve I would expect a better locks/doors so that you feel bit more secure. Its a personal preference though as I stayed with my wife and 2 year old. If you are going in groups then I dont think it will be an issue. The one I stayed was away from other cottages and was in middle of the trees..

nightmare
Owner was friendly. However, we had to deal with toilet blockage just few hours after we arrived. We couldn't use the only toilet available as usual which was not good for kids mon and myself. We had to cut our holiday and leave next morning which was a big disappointment for the kids and us as parents ad we have been looking forward to having a relaxing holiday after a hard working previous months.

Aah the serenity...
An oasis of nature where one can relax and unwind with magnificent scenery. The owners, Alan and Claire, were lovely. They immediately replaced our iron with a brand new one when we told them the old one didn't work. We took our kayak and enjoyed our time on the river. We'll be back!

Beautiful very clean and quiet. The owners are very friendly and helpful.
Would highly recommend this property for families or couples. Kangaroos and a wombat were just wondering around and the water is great fir fishing and skiing. Will definitely be back with the rest of the family.
