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.)

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.

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.

So chilled.
This is a cute little cottage by the water. Warren is a great host. The site is so peaceful with a great view over the water. So easy to relax and a short drive to great beaches and walks. Excellent pizzas, even great gluten free pizzas just a short stroll away. Our pup loved it too. Hope to return sometime.

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

Perfect getaway
We had a lovely time in this very cute little holiday cottage. The cottage is nicely decorated and had everything we needed for a weekend away. The location was magic - water views from the windows, picnic table positioned perfectly under the trees for a drink or two by the water. The kayaks were great (so nice not to have to worry about bringing our own) and we enjoyed exploring the Bay. George's is in a fantastic spot with lovely soft sand and quite shallow for some distance - excellent spot for kids. Warren and Lilly (the Beagle) were wonderful hosts, it was so great to have a chat! Thank you so much for sharing your lovely place, we will definitely be back again!

Lovely spot
Lovely spot for a getaway. It was relaxing from the moment we walked in the door and the location is perfect for getting away from the rat race for a few days. Beds were extremely comfortable and everyone in the area was really friendly. Took my little doggo and he was very welcome and had a great time with Lilly who was very good with a young pup.
