Neighborhood

Nature and water lovers will be in paradise here! Old Erowal Bay is the perfect mix of a quiet village feel just a short walk to the water, whilst being 5 minutes from Hyams Beach and a short drive to the Booderee National Park, Huskisson and Vincentia. St Georges Basin, just a few minutes stroll away, is a stunning, expansive lake in the heart of the Shoalhaven, just minutes from beautiful Jervis Bay. Perfect for boating, fishing, swimming or just paddling with the kids in the shallows, the calm waters of the Basin make this an idyllic spot for your next holiday. Enjoy the abundance of parks and reserves - including direct access to the Booderee National Park - from the water or take your boat all the way to Sussex Inlet. Around the Basin, you'll find spectacular sunsets over the water and many secluded spots to enjoy the peace of this often undiscovered gem. Meanwhile, Jervis Bay's white sand beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters earned the area international acclaim for being one of the most spectacular destinations in the world, all less than three hours from Sydney and just two and a half from Canberra. Whether you’re a beach bum, walker, cyclist, water sports enthusiast, nature lover or foodie, there’s something for you. There are dozens of beaches to choose from, many served by a water side walking/cycling track that runs for nearly ten kilometres from Huskisson to Hyams Beach. Whilst in the Booderee National Park (just a few minutes drive from Olive) you’ll find yet more stunning, secluded beaches, kilometres of bush walks and spectacular flora and fauna. Just a few minutes from the house, you'll also find the waters of the Basin where you can swim, fish, sail or paddle and enjoy the most spectacular sunsets. The calm Bay waters are home to over a hundred of bottlenose dolphins and, from June to November, become one of the best places in Australia to see the annual migration of humpback whales.

The place is welcoming, spacious and full of nature. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and having a nice bath after long days of exploring Jervis Bay. Communication with the hosts was easy and everything went great!
