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.

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.

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 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

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 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.

We had the most amazing stay and loved every minute spent here, i can not fault anything. Warren was so warm and friendly and was so helpful and he left us to enjoy our stay. The highlight was the kayaks which were used daily to enjoy the beautiful Erowal Bay that it is, we will definitely stay here again.

The three huntsmans scared our American guests (hilarious) and it was the wettest weather my wife (grew up in Bomaderry) had ever seen on the south coast. Nevertheless, we made the most of it and our host was lovely and great when we couldn't get the gas cooktop to fire up. It is a great spot and we hope to return one day when the weather is good. Thanks...

I booked this stay for my mum as a birthday gift. She really enjoyed her stay and said the property was lovely. Warren was so nice and was happy to offer to help with any requests. All in all I’m glad I booked the trip as it was a great get away!

We had a very relaxing stay. The property is right on the water and was perfect for kayaking and paddle boarding. We enjoyed watching the kangaroos and toasting marshmallows in the fire pit.

The house was quite comfortable . The bed linen was very basic and the quilt so thin that it was a bit cold at night. The appliances were all modern and in good condition. The kayaks were a great bonus. It would have been good to have better weather to make use of them. Warren was very friendly.

My husband and I had a wonderful time. Warren was a fabulous host. The house was charming and clean. We visited many beaches around St George’s Basin. It was nice to come back and relax after a long day of exploring. Will definitely stay again.

We took our doddering old lab-kelpie for two whole weeks to George's on The Basin for his last seaside holiday. We loved it. Classic old beach cottage looking out to the beautiful estuary, with nearby Jervis Bay beaches and towns, all lovely. Warren was a font of knowledge and always fun to chat with. When the weather closed in, he knew all the wind-protected spots to visit.
Highly recommended!

Erowal Bay weekend away
The cottage was very cute and welcoming as we arrived to find the place nice and warm as our host had thoughtfully turned on the aircon. Views out over the water were spectacular and we enjoyed the firepit at night. Nice and convenient to Huskisson for coffee and food and lots of beautiful beaches close by. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you Warren for your hospitality.

A beautiful location, with a lovely home built in 1960. Water views right at your door step. People will enjoy this place, great to get away with the family. 10min from Huskison. Plenty to do and explore.

Picturesque sleepy town. So much wildlife! - giant pelicans, ducks and even spotted a kangaroo one morning. My son, dog and I enjoyed a much needed break away in a comfortable cottage with lovely views!

The property was clean and easy to find, kitchen well appointed, shower very good! Sadly the weather was awful for our stay, but with books, Netflix etc provided it was perfect for a very lazy weekend. Close to Hyams/Iluka Beach, Huskisson for short trips. Kangaroos visited after dark every night!
