"Possum"s Retreat" - a cute and appealing B&B room with queen size bed in a waterfront residence in Erowal Bay, only 2 minutes drive from stunning Hyams Beach.
We have 2 rooms available, both with a private entry and a deck with a leafy garden outlook.
Both rooms have a private bathroom, one with a large walk- in shower. A fridge and tea and coffee making facilities are available in both rooms. Our White Sands rooms also has a toaster and a coffee machine. An optional continental breakfast is usually available (for this room only) comprising delicious home-made and local produce.

It's only minutes from cafes, restaurants, bars, the famous "Husky Pub", and the amenities of Vincentia and Huskisson.
Just a short walk away is the Erowal Bay General Store, which is also licensed for takeaway alcohol. Delicious home made pizzas are available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
Enjoy local activities such as swimming, whale and dolphin watching, surfing, fishing, kayaking, bicycle riding, tennis and golf.

We loved this cozy spot. It’s got enough for a little scape from the city.

The space was small but set up well for our overnight stay for a wedding nearby. Cute little table just outside the door for taking refreshments overlooking the garden. Well signposted on the street. We appreciated Vicky responding promptly to our communications and allowing an early check in to meet the wedding start time.

A very cute and well kept BnB. I didn’t meet the host at all, but the check-in and check-out process was easy and the place was wonderful. Will look to stay again when I revisit Jervis Bay.

Lovely peaceful and clean place to stay with friendly hosts who look after you. So close to Hyams Beach and the National Park, awesome location for a relaxing break.

Communication & check in was easy. Accomodation was compact but had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean. Our hosts were very friendly and full of useful information about the local area. To be honest I hadn’t noticed that there was no air con in the blurb, but the ceiling fans and the windows let in a good breeze and kept the temperature comfortable. There is a courtesy bus home to the door on Friday & Saturday nights from Huskisson pub & club. A lovely quiet little spot to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Huskisson.

The property was located directly at a lake which made for a beautiful view. Apartment was very clean, well furnished and equipped for eating dinner purposes for two.
Owner was very friendly and we felt welcome immediately.
We will gladly come back if we happen to be in the area again.

I have for years hunted and enjoyed bnb accommodation and enjoyed many unique experiences. Important to me is privacy and view. Advertising for this accommodation seemed to support this. Unfortunately the property lacked both. Adjoining walls to the main house with connecting door in the bathroom (locked) and shared entry porch gave minimal privacy with security light repeatedly activated throughout the night. The view from the room was of the main property front door, garage back wall and clothes line. On the positive the room was clean with a comfortable bed. However the space was tight with a limited, sparse kitchen. There was a lack of air circulation as most windows were locked. We all look for different aspects in accommodation and I did read many positive comments in the visitors book.. just not ours. I booked for three relaxing nights and stayed for one. Expensive mistake.

Possum’s Retreat was perfect for us!
Hosts are beautiful with their advice for adventures around the area, which was awesome to do.
We will definitely organise another booking at the Possum’s Retreat when we’re down there again.

We enjoyed our short stay at this location. A cute & cosy room. Very modern in its setup.
We liked the location, especially being right next door to Bream Beach on Erowal Bay. The outstanding Hyams Beach is a short drive away.
And we would recommend the Huskisson Hotel for dinner.
All in all a very enjoyable stay.

Lovely place. Very clean and organized. Close to beaches.
Vicky was very responsive providing very detailed information on check-in and bthings to do in the area. Was very flexible in changing the reservation dates as I originally booked wrong dates. The place is recommended.

The room was great but needs aircon as the room faces the road and the breeze does not come into the room and the fan only 1 speed does not do much as i also think the fan needs attention .
It was in a location close to all the things that i needed for my tours around the area.
8.0
A handy place for short visits to the fantastic beaches around Jervis Bay. Not easy to self-cater, as although there is crockery and cutlery provided, there’s no easy way to wash up. Huskisson Hotel about 15 mins drive, does great food.

Our stay was relaxing and fun, just the break we were hoping for. Vicky and Col delivered a fantastic breakfast hamper and the room was clean and well equipped. Comfie bed and close to our favourite beaches.
We'll definitely be back!

The posting was misleading. When reserving a Bed and Breakfast one would expect BREAKFAST. We received a message a few days before arriving stating breakfast was only provided for those staying in one out of the two rooms, and ours wasn’t the “chosen one.” We were driving along the coast and really hoping we could walk to a restaurant or the beach or anything(!) from where we were staying. There’s nothing within walking distance, so we had to get back in our vehicle and drive more. It’s a small bedroom and the air conditioner was off and not accessible on a hot day. We bought cereal and milk and made our own breakfast in the BATHROOM where the fridge is. It made for some good laughs, but I don’t recommend!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to Vicky for being so accomodating with our booking.
On the day we were due to check in I tested positive for covid. I reached out to Vicky to see if a couple of family members could take the booking instead and she replied quickly saying that would be fine.
The family members who took the booking had a lovely time and enjoyed the stay at the property and its location.

Love the privacy. It is like a hotel room with a bathroom, deck, fridge, kettle, coffee, and a tv.
You can enjoy the bay view at the back of the property. Very close to the main beaches.

This accomodation is in such a beautiful area, where it’s a really quick and easy drive to beaches and cafes. We had a great time!

Property is listed as B and B . A few days before we arrived we received an email to say owner would be away for the first morning so couldn’t make breakfast for us but there was a shop nearby. Even if we bought food, there was no sink to wash utensils in beside bathroom washbasin and only bin was the toilet bin. We feel she could have left some basics like cereal, cheese or yoghurts or something in lieu of breakfasts. As a result we had to eat breakfast out both mornings.

Vicky was very informative on things to see and visit around Erowal Bay. The room was perfect for my partner and I, very comfortable. Loved going down to the water for a drink behind the property. Easy to get into Huskisson and beautiful beaches surrounding.

Unfortunately we weren't able to see or experience the beauty of the area as from our arrival to departure the rain was bucketing down. Our room was dry and warm and perfectly adequate. Thanks Vicki

Very clean, the bathroom was a good size and a great shower. Such a comfortable bed. The breakfast we ordered was great. The only thing I would say is for us oldies, is the television was a bit too small and a bit of an eye strain. Other than that no complaints whatsoever.
