WOW!!!
The cottage was amazing from the moment the door was opened. The cottage is extremely spacious and has everything you need; from the lounge room to the kitchen to the bathroom and outside with a BBQ and patio area. The grounds also have a shed for the kids to play and enjoy themselves. There was also a garden on site to pick your own fresh produce and enjoy with lunch and dessert. A hidden gem within the beautiful and world renowned Jervis Bay!

Top stay in Jervis Bay
We stayed in the Honeymoon Bay cottage and it was stunning. The bed so comfortable and the quality of furnishings and decor was beautiful. The tea & coffee supplies were plentiful and a few pantry essentials in the kitchen very thoughtful. There were plenty of towels including beach towels which were a bonus for trips to the beaches. Also a really nice touch were the top of the range vegan shampoo & conditioner supplied. The owners were really friendly and gave lots of good local tips and advice. Also there was free WiFi and the ability to log into Netflix using the TV. The grounds were so peaceful and great to watch the Kangaroos roaming round. Would definitely stay again!

AMAZING! This property is simply amazing! The cottage has everything you could need and was super clean and comfortable. This property offers so much privacy set in the bush, it is so relaxing and only a short drive to the beach! You really do get best of both worlds! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable stay with their own privacy and amazing amenities!! Do not hesitate book now! It is worth every penny!

The General Store room we stayed in was very nice, the spa was great. Loved how quiet it was. It was so quiet that you should be able to sleep like a baby.......However.......and this is a big however.....we turned the lights off to go to sleep and there was a BIG RIDICULOUS BRIGHT RED LIGHT on the ceiling. Assuming its the smoke alarm. This was so bright that it lit up the whole room and made sleeping without an eyemask next to impossible. Its literally like staring at a laser pointer. We tried everything we could to cover it, but the ceiling was too high. I could have read a book in the room with the lights off. This was a real shame as the place is so beautiful and quiet with great character. Would not book again unless the laser pointer smoke alarm is gone.

Hi Tim, We are sorry to hear that you had some issue with the smoke detector (new installation). The red bright light has been fixed since your stay, we wish you told us while you were here so we could have fixed it for you. We hope to see you again soon, Regards

This is the sort of accomodation that we look for everywhere we go, but rarely find. Top shelf accomodation with privacy, space and close to everything. All in a bush setting. The new owners (7 months) have set about bringing the property up to world standard and they are doing a cracking job. Several unique buildings with all amenities and parking, set in a bushland of tall trees and off the main road. Perfect. The managers are responsive, focused and nothing is a problem. My ad vice is, if you visit the Jervis Bay area get in soon. The word will get out and you won't be able to get in. Cracking spot with my highest recommendation.

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to review the property. We are actually closed for renovation in August during that month we are painting the cottages, refurbishing them with new furniture, linen etc and landscaping the property. We are really keen to have you stay with us again and let us know what you think of the changes we made. Regards Jervis Bay Retreat

Super cute kitsch
We stayed in The General Store cottage for two nights. It was the best!! Inside is decked out with old advertisements of vintage products like arnotts saos and pears soap. The spa was great. We didn’t see any of the staff at all, and the grounds were super quiet (apart from the cicadas!) We will definitely be visiting again.

Retreat in the wood
I slept over the weekend in the Post Office room; overall the place is quiet and at the same time about 10-20 minutes drive away from the beaches, so it is a good alternative to a waterfront option

Fabulous Retreat
This terrific escape was last minute. We stayed in the General Store and spoke to folks who were in the Bank. This charming "village" created around a rotunda and containing a variety of options was JUST GREAT. We could come and go to local attractions and although we stayed on a FRANTIC Long Weekend we could escape to the tranquility and PEACE of our self contained bushland surrounded cottage easily PLUS we could self cater. There was a well appointed kitchen, pots, pans, microwave and an outdoor BBQ...all not too far from the local HUGE Supermarket. The standard of accommodation, the cleanliness and spaciousness was perfect for two people or might have easily accommodated guests or a small family. Reasonably priced and left alone we felt COMPLETELY satisfied with this RETREAT and would happily come again.
