Considerably larger than Sydney harbour Jervis Bay is one of only a couple of Marine Parks in New South Wales. Offering some of the whitest sand and clearest waters in the world Jervis Bay is a unique and amazing place.

Originally know only as a small fishing village on the South Coast, Jervis Bay is evolving into a regular year round coastal escape, extremely popular among Australian tourists. In fact, Jervis Bay is one of the most visited regions in Australia only after Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Although people refer to the area as “Jervis Bay” it is actually the towns of Huskisson and Vincentia that provide us with all facilities. Huskisson and Vincentia have a variety of cafes and restaurants while the Husky Pub is the favourite local watering hole.

Jervis Bay is home to an amazing variety of wildlife both in and around the Marine Park and various surrounding National Parks. There are about 80 resident dolphins, migrating whales, seals, fairy penguins, sea eagles, pelicans, kangaroos and a whole lot more for all to see.

Jervis Bay has been home to Aboriginal tribes for over 20 000 years and they continue to live in the area managing Booderee National Park (Booderee meaning “Bay of Plenty”). There is still a strong sense of tradition in the area with a number of tours and activities available that can show how life used to be for the native Australians.

Not highly recognised on the backpacker’s trail Jervis Bay is off the “beaten track” some might say. This is not a place that takes up 3 pages of the bible (Lonely Planet) but that is the way we like it and it is reflected in the guests we have stay. We service people who want to experience the true Australia, our wildlife, our beaches and our people.
