The property was amazing and the written directions were very helpful and spot on to find our way to the property and to gain access to the house. I was a little bit thrown when accessing the home tha...t there was not much space for us to put our own things that we had bought (e.g cupboard foods, clothes and ownbe other things), also the water filter was not filled up, and there was no kindling avaliable to start the fire when we arrived. The host was very responsive when we reached out and yet we realised that within the kithen it was limited staples avaliable to use, (it would have been helpful for us to know this before we arrived e.g. sugar, oil, basic condiments). The property was amazing to go around the explore, watching the kangaroos and wallabies and the amazing sun rise. I even found my first emu feathers in the wild on the property- such a high light. Thank you

Such a beautiful cabin, with amazing views of the coastal uniqueness of Jervis bay and surrounding areas. Cabin itself is so quiet with cosy comfortable atmosphere. Marie was in contact promptly and had great instructions and assistance.

The cabin in the Escarpment was such a peaceful stay in a rustic little cabin. Perfect place to go to reconnect and recharge from the business for town.
Loved seeing the kangaroos and emu. The stars ...and view were just magical. Marie was an absolute delight to talk to. We will definitely be coming back for future stays.

Forest Bathe

our forests are special - they are the very beautiful and critically endangered Tall Open Basalt Forest Community - filled with mature and majestic trees

Lookout Over Tianjara Falls

Tianjara Falls was quite a nice discovery. It's not as busy as some others and you can park just a couple of meters from the lookout. No reason not to stop by when you're in the area.

Jerawongala Look Out

Spectacular views up and down the coast and farm far out to sea. its an incredible place to witness the majesty of the area

Nerriga Pub

Set in the tiny community of Nerriga and 22kms away this is a classic country public with a local atmosphere - enjoy a counter meal - weekends only - or a quite drink with the locals

Photo 1 for Hiking Along Hell Hole Trail

Hiking Along Hell Hole Trail

Hell Hole Trail is about a 4.5km return. It's a fire trail and can get a bit muddy when it's raining. The waterfall at the end is well worth it, there was nobody there when we visited which made it even more special.
