Dungowan Erowal Bay

The balcony overlooking the lake was a highlight, especially at sunset. Pelicans and ducks around the water made everything feel peaceful. There were free kayaks, paddle boats to hire for a small fee, parking off the street for cars and boats, and four 7kW EV chargers. Our room was clean and well kept, with the basic amenities. A few things could be better: there was no shower gel or shampoo, the bedroom mirror was hard to use with such poor lighting, and the air conditioner kept switching itself off around 1 a.m. and again at 4 a.m., which disrupted our sleep. Still, it's a lovely spot for the views and facilities, and a few improvements would make it even better.

Dirk and Dawn are always so friendly and ready to help, and they take good care of us. We come down to Jervis Bay once a year for a family break, and this is where we usually stay. The apartment is clean and new, with a great outlook over St Georges Basin. Thanks for having us again. As I write this, we're actually on our way there now 😆. These photos are from earlier stays.

There was lots of space for the kids to run around, both in the outdoor area and in the large living and dining space. The four-bedroom house had decent rooms, friendly hosts, and lovely water views. We spent three nights there and saw fish, pelicans, ducks, and even a sting ray in the water. Groceries and restaurants are a 7-minute drive away. Kayaks are free to use, and the price was very reasonable. I'll recommend it to friends visiting Jervis Bay.

Our family loved it, and Bella, our Fox Terrier, did too. Such a lovely lakeside spot with fabulous hosts, and it's very pet-friendly. Best holiday we've had as a family. We've already booked for 2026, see you then. Tangi & Matt
