Amazing experience. From the moment we booked, we had constant communication, was even offered a free night because our stay was weather affected. Beautiful views, where pictures dont do justice. Even had time to feed the kangaroos with Ian in the morning. We are already planning our next trip back. You wont regret!!

We just had a magical stay at The Boathouse in Erowal Bay! The accommodation was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up. The location and views are stunning, and the local wildlife - including visiting kangaroos, parrots, pelicans, and a family of ducks with ducklings - made it feel extra special.Our senior dog also loved relaxing on the jetty and taking in the views and fresh air. Maria and Ian are wonderfully helpful hosts who made us feel right at home. Thank you so much for an unforgettable break - we can't wait to come back!

Very beautiful, very comfortable, very quiet loaction and set up.Excellent for a relaxing get away, close enough to all the tourists attractions to be enjoyed and far enough away for the tourists areas to enough your own space, the absolute best of both worlds.Would definitely recommend, it is the nicest place that we have stayed at in the Jarvis Bay region.Also the host family are very nice, friendly and accommodating.

Maria and her husband Ian were so welcoming and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay! We stayed here for our honeymoon, and it was the perfect place to celebrate. The accommodation is absolutely stunning, and we adored every minute of it. There’s plenty of space, and the private jetty is the cherry on top!Unfortunately, we didn’t spot any kangaroos or manage to catch any fish during our trip, but we did see some adorable ducklings. The evenings were quite windy and cold, so we didn’t get to enjoy being outside as much as we’d hoped.We used the BBQ every night, and the kitchen had absolutely everything we could possibly need. There were plenty of utensils, crockery and even an air fryer, which was a fun little bonus!The location is fantastic, too, with the local butcher and Woolworths only about a five-minute drive away.We honestly couldn’t recommend this beautiful little place enough. It’s peaceful, well-equipped, in a great location and worth every dollar. We’ll definitely be back!

Maria was super responsive in the lead up to our arrival. Ian met us when we arrived, showed us around, and shared a bunch of helpful local tips making sure we were comfortable for our stay. The place was clean, well set up, and felt properly looked after. The views were beautiful, and there were plenty of little touches and basics that made it feel more like home. Would happily stay again.
