How can we help you?

COVID MODIFICATIONS  (Open Weekends – October 2020 to May 2021)

We are only operating ONE GUEST ROOM only (The Verandah Room)

It is ROOM ONLY, so NO BREAKFAST or access the to guest sitting-room – sorry!

We are currently opening WEEKENDS only (Friday/Saturday/Sunday and 2 night minimum – discount for 3 nights.)

The room has private secure contactless access from the front verandah and we will give you a code to get the key from a safe.

We may be around, in our own section of the house, but we are completely separate.

We are using hospital grade disinfectant and cleaning products and leaving the room empty for 24 hours between guests.

Cleaning, as always, is very thorough and detailed.

Quality Sanitiser is provided for you in the room.

With a background in TV we chose Jervis Bay as our home because of its unique, unspoiled beauty.  Having travelled all over the world we fell in love with Huskisson and bought the historic Huskisson Bed and Breakfast to restore, renovate and create our own version of the perfect place to stay.

Yes. Both rooms have cast iron clawfoot baths and showers. The Porch Room shower is over the bath so if you need a walk-in shower choose the Verandah Room

We are no longer serving breakfast. There are many wonderful cafes and takeaways 5 minutes walk away.

Your room has a fridge, kettle and microwave and you can sit on the lovely verandah.

We are only operating one room – the beautiful four poster VERANDAH ROOM

We are offering ROOM ONLY at the moment but there are plenty of lovely places to eat breakfast or a lazy brunch 5 minutes walk away.

During COVID restrictions we are not allowing access to the sitting-room or any internal common areas.

Due to COVID (and a huge change in the insurance industry) we are currently only able to take bookings through the AirBnB gateway. You can click on any of the booking links on this website and it will take you to a secure AirBnB booking system to book THE VERANDAH ROOM. Rates, Terms and conditions are there too – it ranges from $195 to $225.

This is a huge change and we do apologise but we currently have no other options.

We live separately in the main part of the house now.

Guests let themselves into their rooms via a keysafe with direct private access from the verandah. 

We are available for help with anything, or advice about activities in Jervis Bay, but we leave you alone and give you plenty of privacy.

That said, we have made some wonderful friends and have many, many returning guests.

We are very sorry but we no longer take any children or infants.

Yes we are 5 minutes walk from the heart of the village!  We are 3 minutes from the Huskisson cinema or Jervis Bay Maritime Museum and Gallery and all the cafes, restaurants and shops. Across the road from Dent Street hole-in-the-wall cafe open weekends.

Yes, but it takes about 4-5 hours from Sydney to here door to door.  Public transport once you are here is few and far between, so we do advise you to drive if you want to see the national parks etc. You can hire a bike of course! Please go to the end of ‘directions’ section of this website for all details.

If using the GPS make sure you put WHOLE address in as there are three Tomerong Streets in the region (one is almost an hour away from us!)

12 Tomerong St, Huskisson, NSW 2540.

If you are coming from SOUTH/CANBERRA allow at least 3 hours at least (with stops) unless it’s a busy Friday night or long weekend.

Route 1 by coast: Via Braidwood and Batemans Bay. Then onto Princes Highway heading north

Route 2: Via the Kangaroo Valley. North onto Hume Highway via Goulbourn and Moss Vale. Then head for Nowra down through Kangaroo Valley. This is a beautiful but mountainous drive. You join the Princes Highway above Nowra and turn right (south).

Route 3: Tarago/ Sandy Point/ Nerriga / Nowra route is ‘cross country’ and through Morton National Park and back roads which only takes 2.5 hours. Sections of this road are remote. For a MAP OF THIS ROUTE (click here)

Once you are on the Princes Highway:

From North or the Kangaroo Valley route (or from Nowra):
Head South along Princes Highway past South Nowra (where bed/tile/pine shops are).
12 km after South Nowra turn left into Jervis Bay Road.
After 9 kms (approx) turn left into Huskisson Road (signposted for Huskisson and Vincentia).
After 5kms you arrive in Huskisson (50km zone). On the left you will see a Garage, then the police station and then ‘The Trading Post’. We are three doors down on the right – a green weatherboard cottage set back behind trees. You can see the sign Huskisson B&B.

Park in front of the garage doors or, if you are in the verandah room, you can park in front of the front steps.

About 10 minutes past the turn off for Sussex Inlet turn right off the Princes Highway towards Jervis Bay at Island Point Road (sign-posted Vincentia and Jervis Bay). Then immediately TURN LEFT at roundabout (signposted Tomerong).

At Tomerong (after village) turn right at Pine Forest Road (signposted Huskisson)
Go to the end and at Jervis Bay Road and do a ‘dog-leg’ left and immediately right into Huskisson Road. After 5kms you arrive in Huskisson (50km zone). On the left you will see a police station and then ‘The Trading Post’. We are three doors down on the right – a green weatherboard cottage set back behind trees. You can see the sign Huskisson B&B.

If you are coming from Sydney allow 2.5 to 3 hours unless it’s a busy Friday night or long weekend.

1) You can drive down the Princes Highway (past the airport and follow signs to Wollongong and then Nowra)

2) Another way is to turn right and drive through the Royal National Park to Stanwell Tops and down Wollongong’s Northern Beaches including the new and dramatic Seacliff Bridge. Much slower but a beautiful scenic ‘Tourist Drive’.

3) Follow signs to Canberra/Hume Highway (highway down to Southern Highlands, down the mountain at Moss Vale to Kangaroo Valley then join the Princes Highway just above Nowra).

The ‘Princes Highway all the way’ route is the simplest!

Whichever way you choose, when you get to Princes Highway head SOUTH to Nowra.

Follow Princes Highway past South Nowra (where all bed/tile/pine shops are).
12 km after South Nowra turn left into Jervis Bay Road.
After 9 kms (approx) turn left into Huskisson Road (signposted for Huskisson and Vincentia).

Please check in from 3pm.  Please dont arrive early unless agreed as we may not have your room ready (or even be here). 

Please don’t forget let us know your Estimated Time of Arrival text or call us 0407 929 083 

Train on cityrail to BOMADERRY/ NOWRA South Coast line from Central Station (or some start from Bondi Junction end of the line so you can get on in Kings Cross or Edgecliffe etc!)  Make sure you are catching a train that has a bus meeting it, as not all do. Taxi from station to us is about $80 if you miss the bus.

Huskisson Bed and Breakfast was built in 1913 and was originally located at the Australian naval training college at HMAS Creswell – just down the road. In the 1970s it was moved (on the back of a truck) to Huskisson and had a new wing added to it. About 20 years ago it became the first Bed and Breakfast in Huskisson.  In 2003, we saw its special charm and potential. Over the years we have renovated and rejuvenated the house in our own unique style to become one of the most popular B&Bs on the south coast of NSW.

Our B&B is like a cross between a small boutique hotel and a lovely home, with just two guest rooms.

WE ARE ONLY OPERATING ONE ROOM DURING COVID. 

We are no longer serving breakfast, sorry. There are many lovely cafes to eat breakfast or a lazy brunch 5 minutes walk away.

Guests have their own private bedroom and ensuite bathroom. There is also a tea and coffee area with a microwave, fridge, kettle but no stove or oven so you can’t cook yourself food in your room, just reheat. There is a lovely place to sit in your room or outdoors on verandah.

We are no longer offering breakfast.

There are many wonderful places to have breakfast or brunch in Huskisson just 5 minutes walk.

We are no longer serving breakfast. There are many lovely places to eat breakfast or brunch,. just 5 minutes walk away.

The room has a small fridge, microwave, toaster and kettle with tea and pod coffee making facilities.

We no longer serve breakfast sorry!

We do not provide for self-catering or cooking. You do have a fridge, microwave, kettle and  toaster in your room. 

Jervis Bay and especially Huskisson is lucky to have many excellent cafes and restaurants catering to all tastes. Many of the best cafes and restaurants are a five minute (level) walk from the B&B, so you don’t even have to worry about driving.

We are no longer offering breakfast.

We do supply real milk and biscuits but if you need to bring your own particular nibbles then please do! 

We don’t have any pets anymore. Occasionally we look after friend’s dogs who might be around in our flat or on the verandah – so if you are very allergic to dogs, it might be best to stay elsewhere. On rare occasions we have been known to allow guests to bring a well-behaved dog.

It is about a 5-7 minute walk to the first of Huskisson’s Jervis Bay beaches. We are 10 minute walk to Huskisson’s beautiful main beach along a lovely coastal footpath through the village and park. Hyams Beach is a 7 minute drive away and Booderee National Parks beaches like Greenpatch and Murrays are 12 or 15 minutes’ drive away.

The wharf in Huskisson is only 5 minutes walk from our B&B and it is where all the cruise and dive boats depart from. The dive shop, dolphin and whale cruises have their booking offices in Huskisson’s main street – again only minutes from us. The departure times change with the tides and it is essential to book. We often have discount vouchers. (see whale specials on our specials page for the whales season.)

There is a small supermarket in Huskisson as well as a deli, butcher, fantastic bakery, fish shop, banks, hair dressers, gelati and ice-creameries, candy stores, veggies, chemist/pharmacy, pub, cinema and a newsagent. Coles and Woolworths are a 5-8 minute drive away at Vincentia. Huskisson has increasingly wonderful boutique shopping – clothes, homewares and weekend markets.
