This is an ideal spot for a quiet getaway. You can stay in and enjoy the lake views whilst sipping a wine or go out and explore Jervis Bay and surrounds.
The property was clean and comfortable in a beautiful spot. Close to beaches and town. Unfortunately the local coffee shop and general store had closed down (which was described on the property listing) but the nearest town was not far.
Perfect for our family of 3. Hosts were responsive to questions we had. The house itself was well equipped from kitchen appliances to variety of board games. The view of the water at priceless - amazing to see first thing in the morning and at sunset.
Very relaxing & quiet. Hard to get stove top working be handy if there were instructions

My stay Palm tree cottage was an amazing experience. I loved the water sound on the shore and the beautiful scene. Jo & Marcus were very friendly and answered my inquiry straight away, God bless them. I’d love to come again.
We stayed for 2 weeks at Palm Tree Cottage and loved it! The view is amazing, the cottage is very roomy, very well equipped, and the wonderful swinging chair was great to idle away a few hours reading a book . The kitchen is well equipped and modern, and the bed is very comfortable.
Overall okay stay. House is in a fantastic location, the house was overall quite unclean - inside okay however outside was littered with ciggerate butts and food. The photos include a fireplace,this is no longer in the house and some of the most uncomfortable matresses ive ever slept on.
Quite a nice location, lovely water views. Beds comfortable.
Bathroom needed better cleaning and place was very hot and stuffy which gave a stale old smell. More air conditioners needed as the one only cooled the lounge area directly in front of it. Loved the area.
My family had a great stay at the Palm Tree Cottage - it was comfortable and clean and had what we needed. We have family in Erowal Bay so the neighbourhood was already familiar, though it was lovely meeting the neighbours in that area. It was a full on weekend, which meant we sadly didn't get to make the most of lounging about. The sunroom was perfect for looking out at the water when the weather turned wet. It'll be a good option in the future, when we need extra space.
We enjoyed our short stay and the stunning view of this water-front property. It is way more beautiful than than in the pictures. The property is very clean, looks like newly renovated, the sound of the water through out the day is very healing, overall excellent for short stay. A couple things that were uncomfortbale were getting down to the property from someone else's driveway is a bit tricky the first time and there is not enough bin space to throw the trash. Also, bringing your own sheets and towels is cumbersome, especially if people are flying in and not driving. Hiring from the owners is very expensive for 3 or 4 days. Other than that we highly recommend this cottage and will love to stay there again.
The house was good no where to sit outside if raining was stuck inside all weekend as it poured rain from the time we got there an awning out the front over veranda would be great or out back over door .Bedroom 1 leaking water drown wall from roof and sunroom Leaking as well .

Situated on the waters edge - wonderful. Property is tired and needs a refresh.
While there was a mix up initially, the location is great and the reason I chose the property. The property itself was disappointing. Understanding that it is likely a 1940s fibro fisherman’s cottage which has some charm, the interior requires updating. The 1970s stove and oven is not inviting and requires replacing. The sofa bed has a handwritten note stuck to the wall above it advising it is broken. Flooring and lighting need a refresh. The vertical blinds on the main viewing window is missing the wand mechanism to open/close and move the blinds. For the price, ice-trays and teabags would also be nice.
Great for a short weekend away while we attended a Wedding in the area. If we could, we would have stayed longer.
Property was clean and spacious for four adults and our 5 month old.
The driveway is a little steep to get to property but it’s worth it to be located right on the water. Bub loved watching the waves and ducks swim by.
Cute little waterfront property, recommend to stay!
It was a much needed vacay for chattier family after another year of the pandemic and lockdowns. We absolutely loved the location location location- breathtaking sunsets, morning water front views, sunset dips in the bay and exploring booderee national park. We will definitely be back again and again 🙏🙏🙏👍
Location was perfect. Accomodation was basic but the view made up for it.
Location was perfect for kids!
Lots of flies, spiders and Doona cover need to be washed before we used it. The outdoor dining table and chairs were dangerous for the kids to use as they had timber missing and nails exposed. The lounge was ripped (looked like dog claw marks) and there was no wifi which if your travelling and needing to work then it could be difficult. Would have been good to watch a movie one of the nights with the kids but smart TV wasn’t connected to wifi so couldn’t watch anything. No dishwasher and the kitchen equipment and cooking facilities were very basic. No tea or coffee supplied.
