Oyster Catcher Huskisson allows you to escape the rat race in Jervis Bay.

A slice of NSW South Coast equidistant from Sydney and Canberra (around 2.5 hours), Huskisson is part of the Shoalhaven region. It’s a land of pristine beaches, wineries and whales. The antithesis to the concrete jungle.

At Oyster Catcher Huskisson, you’re 300 metres from the beach and a 10-minute walk from town. But really, surrounded by local homes and shacks, you’re in your own private world to enjoy your Jervis Bay beach house.

The beaches and coves of Jervis Bay are at your doorstep. Watch kids jump from the Moona Moona Creek Bridge, go for a kayak or join a tour to meet the dolphins who live and play in Jervis Bay Marine Park. During winter, whale watching tours can take you out to spot migrating humpback and southern right whales and have you back in time for sundowners on the deck. 

Drive 20 minutes south to explore spots like Cave Beach within Booderee National Park. Managed by the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community, this national park is also the site of Australia’s only Aboriginal-owned botanic gardens. (And, fun fact, this area sits within its own territory so isn’t technically part of New South Wales.)

Pack your swimmers for a hike along the White Sands Walk (from Greenfield Beach to Hyams Beach) or, if you like a bit of gastronomical motivation to stroll, walk into town along the beachfront stopping for coffee or gelato along the way. 

Huskisson proudly offers much more than its beloved great outdoors, like the town’s charming cafes, such as 5 Little Pigs, the local landmark Huskisson Hotel serving a classic pub fair with sweeping views and a thriving brewery scene with Jervis Bay Brewery and Flamin Galah.

At the end of each day, when the sun starts to set, signalling that it’s time to head back to your Jervis Bay holiday house. Oyster Catcher huskisson welcomes you with everything you need to relax and retreat. There’s the outdoor shower for washing off sandy toes and the private deck for enjoying fresh oysters. Meanwhile, the backyard fire pit is perfect for those evening yarns, and the comfortable beds with quality linens promise a good night’s sleep—all to ensure that you’ll be well-rested to tackle yet another day full of adventure.
