The 10 best Bed and Breakfast Inns in Shoalhaven, Australia

May 16, 2023 Merry Kessler

Shoalhaven might not be the first place to come to mind when thinking of Australia—but it should be. That is if you enjoy surfing sparkling turquoise waters, immersing yourself in the verdant trails and gorges of Ben’s Walk, and exploring caverns and sea cliffs through Gosangs Tunnel. Looking for something a bit more restful? Enjoy stunning views (particularly at sunset) from the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse before feasting on local treats at one of the coastal region’s 20 vineyards.

We booked a premium studio room. It was worse than a jail cell. Filthy - smelt of cigarettes. The door was damaged and rotten. Only one small window. Would have to keep the door shut because other people shared walkway. We did not stay. Absolutely appalling.

Wow what lovely place to stay

Reviewed By LesleyGray1

We only spent the night (12/11/21) but we loved our stay at this hotel/motel just off the A1 which is just outside Nowra CBD. We could not hear any traffic noise in our very large room, the room was spotlessly clean.. We had a good laugh with the owers when booking in and also when handing our keys back the next morning. (hoping to stay here on our return trip next week.

Alone Time

Reviewed By P5523WXsarahc

Having really needed some alone in quite a while, Crystal Creek Meadows was the perfect place to escape the noise of every day life and breathe. Sophie was very friendly and helpful and the food provided in the Cottage was great. I opted for the deluxe upgrade and there was so much food I had more than enough for the 2 days of my stay. The cottage was very cosy and clean, and the fire was ready to go when I arrived. The grounds of Crystal Creek Meadows are just beautiful, teaming with wildlife and native flora it's an extremely relaxing place to walk around and connect with nature. I would definitely visit again and would happily recommend for any of my friends to.

Relaxing stay in beautiful and luxurious location

Reviewed By V8822MQjod

We spent a week at the Lyrebird Lodge during school holidays. It was the perfect place for a busy family of four to slow down, relax and enjoy time together. The location is amazing. Nick and Michael have created a beautiful haven in an already spectacular valley. The lodges are open, fresh and spacious with luxury amenities, very comfortable beds and fully equipped kitchen and bathrooms. The generous windows make the most of the scenery. We enjoyed meals on the verandah and saw plenty of wildlife (including the family of kangaroos that seem to have made the property their home). The garden has been carefully laid out to ensure each lodge has privacy. We went for bush walks and enjoyed regular visits to Berry for the usual supplies (only 10 minutes away). It is also close to Kangaroo Valley and the beach. Nick and Michael are perfect hosts. They made sure our stay was comfortable and that we were well looked after despite the road collapse! Perfect place for short weekend trips (only 2 hours from Sydney). We would also recommend it for longer relaxing breaks as we did.

Perfect little BnB

We just had a lovely stay at Dolphin Sands BnB. The owner Rich, was a great host and the location of the BnB is perfect. Rich gave us some great tips for sightseeing in the Jervis Bay area and the BnB has heaps of information available for things to do in the area. There are also a heap of reading materials for guest, which was perfect and a great touch. The sun room was lovely and had everything needed for a couples getaway. The room was really clean, well presented with lovely comfortable furnishings. The spa bath was perfect and added to the stay. Well worth a visit, look forward to returning and enjoying the breakfast when Covid is over. Top spot - top service!

Vey nice

Reviewed By jenny s

This was a quirky, boutique style b&b in the lovely little town of Huskisson. Don't be put off by the shabby paintwork on some of tbe exterior or the lack of on-site parking which I thought a bit odd in what was advertised as luxury accommodation. Inside it was up to expectations. The room we had was spacious, well appointed, comfortable and had a small but very functional shower and bathroom. The shared kitchen was well eqipped with everything you could possibly ask for and the lounge area looked warm and comfortable as well. It was in a great position for walking around the town and to cafes and pubs. We loved it and would recommend it to others.

Fabulous Find

The hosts, Greg and Jan made us feel so very welcome. Our apartment was beautiful and perfectly appointed. Each of the four apartments is very private. Breakfast goodies are supplied each morning, you just have to cook if you choose a hot brekkie. We loved the delicious home baked bread. A truly serene location for us and the friendly kangaroos. We highly recommend.
