Waterfront Accommodation in Erowal Bay for Families and Groups
Waterfront accommodation in Erowal Bay offers a different experience from the oceanfront stays found elsewhere around Jervis Bay. Instead of facing the ocean, the village sits beside St Georges Basin, where calm waters and peaceful surroundings create a slower pace of holiday.
While Erowal Bay does not offer direct access to the surf, it makes up for it with calm waterfront views, and calm water for paddling, fishing and kayaking right on the doorstep. When it’s time for the beach, Hyams Beach and the white sands of Jervis Bay are only a five to ten-minute drive away, while Sydney sits about 2.5 hours from town. Here are some of the best waterfront homes to experience in Erowal Bay.
Best Waterfront Accommodation in Erowal Bay for Families & Group
Lakehouse at Erowal Bay
Lakehouse at Erowal Bay is a spacious waterfront holiday home overlooking a grassy reserve beside St Georges Basin. As one of the standout options for waterfront accommodation in Erowal Bay, it features floor-to-ceiling windows framing the water, while a separate adults’ retreat includes a king bedroom, ensuite and its own peaceful outlook. The western aspect also makes it an excellent place to enjoy sunset views from the deck.
Outside, guests can cook on the barbecue, eat on the covered verandah or gather around the fire pit after dark. Children have room for lawn games beside the shallow foreshore, while supplied youth and adult kayaks let the group paddle directly from the property.
Cool weather suits this house just as well as summer. A central wood burning fireplace warms the main living space, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning covers the rest, and louvre windows catch passing breezes.. Lakehouse is not pet friendly, so leave the dog out of this particular family meeting.

On Golden Ponds at Erowal Bay
On Golden Ponds spreads across a 1,260-square-metre waterfront block. Terraced gardens descend towards a large lawn, private jetty and waterside gazebo. The property gives you room to do something, but equally supports doing absolutely nothing with great commitment.
Indoors, polished timber floors connect three bedrooms with an open plan kitchen, dining area and sunken lounge. A separate bunk room annex sleeps four and includes its own sofa and television. That extra room helps extended families stay together without making every conversation, cartoon and video game part of the same soundtrack. Meanwhile, ducted air conditioning and gas heating provide year-round comfort, making the home pleasant in every season.
The home welcomes pets, but the yard is not fully fenced, so please keep a close eye on them when they’re outside. The general store, bottle shop and takeaway are all within a short 150-metre walk.

Inside, the dark, minimalist interior pairs lime-washed floors with carefully chosen furnishings, an open master bedroom and a concrete tiled wet room, fitting groups of adults who travel together.
The house sits only a few metres from the sand, making it a standout choice for waterfront accommodation in Erowal Bay, with elevated rear decks overlooking Jervis Bay, Point Perpendicular and Bowen Island.
Although the property sits near a public beach entrance, surrounding trees and a two metre fence create a private retreat while still giving guests quick access to the shoreline. There is also a hot and cold outdoor shower right behind the decks, allowing you to rinse off sand after a swim before heading back inside.

- Location: 422 Elizabeth Drive, Vincentia NSW 2540
- Indicative price: From A$867 per night
- Capacity: Sleeps 12, with a maximum of eight adults, five bedrooms, three bathrooms and three car spaces

This convenient location makes it easy to fit in morning swims, beach walks and quick trips to the sand without relying on the car.

- Location: 202 Elizabeth Drive, Vincentia NSW 2540
- Indicative price: From A$594 per night

On The Beach at Vincentia opens from its front garden towards Collingwood Beach. A large deck looks over Jervis Bay, while the main house keeps its kitchen, dining room and lounge on one level. The master bedroom also faces the water, which makes drawing the curtains feel almost rude.
Larger families gain useful separation through a detached annexe with a queen bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette, bunk beds and its own living area. Pets are welcome, and the fully fenced yard provides a secure space for them to enjoy the outdoors.
Vukeville, Vincentia
Vukeville combines Collingwood Beach access with a private swimming pool. Guests occupy the renovated ground floor, backyard and outdoor areas. The upstairs owner level remains closed and unoccupied during bookings, so you retain privacy without paying for rooms you cannot use.
Days tend to rotate between the beach, pool and covered patio. A secure backyard opens towards the coastal cycle path, and an outdoor shower stops half the beach from entering the living room. Pool heating operates from September through April and aims for up to 25°C, although weather affects the final temperature.

Four Reasons for Staying on the Erowal Bay Waterfront
Catch the Golden Hours
West-facing waterfront homes make Erowal Bay especially rewarding at sunset. Lakehouse frames the basin views through floor-to-ceiling glass, then extends the experience outdoors with a covered verandah and fire pit.
Meanwhile, On Golden Ponds creates its own sunset setting with a spacious deck, gazebo and lawn overlooking the water. These two stays are ideal for couples looking for a beautiful backdrop for photos or a romantic afternoon by the water.
Get Straight Onto the Water
St Georges Basin provides sheltered conditions for kayaking, paddleboarding, sailing and fishing. For the stay at The Holidays Collection, Lakehouse supplies kayaks, while On Golden Ponds has a private jetty and room beside the shore for outdoor gear.
Once you return, both properties offer barbecues and outdoor dining areas. That sequence works nicely: paddle first, cook second, exaggerate the distance travelled over dinner.
Leave the Crowds Elsewhere
Erowal Bay stays noticeably quieter than the best known Jervis Bay villages. You can spend the morning beside the basin, then drive about five minutes to Hyams Beach when ocean swimming wins the argument. Vincentia and Huskisson sit around 15 minutes from On Golden Ponds, keeping shops, cafés and busier waterfront areas close without placing them outside your bedroom window.
A Gateway to Nature
Booderee National Park lies only a few minutes away. The park includes beaches, bushwalking areas, botanic gardens and Cape St George Lighthouse. However, pets cannot enter Booderee National Park, so guests travelling with dogs will need to plan a separate outing or explore pet-friendly walks around the basin instead.
Plan a Waterfront Escape With The Holidays Collection
Waterfront Accommodation in Erowal Bay works best for travellers who prefer calm water, private outdoor space and a slower holiday rhythm over a busy beachfront setting.
Spend mornings kayaking across St Georges Basin, afternoons exploring Jervis Bay and evenings watching the sunset from your own deck. When the ocean calls, Hyams Beach and Vincentia are only a short drive away.
