Please take care with SatNav devices such as TomTom which recognise yet to be built roads on the outskirts of Erowal Bay. If your SatNav or Google Map tells you to turn left into a dirt track surrounded by bush (ie Kinkuna Crescent), trust your intuition and keep driving straight ahead another 500 metres into Erowal Bay before accepting instructions! You should drive right into Erowal Bay town, and go along Naval Parade before taking any left turns. 

If you are still unsure, feel free to contact us. 

Keys can be found in a key safe on the left hand side of the front door. The code will be sent to you once final payment is recieved. Please take care to remember this code, and don't forget to return the key upon departure for the next guest. 

If you arrive after dark you will find a light switch on the left hand side of the front door above the key safe. 

We unfortunately cannot guarantee entry before 3pm. We are happy however for you to leave bags, etc locked in our garage (garage side door) using the keys mentioned above. You can then visit the Jervis Bay region whilst you wait for the house to be finalised. Please don't leave bags inside if the house is not made up, or food in the fridge - these will be mistaken as items of the previous guests.
