Booking, arriving, staying and the area, answered by the people who host you.
Yes. Pick a home, choose your dates and book on its page. The same Jervis Bay team hosts you however you book, and booking direct means no platform service fee.
More than half of them, each with its own conditions: most ask for small or mature, non-shedding dogs and a message before you book (Cabana takes up to two mature, non-shedding dogs under 25kg with prior host reviews). The Hyams Beach Seaside Cottages do not take pets. The dog-friendly homes are listed together on the Home page, and each home’s house rules have the detail.
A responsible adult must be on every booking for the whole stay. Depending on the home, groups of guests under 21 or under 25 are not accepted; each listing’s house rules say which.
No. Our homes are in quiet neighbourhoods and we do not accept bookings for parties, schoolies, hens or bucks celebrations. A responsible adult must be on every booking for the whole stay, and depending on the home, groups of guests under 21 or under 25 are not accepted.
Yes. When you book you will be asked for government ID and a selfie. It protects the homes and their neighbours, and it takes a minute.
Ask the team. For most homes we can have a hamper of local produce from Hampers at Harley’s delivered and waiting when you check in, and we can recommend private chefs and massage therapists who come to the home.
Most homes ask you to leave shoes at the door and to rinse or brush off sand before coming in. The house rules on each page say which.
All linen and bath and beach towels, tea, coffee, basic pantry supplies and toiletries, and in most homes a welcome of local coffee, chocolates and a bottle of Silos Estate wine. Our in-house magazine has our local tips.
Only the guests on the booking may be at the home. If your plans change, message us and we will tell you what the home allows.
Rubbish goes out to the outside bins in sealed bags before you check out. Each home’s house rules say which night the bins go to the kerb.
Humpback whales pass Jervis Bay from about May to November, and more than 100 bottlenose dolphins live in the bay all year. Tours leave from Huskisson; early mornings on Collingwood or Orion Beach are your best chance from the sand.
Huskisson is about five minutes’ drive from Vincentia and Hyams Beach about five to ten. The waterside track and White Sands Walk link many of the beaches on foot: 8.5km from Hyams to Husky without leaving the water’s edge.
Yes, The FAM also manages holiday homes in Newcastle, hosted by co-founder Carly, at thefamnewcastle.bookwithhaven.com.
The FAM does: a local, owner-operated team in Jervis Bay that sets the home up, answers your messages and tells you where the dolphins were this morning. We are bound by the NSW Code of Conduct for the short-term rental industry, and so are our guests.
Check-in is from 3 pm and check-out is by 10 am. Every home has self check-in with the details sent before you arrive. Ask us about an early check-in or a late check-out; when the home is free we say yes.
