Just three hours’ drive south from Sydney is the picturesque coastal village of Jervis Bay, whose beach is said to have the whitest sand of any beach in the world. It is not uncommon to see the local pods of dolphins and migrating humpback whales within the turquoise waters of this New South Wales coastline.

Getting back to nature is the true focus of a stay at Paperbark Camp. This eco-friendly retreat is nestled within the eucalyptus and paperbark tree populated bushland on the shores of the Currambene Creek. Here, you can really feel as though you are a world away from civilisation as you relax in your own private, luxury safari style tent. Each of the 13 canvas tents have their own expansive wrap around decks from which you can sit back and listen to the sounds of the bush, and watch the night draw in. The retreat has its own tree top restaurant and guest lounge, as well as bike hire options and extensive walking trails to help you explore the beauty of Jervis Bay.

Luxury canvas safari style tents with double or twin beds, wrap around furnished deck, solar powered lighting, private open air en suite bathroom, and full insect screens.
