Sydney to Jervis Bay
Today you'll pick up your hire car and drive the scenic coastal route from Sydney to Jervis Bay. The white sand beaches and turquoise waters of this region are world-famous, offering visitors myriad opportunities for swimming, scuba diving, and whale-watching. Your accommodation for the next two nights is the whimsical Paperbark Camp, surrounded by bushland just a few kilometres from the town of Huskisson. Here, canvas safari tents are nestled beneath soaring eucalyptus and paperbark trees and set slightly off the ground for maximum comfort and privacy. Your Deluxe Tent comes complete with wrap-around decking, solar-powered lighting and a private open-air en suite so you can spot wildlife as you shower. After sunset, take a torch as you walk the trails on the lookout for possums and other nocturnal residents.
