Book your weekend at the Outrigger House to experience the wonders of winter at the SeeChange Festival. SeeChange is a celebration of the creative arts, culture, cuisine, architecture and way of life in stunning Jervis Bay, NSW.

When you arrive in Jervis Bay, start your day with a coffee in the sun on the balcony of Outrigger House and then wander the ArtPath exploring 20+ exhibitions hosted in public venues, private homes and significant local properties that give an intimate insight into our communities.

As dusk falls, you can join locals and visitors en masse to enjoy a spectacular light and sound experience staged on the shores of Jervis Bay at Moona Moona Creek Reserve. From Moona Moona Creek, share a leisurely walk along the beach path into the main precinct of Huskisson for SeeFood – an evening of feasting, tasting and entertainment in and around Owen Street staged by the Huskisson Jervis Bay Food Network.

The festival has something for everyone: exhibitions encompassing diverse visual arts and craft; music; poetry; community activities; talks and workshops by artists and performers; wonderful culinary events and demonstrations. Most exhibitions and events in the festival are free with a few special, limited ticket events in the mix.

The festival finale over the June long weekend is not to be missed! Come and be Bamboozled! Delight in the astonishing performances of nationally renowned Bamboozled Productions in their wonderful pop up theatre, The Pocket, and see their captivating street performances in Huskisson. Never seen before in the Shoalhaven.

Outrigger House has a vacancy for the SeeChange weekend but you will need to be fast. Click here now to book your winter escape weekend in beautiful Jervis Bay.

Jervis Bay Beaches Top Australian Rankings

By Leave a Comment

Whether you’re a fan of a long stroll down an abandoned beach or sitting under a palm tree with a cocktail in hand, somewhere along Australia’s 25,760km of coastline there is bound to be a spot in the sun with your name on it.

But what makes a great beach, and where are the best beaches Australia has to offer?

The ABC Open audience has shared their favourite beaches — the isolated stretches of sand you will have all to yourself, or the crowded ones with a real family spirit.

Two Jervis Bay beaches topped the rankings.

Hole in the Wall, Jervis Bay Territory

Hole in the Wall is a small beach tucked away in the Booderee National Park, near Jervis Bay on the NSW south coast.

But it is not officially in NSW, it is within a 70-square-kilometre area of land that is administered by the ACT and known as the Jervis Bay Territory.

With plenty of shade, calm waters and nearby camping facilities, it is ticking plenty of the best beaches boxes.

It’s a photographer’s paradise — so picturesque,” Carlie Dalitz said.

Vincentia Beach, NSW

New South Wales’s south coast is known for its whiter-than-white sands and completely clear waters.

Also in the Jervis Bay region, Vincentia Beach lives up to all of the best beach qualities.

The township of Vincentia has some great spots to eat and plenty of holiday accommodation, making it the perfect weekend getaway destination.
