House accommodation (Currarong)
A 15-second dash into the surf on Currarong Beach - Jervis Bay, The Elements is a very comfortable, fully equipped, bohemian style, western red cedar, waterfront, beach house, surrounded by 14 wonderful beaches, the Jervis Bay National Park & the Jervis Bay Marine Park.
Cozy enough for two & spacious enough for ten, The Elements is an all-year-round getaway, whether sitting in front of the large open fire, sunbathing on the decks or watching eagles & pelicans floating past. Local dolphin pods & seasonal whales are also a regular sight. Whichever way the wind blows there is a beautiful, sheltered beach to go to. Most beaches are very safe for children.

LOCATION
Currarong, a small landlocked fishing village of around 400 houses, is located at the entrance to the Beecroft Headland, a peninsular which juts out about 16klms from the standard east coast line of Australia. This unique location means that Currarong often has different weather conditions than those experienced nearby in Callala, Culburra or Nowra. Facing primarily north/north west, Currarong & the Beecroft Headland have various beaches & rock platforms that allow you to watch the sunset over the ocean with beautiful mountain ranges in the background, on the east coast of Australia. Dolphin & whale watching is also a common occurrence.
The Beecroft Peninsular has some of the largest cliffs in NSW (possibly in Australia) & a wide variety of bush walks leading to stunning scenery, inlets, gullies, beaches, caves, tunnels & rock outcrops. This location is also world famous for catching black marlin off the rocks. The Beecroft Peninsular is also the north head/entrance into Jervis Bay where you find some of the most beautiful pristine beaches in Australia like Honeymoon Bay, Target Beach, North & South Long Beach, Cabbage Tree Beach & Bindijine Beach. The Elements has easy access to these wonderful locations including The Point Perpendicular Lighthouse located at the entrance into Jervis Bay. Point Perpendicular has stunning views around Jervis Bay & is very popular for abseiling & whale watching. Currarong is located on the South Coast of NSW, about 200ks from Sydney & is part of the Shoalhaven Municipality.
ACTIVITIES
Activities include most water sports, snorkeling & scuba diving on numerous reefs, swim in fabulous rock pools, surfing, sailing, boating, kayaking, ocean, rock & beach fishing (4 boat ramps in region), cycling, dolphin & whale cruises, hike through wild country, numerous bush & beach walks, abseiling, huge variety of wild life (marine & bush), bird watching, tennis, golf is available at Callala, Worrigee & Nowra, & Coollangatta winery is a 40 minute drive away.
There are 9 stunning Jervis Bay beaches (and the Point Perpendicular Lighthouse) to experience & 4 Pacific ocean beaches connected to the Beecroft Headland, where you can watch the sunset over the ocean (unusual on the East coast). Most Jervis Bay beaches have pure white sand with emerald and turquoise water & are all unspoilt (check photos in the image gallery above). Due to the Dept of Defence, some Jervis Bay beaches (and The Point Perpendicular Lighthouse) are only accessible on weekends, school & public holidays. Another 2 fantastic Jervis Bay beaches, located at Red Rock, can be accessed from Currarong Road, heading west to Callala, all year round. Enjoy the beach trek from Red Rock to either Itchy Itchy or Callala Bay.
