Paperbark Camp

We had an amazing weekend away here. Such comfortable accommodation and the location was perfect. We loved the quiet and the sound of birdsong: very relaxing! The restaurant is fabulous: we ate dinner here 3 nights in a row (even cancelling another booking in Huskisson to do so) and the food was always amazing. I don't know how the chef puts the flavours together! The kitchen were able to cope with my substantial dietary requirements with no problems at all. We're looking forward to returning here! Thanks so much for a perfect stay.

A completely unique experience is how I regarded our stay in the Sugar Glider cabin at Paperbark Camp. Surrounded by wildlife and woodland, kangaroo family passing our tent whilst we watched from our bed early this morning. King Parrot just chilling out near the front steps and the incredible bird song waking you first thing in the morning. |If you can’t handle mosquito nets and bugs along with the outdoors close to coming inside with you this place is not for you - however if you want to get up close and personal with nature this place is fantastic. |You almost feel like you are on safari (even the tents are from Africa). |It’s glamping at its best and a fantastic experience. ||Breakfast was excellent. A game of back gammon with red wine in the evening beside the fire even better. ||We heard the restaurant was excellent but did not eat at the property…. Maybe next time. ||Thank you Paperbark.

We generally go overseas for my birthday, but this year we decided to travel around in our caravan. ||During our four-night stay in Huskisson, we decided to book into the Paperbark Camp for the actual night of my birthday and the whole experience could not have been bettered. We had plenty of time for a walk around the Wetlands area where we met three kangaroos. Our tent, the Possum, was wonderful (and so reminiscent of those we stayed in on safaris last year). We just loved the ‘indoor/outdoor’ feel of the bathroom with excellent toiletries, towels, etc. Even the inability to use a hairdryer didn’t matter as my hair quickly dried sitting out on our wonderful deck taking in the sights and sounds.||Our pre-dinner cocktails (Pink Negroni) so tasty, followed by an excellent dinner, and a complete surprise of my birthday cake/candle. The bed was very comfortable providing a wonderful night's sleep. ||Our stay ended with breakfast in Gunyah in the treetops. Wonderful.

Paperbark Camp in Jervis Bay offers a unique mix of comfort and wilderness. The safari-style tents were spotless and well designed, with an open-air bath and shower that made the most of the bush surrounds. From our deck we watched kangaroos grazing, and woke each morning to birdsong.||Dinner at The Gunyah was a highlight – fine dining showcasing local and native ingredients in creative dishes. The setting in the treetops made it even more memorable.||We also enjoyed the wetlands walk, which we had entirely to myself – peaceful and restorative. ||What stood out was the camp’s commitment to preserving the environment while delivering a very high standard of comfort.||Paperbark is thoughtfully run, environmentally conscious, and beautifully located – an excellent choice if you want to slow down and experience Jervis Bay in a more sustainable way.||We’d love to return!

Dreamy place with excellent service, delicious food and wildlife at your doorstep. Everyone on the team was friendly and helpful, and Violet really went above and beyond to make sure our stay was incredible. Can’t wait to come back!

The glamping tents were very comfortable, good quality & in a private bush setting. We ate in the restaurant & the food was yum. A relaxing weekend away 🙂

Recently, to celebrate a special day, we stayed four nights in a King Deluxe tent. An experience like this probably won’t suit a lot of people, but if, like us, you enjoy being close to and sensing a natural environment, it is perfect. The tent was very comfortable and well appointed, with plenty of space. The tents are well spaced with bush surrounding them, so privacy and seclusion are assured. There are bushwalks and canoeing available on site and Boodaree National Park are an easy drive away. All of the staff were very friendly and they accommodated our requests without hesitation. For those who like this type of accommodation, Paperbark Camp will not be a disappointment.

Review for Paperbark Camp, Jervis Bay||Paperbark Camp is one of the most luxurious glamping experiences you can find in Australia. The best part of our stay was definitely the stunning tent accommodation spacious, beautifully styled, and designed to immerse you in nature without sacrificing comfort. Waking up to the sounds of birds in such a peaceful setting was a truly memorable experience.||The quality of the room was exceptional, with thoughtful touches that made it feel special and unique. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere of the camp was calm and relaxing perfect for a getaway to unwind.||However, while the tents and overall setting lived up to the luxury promise, there are areas that need improvement, especially given Paperbark Camp is rated as a 4-star hotel. Food was the biggest letdown. Breakfast was quite limited, there was no lunch option, and dinner had very few choices. There was also no way to purchase snacks or small items on-site, which felt inconvenient. If you're after more variety or budget-friendly options, you'll need to drive into Nowra.||For the high price, we expected a more complete experience. It’s definitely a “must-try once” place if you're after a luxury glamping escape but it doesn’t offer the value or services you'd expect to make it a regular destination.

Hidden away at the end of a quiet dirt track just outside Nowra, Paperbark Camp feels like a secret waiting to be discovered. The elevated treetop setting is tranquil and secluded. Arrive a little early and you can enjoy a glass of local Shoalhaven wine by the fire pit outdoors or relax by the cozy indoor fireplace, which immediately sets the tone for the evening -- warm, welcoming, and unhurried. The staff deserve a huge shout out, in particular Susie and Violet, who looked after us with warmth, humour, and genuine care. Their attentiveness elevated the whole experience and made the night feel like dining in a good friend's home. The restaurant has recently moved to a set menu format. While some might miss the choice of à la carte, I found it refreshing to be guided through a menu that encouraged me to try dishes I might not normally order. Here's how the Winter menu unfolded: Flatbread, Zatar Spice A perfect way to start: warm, soft bread carrying the bold, earthy kick of za'atar. Simple, rustic, and exactly what you want in that first bite. The optional sourdough was also outstanding -- crusty, hearty, and served with rich butter. Mussels, Green Mango, Cucumber A bright, surprising dish where briny mussels were lifted by the sharp tang of green mango and the cooling freshness of cucumber. A clever balance of ocean and orchard. Pork Rillettes, Black Barley, Radicchio Described by our server as a deconstructed dumpling, an apt description of this deeply savoury pork, paired with the smoky chew of black barley and the slight bitterness of radicchio. Rich and hearty, yet with enough balance to keep it light. Charcoal Chicken, Roast Alliums, Koji (with rice, sambal, daikon) I'll admit, chicken often feels like the mundane choice on a menu -- but not here. Smoky from the charcoal, deeply flavoured with koji and sweet roasted alliums, it was exceptional. The accompaniments of rice, sambal, and daikon added both comfort and a little spark. Blackberry, Grapes, Umeshu, Granita A refreshing close to the meal. The sweet and tart notes of blackberry and grape combined beautifully with the plum wine's depth, all sharpened by icy granita. It felt an odd choice for a winter menu but still very enjoyable. Paperbark Camp is a restaurant that surprises you from start to finish. From its peaceful bushland location to the warmth of its service, it feels special without ever being pretentious. The set menu approach works beautifully here, and the kitchen clearly takes pride in showcasing fresh, seasonal ingredients in thoughtful ways. If you're anywhere near the Shoalhaven, make the short detour down that dirt track. What you'll find at the end is one of the most memorable dining experiences in the region.

Ah glamping! Paperbark Camp is situated in Jervis Bay surrounded by trees and next to the river. The tent is nicely set up and comfortable with a big bed, space to move, a deck with comfy chairs and an open cupboard around the back. The bathroom is a tad exposed on certain tents, we were towards the back so they didn't have as many privacy screens which was very "free-ing" but a little panic inducing when noises were heard outside. While on the deck we saw kangaroos/wallabies (not sure) which was a nice reminder that we were just hanging out in the bush. Although another reminder was when in the middle of the night we heard a noise in the tent, a possum had made its way in through a crack! After finally convincing it to leave I barricaded the door and was on night possum guard for the rest of the night. Food was amazing, every dinner really impressed us and breakfast was solid. Search for "The Gunyah" for more reviews. They also do cocktails on the main deck, great to have before dinner while watching the mosquitos bounce around the balustrade (they provide lots of repellent). Bikes and canoes are available to use but we didn't use those. Instead we drove into town, visited shops and spent most of our times on the beautiful beaches. Overall the location and food was perfect. The services was friendly and chilled out, but that also meant things were just a little lax and not as polished to be 5 stars.
