Peaceful Palms

When the urge strikes to be in the ocean, grab a towel and drive five minutes over to Hyams Beach, one of the most popular coastlines in Jervis Bay, for a long morning of swimming and sunbaking.

Rinse off the sand in the heated outdoor shower or either of the two indoor bathrooms (the ensuite has a dual showerhead!) and stay inside comfortably in any kind of weather with air conditioning and a fireplace in the living room and relax in front of the TV with Netflix and DVDs at your fingertips.

The backyard has enough room for a game of catch with your four-legged friends, and you can take a cosy nap in the shade on the outdoor loungers, or the hidden bench down the end of the garden is the perfect spot for a quiet read.
