The Paperbark forest that borders the Currumbene Creek gives the camp its name and your hosts, Jeremy and Irena, have created an experience that combines stylish tented accomodation (with en suite bathroom) and nature. Although the camp is just a short hop from the ‘rat-race’ of Sydney, this camp is a million miles away in terms of mood. Here your biggest concern is to keep your tent zipped up so that the local possums and ant echinus (a small marsupial) do not have the chance to make off with your toiletries – they are friendly but mischievous!

The ten safari tents, built on wooden decks and furnished with locally made bush furniture, feature open-air en suite bathrooms. The main “gunyah” is built on stilts and is the central gathering point and dining area with comfortable sofas and a small library of books and material on the local area. Dinner is a three course menu, held in the “gunyah”, with a wood fire burning in the winter months or you can enjoy dinner in the privacy of your own tent and the surrounding bush. The camp has been built on ecological principles, with conservative usage of water and solar powered electricity.

Nearby Jervis Bay provides white sand beaches, serene coastal scenery and wildlife. The Bay plays host to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife: dolphins and fur seals have made this coast their home and Bowen Island is one of the northernmost rookeries for the Australian Fairy Penguin. Sitting on the point at Cape St. George on a cool clear winter’s day, watching the plumes of spray and swirls of water as Humpback and Southern Right whales head north on their annual migration is an exhilarating experience. Or if you feel more adventurous, you can view these

Why Paperbark?

• A quick, easy and very rewarding escape from nearby Sydney. The Gunyah Restaurant is a highlight and has won several awards. Take your own wine.
   

• A stunning arrival is to take the seaplane out of Watson’s Bay in the heart of Sydney Harbor, directly to the camp.
   

• Get back to nature – canoe on the Crumbing Creek, cycle bush trails, beach comb. Go boating on Jervis Bay and see – seals, dolphins, penguins and perhaps whales. For those more active get out fishing or snorkeling.
   

• There are some great local touring options, always with our expert guides, such as bush tucker tours into the Bordered National Park with a local aboriginal guide and excursions into the Morton & Bedewing National Parks in the Great Dividing Range.
