Welcome to Mermaid's Rest a pet friendly eco lodge just a few hundred metres stroll to shops, cafes, the pub and the water's edge.

Mermaids is an Australian roundhouse that is fully clad in western red cedar. Sash and stained glass windows ensure that sunlight fills the upper floor, making the most of this unique 360 degree aspect.You will find yourself transported to a magical other-worldly time and place and experience; a stay the likes of which you won't find anywhere else on the south coast.

Entry to this home is via an elevated spiral boardwalk that expands out to an upper level wrap-around veranda and dining area. The upper level of the home is a fully modernised, yet traditionally built, Australian roundhouse with a rock and roll aesthetic. This hexagonal living space is completely open and has a modern kitchen, dining area, living area, flat screen smart TV, books, games and a large daybed perfect for relaxing away from it all.

Downstairs is a traditional cobb brick home with flagstone floors and inlaid coloured feature glass. These sustainable building choices adapt to, and make the most of, their setting. Furnishings seemlessly blend with their environment including a four-poster bed and slipper bath!

Outside is all about the Australiana experience, complete with a completely private corrugated tin outdoor shower and a fire pit that can be enjoyed outside or watched on from an enclosed sunroom.

There is much to see and do in St Georges Basin and Jervis Bay and Mermaids Rest is located right amongst it! Enjoy swimming, snorkeling, hiking, surfing, fishing, exploring National Parks, dolphin/whale watch cruises and much more.

This home is made of traditional mud brick building techniques and as such may not be suitable to major allergy sufferers as cobb stone can generate quite a bit of dust.
The outdoor areas have been designed to be pet and child securable but please note that they must be supervised at all times if in the lower level as the pond is not fenced.
The outhouses and chicken coop are not accessible for guests.
