Out and about nearby

The Shoalhaven has a wealth of natural treasures, but the bay area is the jewel in its crown with its clear and calm waters, amazing white sand beaches and pristine coastal bush landscapes. The area boasts three national parks, The Booderee National Park, Jervis Bay National Park and Jervis Bay Marine Park, as well as idyllic surrounding countryside. For land-lovers, this means many kilometres of walking trails, deserted beaches, and an incredible wild for a wide variety of native wildlife. Those willing to venture further afield may pay a visit to the nearby quaint country villages of Berry or Kangaroo Valley, or simply admire the magnificent views over the Shoalhaven from the vantage point of the dramatic Illawarra Escarpment. However, it is the crystal-clear waters of Jervis Bay that continue to entice Sydney-siders, and international tourists alike. Choose from snorkelling, scuba diving, sea kayaking, sailing, fishing and surfing. Another fantastic option is to hop on-board a wildlife cruise out in the bay in search of the most inquisitive mammals on the planet. A resident pod of over 100 dolphins, several seal colonies, and regular humpback whale sightings provide a once-in-a-lifetime foreground to the twinkling blue of the calm Pacific Ocean.

Absolutely loved it. Bespoke sense of the trip is very good. Very pleasant and efficient service.

Luxury bespoke holidays and tours to Paperbark Camp, New South Wales

Paperbark Camp features 12 canvas safari style tents that have been thoughtfully placed amongst the soaring eucalypts and intriguing paperbarks of Currambene Creek. Almost treehouse in style, they have been built above the ground to provide maximum privacy for guests, exceptional views and the gentle sea breeze from the South Coast. All tents feature wrap around decking and outdoor furniture, providing the perfect vantage point to spot the exceptional variety of local flora and fauna. Whilst minimalist in style, sleep soundly in a camp that is as glamorous as glamping can be. From high quality linen, to full insect screening, Paperbark Camp will provide all the luxury hotel amenities you could ask for. Bird watch and kangaroo spot from the comfort of a steaming hot shower in your open-air private en-suite. The Gunyah (aboriginal for meeting place, or place of shelter) is the heart of the camp. Designed by Sydney architects Nettleton Tribe, it is a unique space built high off the ground to ensure a sea breeze as you gaze through the treetops. In the warmer months, the sliding doors open for outdoor dining on the veranda, providing a bushy backdrop to candlelit meals. In the winter, an open fire with cosy lounges is ideal spot to curl up on after a nightcap, perhaps to swap some travelling tales with other guests, or to enjoy a game of cards. At sunset though, be sure to lounge on the Sundowner deck where a late afternoon drink and tasty bar snacks are the perfect accompaniment to the mesmerising theatre of a sky full of ambers, pinks, oranges and midnight blues.

Room descriptions

Paperbark Camp has 12 safari-style tents which all include full insect screening, solar-powered lighting, a large decking area, polished hardwood flooring, en-suite bathrooms, handmade soaps and lotions and slippers and gowns.

Original safari-style tents These are the most basic of the safari-tents, however they include everything needed for a more-than-comfortable stay
Deluxe safari-style tents These tents feature luxury linen and an outdoor lounge, for those wanting a little more 'glam' in their glamping experience

About New South Wales and Sydney

An Expressions tailor-made holiday to New South Wales and Sydney encompasses all of Australia’s diversity, with lush rainforests, isolated outback landscape and Alpine country, combined with rich Aborigine and European history. Sydney is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, with excellent beaches and culture. The land stretches out from the city to the mystical Blue Mountains, and beyond that to the wine country of the Hunter valley and the arid desert. Along the coast, resort towns utilise the golden sands and warm climate, but south of the city it is possible to find a little more seclusion in the more picturesque and less developed coastal towns.

Highlights of New South Wales and Sydney

Circular Quay for magnificent panoramas of the Sydney harbour, Experience Sydney’s beach culture at Bondi Beach, Wildlife and wilderness in the Blue Mountains, Yulefest in July in the Blue Mountains – complete with log fires and yuletide trimmings for a ‘traditional Christmas’, Skiing in the Snowy Mountains, Visit the outback and the beautiful Mutawintji National Park in the far northwest of the state, The unspoilt south coast and its fishing villages, Vineyard tours in the Hunter Valley.
