The Jervis Bay site has two options, including the expansive ‘Marlu House’, a sprawling property that sleeps up to 10 guests across five generous bedrooms. We highly recommend an evening spent out by the firepit.
Lumiere Lakes
Sitting upon the banks of Lake Conjola, Lumiere Lakes is about as picturesque as it gets. The home sleeps 10 and is the ultimate in contemporary coastal luxury, with texture-packed interiors, a remote-operated fireplace, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces and a location moments from attractions in Milton and Ulladulla.

Central Coast
Ravensdale Retreat
Sprawling across a private 200-acre escarpment in the Yarramalong Valley, Ravensdale Retreat promises a luxurious escape into nature.
