The wedding and accommodation are at Bewong River Retreat, within the Jervis Bay and St Georges Basin area where Rika grew up, and where her Mum and Nonna still live. Bewong River Retreat is a wonderful property which backs onto a freshwater river (great for swimming and boating), has 9 bungalows, can accommodate 10 glamping tents, and plenty of tents. There is a great space for the wedding reception, and oodles of room for activities and socialising in between. There are a few accommodation options available on-site, such as glamping tents and bungalow cabins. We may also be able to accommodate camping or campervans once these are booked - stay tuned! Jervis Bay is a beautiful area, with plenty of places to stay and a lot to see, but the transport is limited, so please keep this in mind when you make your choice. For minimum travel and maximum fun, consider staying on-site at Bewong River Retreat! I've also included some instructions on how to get there, so check those out!

Travel Note

How to get to Jervis Bay

From Sydney: Drive 3 hours South down the Princes Highway, or catch the train to Bomaderry and rent a car in Nowra to drive the rest of the way. From Canberra: Drive 3 hours East, Google maps is your friend, I think you've got this! From Melbourne: Drive 9 or 10 hours either inland through Albury or via the coast, or fly to Sydney/Canberra and go from there If enough people are keen, we could possibly all chip in and rent a bus to charter people from Bomaderry to the venue. Or maybe even one from Syd or Melb if there's enough interest. Email BennyandRikaHobart@gmail.com to let us know if you'd like something like this..

Travel Note

Wedding Venue: Bewong River Retreat

The wedding and accommodation are at Bewong River Retreat - 2395 Princes Hwy, Bewong NSW 2540, Australia. Use Google maps (click "View", below) to navigate to the address! When you get there, you will see a large metal gate with the letters "RR" in the centre. The code to open the gate will be updated here a few weeks before the wedding.

House Or Rental

Bewong River Retreat - Bungalows

There are a number of bungalows at the wedding venue. They have an open-plan layout with a queen bed, couch, balcony overlooking the bush, spa bath, kitchen, and ensuite. The bungalows are $260/night for a minimum of 2 nights. Some of the bungalows have a pull-out sofa couch, let us know if you want one of those. To book a bungalow, email BennyandRikaHobart@gmail.com (cute, right?) Limited availability, first in = best dressed.

House Or Rental

Bewong River Retreat - Glamping

Ever wanted to stay in a luxury teepee? Now's your chance! For $200/night (minimum 2 nights), you can stay in an extremely comfortable glamping bell tent. You can specify if you want your tent to be set up near the other teepees, or if you'd prefer to camp right next door to your besties in one of the bungalows. To book a glamping tent, email BennyandRikaHobart@gmail.com ASAP! Limited availability, first in = best dressed so email soon!

House Or Rental

AirBnB

You all know the drill with AirBnB - it can be incredible if you find the right place! I've got some tips to help. Within Jervis Bay, if you'd like a beach-front property, check out Vincentia and Huskison. Sanctuary Point and St George's Basin may have more budget-friendly options. There are very limited taxis in the area; I would recommend calling ahead to see if you can book one, or allocating your designated driver EARLY, before you book accommodation off-site (I don't want you to drink and drive, and I also don't want you to miss out on any of the fun).

House Or Rental

Bewong River Retreat - Camping

Once the on-site Bungalows and Glamping options are booked out (their rules, not ours, sorry!) guests are welcome to camp or bring a campervan on-site for a cost of $20 per person, per night. There are the usual camping amenities available - outdoor, shared camp kitchen, and toilet/shower block. Get in touch by email if you want to know more (BennyandRikaHobart@gmail.com)
