Dungowan Holiday Accommodation

Dungowan Holiday Accommodation occupies a prime spot on Naval Parade at Erowal Bay, a small holiday settlement on the northern shores of St Georges Basin on the NSW south coast. The cottages and apartments sit right on the water, and the property leans into everything the basin offers: kayaks and pedal boats for the water, lake views from the deck, and kangaroos on the lawn at dusk.

Guest reviews highlight the waterfront views, the clean cabins and the boats as what makes the stay, and the setting does the rest. Erowal Bay is quiet in a way Jervis Bay towns across the water are not, which suits families wanting basin access without Huskisson traffic. The water here is calm, shallow and friendly for kids and dogs alike, and the fishing is a local religion.

Dogs at Dungowan

BringFido reports dogs of any size are permitted with no pet fee, and cats are considered on request. The venue's own site is silent on pets, so treat these details as reported practice and coordinate with management before arrival on which apartments or cottages take pets. The no fee detail is a genuine outlier if it holds, but confirm it rather than budgeting on it.

For a dog, the basin frontage is the whole sale. Shallow water to splash in, a quiet street loop for walks, and grassed space at the waterline. St Georges Basin is not an off leash beach, so keep your mate on lead at the shoreline and mind the shorebirds.

Ask the hosts which unit has the most direct lawn-to-water access when you book, and stock up before you arrive, because there is no shop in the settlement and the nearest full services are a drive away.

A few practical notes. The grounds are not fully fenced, so a wandering dog needs active supervision right to the waterline, and the foreshore tracks along Naval Parade are at their best early morning and golden hour, when the basin goes glassy and the temperature drops. Ticks are part of South Coast bushland, so keep the prevention current, and pack a towel discipline for sandy paws because there is no wash-down bay.

Close by with the dogs

Jervis Bay is across the water and the dog friendly options are thick on the ground: Harleys at Husky and Salty Joes in Huskisson for breakfast, the Callala Bay foreshore walk for a flat waterside leg stretch, and Grey Gables at Callala Bay if you need a second pet friendly base. The NSW stays listing has the rest of the coast covered.
