We had a great time at wombat flats! We had the place to ourselves and it was lovely. The spot was shady and fairly flat, not much leveling needed. The kids enjoyed watching the cows and sheep and trying to catch a fish in the creek. Was nicely central to exploring the region around Jervis Bay/Sussex Inlet etc.

Just returned from a weekend with our old dog at Wombat Flat, great place to unwind. Large level area that is private and quiet. Plenty of shade if it’s hot and about 50m from a wide slow flowing creek (beware submerged branches from recent floods?). Very peaceful, no boats, tiny whisper of traffic noise that gets drowned out by the birds. Wombat one night, friendly horses and cows if you go for a wander thru the paddocks. Thought it was a little pricey but there was a pile of cut wood at camp and the solitude was just what we were looking for. If you’re looking to be entertained you won’t find it at Wombat Flats, strictly BYO fun in whatever form you choose. Sanctuary Point, Huskisson,
