Paperbark Camp

Paperbark Camp was an absolute delight to stay at. We were only able to stay 1 night, but everything was amazing. The rooms, well tents, are very well maintained, neat, tidy and clean. The beds are extremely comfortable. Haven't slept that well in a while. I would highly recommend Paperbark Camp for anything from a 1 night stay to a wedding or family get away. We had dinner, which was on point, and breakfast which was just as amazing and would rival any great restaurant anywhere. Compliments to the chef and all in the kitchen. The staff were extremely accommodating and helpful and an absolute joy to deal with. A special shout out to Suzy and Claudia, fantastic job ladies. Overall Paperbark Camp is a place I would, and will, return to for another stay.

5 stars are merited by a property being absolutely brilliant in what they set out to do. Paperbark Camp absolutely meets this bar. The property and accommodations are beautiful and the staff could not be more pleasant and professional. The tents are comfortable while maintaining a “luxury” feel and the surrounding bush immerses you in the best way. A highlight was tea in bed one morning while watching a wild kangaroo stop by for a visit. The food is incredible as well and dining is made to be an experience on its own. Every dish is delicious and full of unique flavors. My wife and I had the pleasure of meeting the owners during our visit and they are both wonderful people to talk to with many incredible stories of their travels. Though we live all the way on the east coast of the United States, this was the best possible way to end a trip to Australia and we cannot wait to return someday. Do yourself a favor and stay at this fantastic and unique property.

We loved everything about our stay! From the gift bottle of Prosecco we enjoyed in the thunderstorm as we checked in ( so sensual and romantic!) to the giant soaking tub which exposed us to the night air, to the gorgeous scrumptious decadent breakfasts & elegant locally sourced gourmet dinners, to the daily guidance on suggested activities-- loved all of it. Staff was charming and took excellent care of us. Body products were so lovely. Our bed was so cozy. We enjoyed the joyful bird chorus in the morning. None of the above captures what an exquisite unusual and wonderful experience one will have here.

I would highly recommend it to Japanese families who have been to Australia multiple times.Children have the best experience. For Japanese people, the lack of electricity and air conditioning may be a concern, but we had no problems at all and were able to spend a comfortable stay.

We recently had a 1-night stay at Paperbark Camp and it was absolutely divine. Dinner and breakfast were included in the initial booking which helped allow it to be a stress-free weekend for us, full of pampering. Dinner was so lovely and very efficient; our waiter was charismatic and explained everything with such perfect taste which made us feel very at ease - it truly made the meal an unforgettable experience. The food was magnificent; the chorizo and octopus risotto was perfectly cooked and the eye filet steak, was fantastic and paired brilliantly with the very special JB Brewery beers (best beers around town just to add aha). Our tent was super sweet to stay in, with an open bath and shower; surrounded by nature and wonderful wildlife, the ambiance was truly unmatched. There were plenty of activities to do such as kayaking, paddleboarding, bike riding which are all included in the booking price. My partner and I went on a paddleboard in the morning along the Currambene Creek, was so easy and enjoyable. All round this was such a beautiful stay, the staff were so friendly and welcoming and we truly felt this was a five star experience.

Best Glamping I've ever done. Had the pleasure of spending a night in the King Parrot tent and it was absolutely outstanding. The highlights included the extra large bath, the amazing outdoor shower and the front balcony that was enclosed with Mozzie netting. The camp itself is surrounded by bush with some great walks available and is just a really relaxing place to be. 10/10 would recommend.

We loved our whole experience, stayed in the Bowerbird tent, loved the decor, ambience, LOVED the outdoor shower. Food and service in the restaurant was great. Would definitely stay again, lots of great walks and incredible beaches in the area. Highly recommend.

If you love trees and natural habitats this is for you. And anyone who’s been to Africa and done a safari will experience a sense of dejavu. Food is great, albeit limited in choice. That said, the camp is looking a bit tired, and the service is a bit slow at meal times. Our experience was wonderful until breakfast on the last day when, having been told to seat ourselves anywhere on the balcony, an officious and rude member of waitstaff arrived at our table and loudly announced that we’d sat ourselves at a table for three, not two. She said it so loudly that both tables either side of us abruptly looked over, very embarrassing. As someone who has managed luxury safari camps in Africa and worked in hospitality myself, I was somewhat aghast at the rudeness and the way she’d said this. As annoying as this minor infraction must have been to her, there are some rules in hospitality, and she could have simply removed the extra place setting without the drama.

Ah glamping! Paperbark Camp is situated in Jervis Bay surrounded by trees and next to the river. The tent is nicely set up and comfortable with a big bed, space to move, a deck with comfy chairs and an open cupboard around the back. The bathroom is a tad exposed on certain tents, we were towards the back so they didn't have as many privacy screens which was very "free-ing" but a little panic inducing when noises were heard outside. While on the deck we saw kangaroos/wallabies (not sure) which was a nice reminder that we were just hanging out in the bush. Although another reminder was when in the middle of the night we heard a noise in the tent, a possum had made its way in through a crack! After finally convincing it to leave I barricaded the door and was on night possum guard for the rest of the night. Food was amazing, every dinner really impressed us and breakfast was solid. Search for "The Gunyah" for more reviews. They also do cocktails on the main deck, great to have before dinner while watching the mosquitos bounce around the balustrade (they provide lots of repellent). Bikes and canoes are available to use but we didn't use those. Instead we drove into town, visited shops and spent most of our times on the beautiful beaches. Overall the location and food was perfect. The services was friendly and chilled out, but that also meant things were just a little lax and not as polished to be 5 stars.
