Map of Motels in Huskisson
In Huskisson, there are good caravan parks with cabin accommodation - I have always had exceptionally good reports back from workshop attendees who have stayed here:
http://www.whitesandstouristpark.com.au/ and http://www.huskissonbeachtouristresort.com.au/
There are a number of motels in Huskisson (the Huskisson Beach Motel tel: 4441 6387 or the Jervis Bay Motel tel: 4441 5781 are both good and in the main street area - the Jervis bay Motel is the closest to our Huskisson venue). Huskisson itself is on the shores of Jervis bay and has a range of restuarants, shops, cafes a pub, RSL and bowling club as well as water activities like kayak and stand up paddle hire.
The Jervis Bay Tourism website is also a good place to browse for the kind of accommodation that you are looking for: https://www.jervisbaytourism.com.au/accommodation/
And the Visit NSW website has a section on the Jervis Bay area:
https://www.visitnsw.com/destinations/south-coast/jervis-bay-and-shoalhaven/jervis-bay/accommodation
Huskisson Bed and Breakfast (on the right as you come into Husky) is also highly recommended - their website is: http://www.huskissonbnb.com.au/ This is also the closest property to out Huskisson venue - an easy 2 minute walk across the football field.
Next to Huskisson B and B is Dolphin Sands Bed and Breakfast which is also a good option.
Vincentia is also on the shores of Jervis Bay, has restaurants, a large supermarket, golf club and is 5 minutes drive from the workshop location. There are a number of different accommodation options, via stayz and a spacious hotel option at http://www.dolphinshores.com.au/.
If you're looking for something a little more upmarket, have a look at some of the accommodation at: https://www.jervisbaygetaways.com.au/ There are various properties here, which range in size and will suit different needs and budgets. They are all nice places to stay - probably the most suitable would be at Worrowing (www.worrowing.com.au) itself which has some small cottages and is close to Vincentia, Huskisson and Sanctuary Point.
For specific accommodation requirements we recommend looking at a web site like stayz.com.au or googling "jervis bay accommodation".
There are some cheaper options as well via www.airbnb.com - Studio Cantamar is just outside Huskisson and is recommended. https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/870762
Also Kangaroo Cottage, at 42 Sanctuary Point Road is handily close to our Sanctuary Point venue and is available through airbnb on this link:

The website: www.holidayscollection.com.au specialises in holiday accommodation in the Jervis Bay and Basin area so you can find a suitable place to stay in a local suburb that suits you. There are 3 properties in Greville Avenue Sanctuary Point on this website that are within easy walking distance of our Sanctuary Point venue.
Also Tallowood Cottage on the shores of St Georges Basin is an ideal location for our Sanctuary Point venues. It's a beautifully renovated single roomed cottage which you can see on Airbnb here: https://www.airbnb.com.au/rooms/5299546
