About this property

Finchley B&B Wandandian - pets welcome

Situated two minutes off the Princes Highway (half way between Nowra to the north, and the charming village of Milton to the south) and convenient to many of the Jervis Bay region's most beautiful beaches. Finchley B&B offers guests an acre of fully fenced, lightly treed rural land with delightful views, sometimes including wallabies and kangaroos (sunrise and sunset), our local wombat, or our neighbours' horses and cattle grazing nearby.

We also have a dog-proof fenced yard connected to the rear of the cottage.

The Shoalhaven region has become famous for many quality wineries, some with their own restaurants, and some offering music events, local exhibitions etc, as well as many quality restaurants and cafes including the world renowned Rick Stein's at Bannisters, in Mollymook, and multi award winning Pelican Rocks seafood restaurant/cafe at Greenwell Point (very dog friendly) - plus weekend markets, galleries and museums.

We are conveniently situated within 20-30 minutes' driving distance of many beautiful Shoalhaven/Jervis Bay beaches, National Parks and bushwalking trails, waterfalls and lookouts. The Shoalhaven and Jervis Bay coast offers many popular fishing or snorkling spots, surfing beaches and bays (many, dog-friendly), walking trails, dolphin- and whale-watching cruises and more. You are also within a very pleasant day's outing through Kangaroo Valley to the Southern Highlands area behind us.

The cottage features some original works by a local artist, showing Jervis Bay beaches in their glorious colours, and these, together with beach bags with a choice of three of these views, are available to purchase as a souvenir of your visit, or perhaps a gift.

WANDANDIAN:
Located at the centre of the Shoalhaven, Wandandian village was first established as a postal district in 1860, and has a rich history, including being on the Wool Road which originally ran from Braidwood down to Jervis Bay where the wool was loaded onto ships for export. The village takes its name from the Wandandian people, the traditional owners of much of the region. The Aboriginal meaning of 'Wandandian' (originally Wandrawandian) is 'home of lost lovers'.

A tranquil week over Christmas 2022 was spent here.
Secluded. The bed was comfy. Nothing was lacking. Everything worked as it should. Great three-meter-wide shady verandah. Could look at the view all day. Great complimentary breakfast ingredients. A fastidious and obliging host. Thank you, Bronwyn. John, Connie, Michelle, Bailey & Poppy.

An absolute delight!
My partner and I came with our Italian greyhound and I cannot recommend the property enough! We had a great stay and thanks to Bronwyn’s hospitality, our Italian greyhound was made to feel like an equal guest. The property had a huge space for our dog to run for hours as the sun set with the smell of the fire. The accomodation was incredibly cosy and just what we needed to come home to after a day of exploring the South Coast. Bronwyn gave us a fully stocked cupboard and provided all the essentials and was extremely thoughtful for any pets who stay. There’s plenty of info in the cottage to inspire you to explore all that the South Coast has to offer which I loved. Bronwyn was also great at communicating before and during the stay. Thanks so much Bronwyn and we hope to stay again in future so Basil can reunite with your three gorgeous Cavaliers!

About the host

Hosted by Bronwyn Reid

Host profile image
I have lived in Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide; and rurally for over 30 years now. While my beloved Sydney (Harbour) is still within easy reach (delightful train journey up the coast), the lifestyle and beauty of this Jervis Bay region is very hard to beat, and there is always somewhere new to explore. I am working my way through the local tourism's "100 Beach Challenge" (up to about 60+ at time of writing). I love travel, photography, reading, crafts, my pets, and living in this wonderful region, plus meeting my guests and their pets.

Why they chose this property

The setting for Finchley offers the best of both worlds... pretty and peaceful here, and within a very convenient radius of so many lovely places and things to do. The cottage (and smaller unit listed separately - refer "Little Finchley" listing number 9201723) has a spacious separate verandah which is great for dining al fresco or a BBQ, enjoying the summer afternoon easterly breezes with a glass of wine. Other options are snoozing in the hammock under the gum trees, or sitting round the fire pit toasting marshmallows on a clear, still night. (Hammock installed in gumtrees by owners on request.)

What makes this property unique

We chose this site specifically for our B and B because the existing cottage, set on a very gently sloping site, really lent itself to becoming a B and B. We built on a 2-storey extension as our private residence, and a while after the B and B cottage was up and running, added the smaller unit, (now middle section, between main cottage and private residence) as more of a budget accommodation option, ideally for single or a couple of through-travelers who don't need or want all the space both indoor and out - provided with the main cottage, but still being pet friendly and well stocked smaller version. These two units can open up into a larger one for bigger groups. Many guests love all the fenced, secure space their pets can run around in safely, plus the dog-proof-fenced yard off a rear door of the main cottage. The smaller unit has a spacious, enclosed, gated verandah and lawn area beyond, which can be securely enclosed. Well behaved, house-trained pets over six months of age are welcome indoors (bowls, rugs and couch protectors provided), we ask only that they do not disturb other guests, towels and covers supplied are used where necessary to protect furniture/bedding, no greasy bones on furniture either indoors or out, and that owners clean up after their pets (doggy do bags provided and a dedicated small rubbish bin in the verandah for your convenience)..
