The Cove Jervis Bay

We got married at the Cove in April 2024 and couldn't have been happier with everything - its the most beautiful location to have a wedding at! The beach and water in the background, the stunning wedding hall with the dried flower installation on the ceiling, the friendly kangaroos, the ocean cabin was beautiful and we loved the outdoor tub.

We fell in love with the venue immediately and didn't even bother viewing any others because its perfect!

The staff were super friendly and looked after us very well, even posting some items to me after the event that had been left behind and ensuring I had an endless supply of coffee! The hampers left in our room were a gorgeous touch.

Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

Thank you to everyone at the Cove for making our special day perfect!

The yurts are brilliant although a little tired. For instance ours didn't zip up fully as the fly screen was ripped which did worry me in the night as to what would wander in, but nothing did! The spare bed was not comfy apparently but I didn't care because I was in the comfy double!
The kitchen facilities were great. We made lots of new friends just being around each other. The fire pit was a great place to hang out.
The kangaroos were great and nice to see.
Toilets and shower were clean.
Beach access great and paddleboard and kayak hire free and really nice to go on. The water was warm as flat.
Beaches great around the area.
Had a great time.

The Cove is a spectacular place to stay. We stayed there with our family of four, it was perfect for young children as they could run about safely and swim in the stunning bay. They even had adventures on the sand dunes. The Kangeroo's were such a highlight. Perfect for those visiting from overseas. Such an untouched magical place. The accommodation was perfect, clean, and so comfortable. You can tell the owners have put in so much love through the furnishings and finer details. And the staff! Wow, outstanding. Love this place, wish we could keep it our little secret. Will be back!

I had the honour of attending a wedding at The Cove Jervis Bay at the end of March, 2024 and it was an excellent adventure. We left the security of the City mid afternoon and made it to the National Park boom gate before the 6pm deadline.
Our 3 car convoy travelled the unsealed road through the National Park as the sun began to set and we came over a hill through the trees we could see the sun reflecting off the water in the bay, there was still another 10 minutes travel and we didn’t t know what to expect!
A wallaby jumped past and excitement began to gain momentum.
At the gate a sign states ‘snakes are active in this area’.
Down the driveway and you’re greeted with multi room, self contained cabins, a glamping area and the Funhouse. There were 12 of us and we got the funhouse, kids and all sharing with a couple of the bridal party members.
It was very comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and large enough for us all to hang out while we prepped, cooked laughed.
There were enough bathroom facilities for us all to share and the bunk rooms had their own little ensuite.
It had an outdoor area that everyone could meet at, with a BBQ and plenty of seating undercover.
Swimming, canoes, paddle boards, fishing, we did everything in the short 3 days we were there.
The wedding was spectacular, the bright blue waters of the cove providing a brilliant day with a beautiful backdrop.
As the sun went down dinner was served in the dining room catering to all or the bride and grooms requests.
The first dance and reception was held down a couple of steps in an outdoor function area under a couple of grand trees covered in fairy lights. It made the entire evening seem magical.
There was a lot of food and the staff were around but discreet. It was wonderful.
The best part about the whole adventure was that although we were all there together, we all had space.

We always wanted a beach wedding, but originally we were imagining a wedding much smaller. However once we found The Cove nothing compared. With a quarter or our guestlist coming from overseas and the rest coming from interstate, we wanted the venue to be special ... and it was certainly that!!

Being a DIY/BYO venue we could really make the weekend unique to us. We were able to create a three day event, while keeping it low key and fun like we wanted. We were SO lucky with the weather and with so many areas of the venue to use, nothing felt repetitive. It was utter magic being in such a beautiful location, immersed in nature and celebrating with all of your favourite people.

All of our guests could not stop raving about the experience. It was beyond special!!

Thank you to the team at The Cove for helping us create the most memorable weekend of our lives.

Wonderful stay for a family wedding.

Rooms comfortable and clean and staff friendly and the wedding was well organised, delicious food and wonderful memories made celebrating!

The wildlife and water spectacular and it really felt like a resort on a private island!

Only a little wish was for an out door shower to rinse off after a swim before heading back to cabin to avoid bring sand in.

I was so lucky enough to have my wedding at The Cove. It was everything I could have dreamed of, we hired out the entire venue and accommodation which how guests loved. The Cove has been a place where so many memories have been created and will always hold a special place in our heart.
The staff were next level and made each guests feel so comfortable and happy- nothing was too much it was like they were apart of the family.
Much love to all you guys at The Cove and you will see the Haddon whanau again very soon xx

The Cove is incredible, my husband and I were so lucky to have the most amazing wedding there!! The staff made the whole wedding process so easy and made sure everything ran smoothly on the day. All of our guests were able to stay onsite and raved about how good the location, accomodation, staff and facilities were. Would highly recommend The Cove as a wedding venue, we couldn't have had a better experience!!

We had an epic two-night stay at The Cove in the fun house. Shoutout to Cathy, Ash and Lauren for making the trip a breeze and improving our stay tenfold with their incredible service and delightful smiles!

I was here for a wedding and it was absolutely beautiful. The cabins are built for families where you bring your own food, have a stove and just a little walk and you are on a beach that looks untouched.
The kids would love it. Going to go back for a family holiday.
The WiFi isn't great reception which for a busy mum, it allowed me to be out of contact with tech and one with nature.

Hosted an amazing wedding weekend for my son and new wife. Food was delicious, service perfect. Venue idyllic

WOW!! WHERE DO WE START?!

We booked The Cove for our wedding on 12 August 2023, this is a venue to stay on 2/3 nights. We couldn’t have chosen a better venue, all of the staff were amazing, the admin team on the other side was amazing with the help and information leading up to the wedding, especially their communication. The accommodation was amazing and it was beautiful to have all of our family and friends in the one place. Our wedding day was everything we hoped for and more. On the morning of our wedding the staff helped set up the ceremony location while also making sure that the place was clean by keeping all bins empty and any rubbish away to be seen.

As this is a DIY venue, it does require a little bit more work, this allows you to have your own caters and do exactly what you wanted. The Cove do give you a list of suppliers which they work with quite closely. They also include in your wedding package a recovery breakfast that will happen the day after your wedding, the food was also delicious.

staff are super lovely and took so much care and effort into looking after us and checking in whilst we stayed there. The rooms were very nice but will definitely be checking out the glamping tents on our next stay as they looked super cool. Loved being right on the beach and great spot for the kids to swim and run around at the inlet going into a slow moving creek ( also a great fishing spot for us), and interacting with the many kangaroos that came to see us right at our doorstep on the site. Great spot for the family as it feels like you're on your own little island whilst still being so close to town and everything Jervis Bay has to enjoy.

We were there for a wedding. It was a very beautiful set up. Great place to get away from the city and spend a few days with nature and friendsand family. There were Kangaroos and native birds which my toddler was very excited about. The beach was beautiful and we had options for paddle boarding and kayaking or just walking by the beach collecting shells.

A secret slice of paradise and our second visit to The Cove! We came last spring with a group of friends and loved it, just as much as we did coming as a family for downtime this spring. Secluded, safe and escaping the busy life for some quality family down time. We love The Cove!

Bella at front desk was very Good very friendly kids had lots of fun whole day lots of activities to do
🦘 kangaroos every where whole day
Nice clean peaceful
Very Co-operative staff guided everything
Just 1thing to be mentioned

Spent a few days here for a friend's wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous. I can't stop bragging to everyone how stunning the venue is. It was also a really relaxing stay. I stayed in the glamping tent and the beds were comfortable to sleep in. The water was a beautiful, crystal clear blue and the sourounding wildlife was lovely. Definetly recommend.

We booked The Cove for our wedding and we couldn't have chosen a better venue. All the staff were amazing and couldn't do enough to help us on the day - even helped organise a whole change of area due to the rain. The venue was so good even a little rain couldn't dampen our day! From a meeting on the Friday to make sure we had everything in place, to cooking up a monster recovery breakfast on the Sunday to soak up the hangovers every interaction was just a delight. Friendly staff, amazing scenery and some local wildlife - do yourselves a favour and book the Cove if you have an event coming up. can not say enough great things or recommend them more.

We married at The Cove midweek, Thursday 4th May and it was a dream at The Cove. We asked our guests to pay a portion of accommodation costs, covering close to half & planned the most epic 3 day wedding party.

Every guest has commented on just how amazing the venue is, we were blessed with beautiful weather and every wedding dream completely came to life. I used suppliers that come recommended to the area & my wedding was truly one to remember.

I am so glad that of the few venues we looked at, we chose The Cove as everything was just perfect. Thank you to the lovely staff members that took care of us and really helped to make our day. From Laura in planning and Lucy closer to the date - big thank you!! Best wedding location ever! Kitty & Eddy xx

We had our wedding at the Cove in February 2023. It was basically the only venue we looked at and we pretty much booked it immediately. We were looking for a venue that:
- We could spend the weekend
- Was near the coast
- We could design our way, including food and drinks

The cove is completely DIY, which while made for a bit more work , allowed us to create the wedding of our dreams.

Before the wedding the staff and particularly Yo and Laura helped us with all of the questions we had and were very accomodating with our wishes.

From the day we got there you could see how hard all the staff work to get the place looking absolutely immaculate and The Cove really do the location justice. Nestled in the national park right on the coast, the beautiful details of the The Cove really play off the beautiful surrounds. They have a little family of kangaroos that basically live there, and other wildlife that makes the venue feel so natural.

The staff were very friendly during our wedding weekend and seemed genuinely excited for us and wanted to help us have the perfect weekend. The location doesn't get much better. The ceremony was beautiful with the backdrop of the crystal blue inlet and once the sun goes down the whole venue is glittered in Fairy lights.

All of our guests raved about the whole venue and weekend and one of our friends even booked it for their own wedding on the Sunday.

A magical Weekend at a magical venue. Thank you to all the staff at The Cove.
