Woollamia: Water, Nature and Dining

Woollamia connects Currambene Creek with on-the-water experiences and nature in the surrounding area and further afield. It is also home to The Gunyah, a treetop dining room that welcomes guests who are not staying on site. You can tailor your stay to different interests: paddling and boating activities, nature watching, or a meal made with local and seasonal ingredients.

Water on Currambene Creek

The Woollamia boat ramp facility serves as a starting point for recreational fishing and allows boats to be launched; the Woollamia regional boatramp provides access to Currambene Creek. Before making plans, check the ramp’s current operating conditions, as arrangements may change. Local stingrays are also spotted at the Woollamia regional boatramp—a natural feature that adds to the area’s connection with the water.

Kayaking is another activity in Woollamia. It lets you plan your day around different interests: recreational fishing, launching a boat, or paddling. While these activities all revolve around the water, they offer different ways to spend your time.

Dining with local ingredients

The treetop dining room The Gunyah also welcomes guests who are not staying on site. Reservations are required, and times may vary. The offering includes breakfast, afternoon cocktails, bar snacks and dinner. When planning a visit to The Gunyah, consider both the meal you want and the time that suits you, and book ahead. Dishes are prepared with local and seasonal ingredients: their origin and season give the culinary part of your trip a distinct connection to the offering.

Reserves and birdlife

Close to Woollamia, Woollamia Nature Reserve includes forest and wetland vegetation, as well as habitats for threatened forest-dependent animal species. The 2011 management plan states that cycling on management trails is permitted, given the flat terrain. Check current signs and conditions before riding.

In the wider travel area, the Currambene Creek estuary offers another perspective on the water landscape: it flows into Jervis Bay Marine Park and is an important feeding and resting area for waders and migratory birds. These include the Australasian bittern and the eastern curlew. This distinguishes the wider estuary context from the habitats in the nearby reserve: here, the focus is on its importance as a resting and feeding area for birds, while the reserve features forest and wetland vegetation and habitats for threatened forest-dependent animal species.
