Reviews of Sandholme Guesthouse
| [-] Jervis Bay |
- The Jervis Bay district was originally inhabited by the Dhurga Aboriginal people. European exploration of the area around the Huskisson began in 1812. When wool prices soared at the outset of the 1840s Governor Gipps sent 70 convicts to cut a track that has become known as The Wool Road from Braidwood to Jervis Bay. It was Gipps decision to establish Huskisson in 1840, although it took more than 20 years until George Dent established a ship building industry.

The village is central to the southern part of the Shoalhaven with easy access to Sussex Inlet, Milton and Nowra.
