Basin-Front Living Between Sanctuary Point and Erowal Bay
Old Erowal Bay wraps around a sheltered corner of St Georges Basin, with Sanctuary Point to the west and Erowal Bay to the east along the foreshore road. The basin is calm, shallow and good for kayaks and tinnies, and the streets that run down to it are lined with single-level homes, many built in the 1980s and 90s for people retiring to the water and steadily joined by younger families priced out of the bay-side villages.
It is a residential place rather than a commercial one. There is no shopping strip; residents head to Sanctuary Point or Vincentia for groceries and to Nowra for anything bigger. What Old Erowal Bay does have is a settled community of retirees, working families and home-based workers who want their computers, phones and internet to just work, and who appreciate a technician who explains things without rushing.
Patient Support for Homes Along the Basin Foreshore
A large share of households here are retirees, some in their eighties, and their needs are specific. Staying in touch with children and grandchildren interstate, doing banking and government business online, printing the odd document and avoiding the scam calls and emails that target older Australians. We spend as much time teaching as fixing, and we write instructions down so they are there after we leave.
Younger families in the newer parts of the suburb face a different set of issues: several kids streaming and gaming at once, school laptops with locked-down settings, and a parent working remotely from a spare room. The NBN reaches the area, but house layouts with the modem stuck in a front bedroom mean weak signal by the time it gets to the back deck facing the water.
Home-Based Businesses and Trades Around the Basin
Old Erowal Bay’s businesses mostly operate out of homes and utes. Builders, electricians, plumbers and landscapers servicing the Basin villages, cleaners and gardeners who look after holiday properties in Vincentia and Huskisson, a few bookkeepers, consultants and therapists, and residents employed by Nowra firms who now work from home several days a week.
For these operators, the office is a laptop on the dining table and a phone that never stops. Common requests are separating business and family use on shared devices, keeping quotes and invoices backed up, getting email that looks professional, and making sure a home network is safe enough for handling client files. None of it is complicated, but it is easy to put off until something breaks.
Where Old Erowal Bay Sits and How We Get There
The suburb is reached from The Wool Road via Sanctuary Point or from Erowal Bay along the foreshore, about twenty-five minutes south of Nowra and a short drive from Vincentia and the bay beaches. Sanctuary Point provides the nearest shops, medical services and the club; St Georges Basin village and Basin View lie further west along the water. Bushland backs the northern edge of the suburb, which is a reminder to keep a bushfire plan current each summer.
Old Erowal Bay is on a regular loop for us through the Basin villages, so visits are easy to arrange, and we start with a phone call or remote session where that will save you a call-out. Other suburbs around the Basin and bay are listed on our Jervis Bay area page.
