Worrowing Heights

At Worrowing Heights, rural farm history, nature experiences and cycling connections come together. The history of the Worrowing estate dates back to Erowal Farm in the early 1830s. Guests can encounter animals along the estate trails; cycle routes connect Worrowing with neighboring coastal towns and villages. This gives travelers a range of ways to shape their stay, balancing historical interest with outdoor activities.

The history of Erowal Farm

Worrowing describes itself as the last remaining piece of rural land from Erowal Farm, which dates to the early 1830s. The original Erowal homestead was built in 1830 under the supervision of farm manager David Blair. Local sandstone and bricks made by convicts were used in its construction. The two dates refer to different levels: the early 1830s relate to the wider farm setting, while 1830 is the date of the homestead. The story thus leads from a rural tract of land to a specific building. Those interested in rural history can consider the two scales side by side: the farm grounds and the creation of the homestead. The sandstone connects the building’s history with the local surroundings; the convicts’ brickmaking adds a dimension of labor.

Nature on the Worrowing estate

The 250-hectare Worrowing Jervis Bay estate is surrounded by national park and offers accommodation. On the walking trails of the Worrowing estate, its guests can encounter kangaroos, wallabies and various bird species. The national park setting and walking trails refer to different aspects of the estate: its location and the trails where guests can encounter animals. The walking trails are for guests staying on the estate. For families who enjoy discovering nature together, the trails can offer a shared focus for their stay.

Cycle connections to coastal towns and villages

Cycle routes connect Worrowing with neighboring coastal towns and villages. Unlike the walking trails on the estate, they provide connections between places. If you would like to get around by bike, these connections can take your focus beyond your stay on the estate to nearby places. For trip planning, these are two different scales: nature experiences on the estate or cycling between neighboring places.
