We were guests at Paperbark Camp and dined on our first evening. It's set amongst the canopy of the lovely surrounding bush and is a world apart from any fine dining experience in Sydney (or any other city I imagine).

The meals were all delicious, above all the lamb (mains) and chocolate mousse. The cheeseboard also stood out and was accompanied perfectly with a port. The service was wonderful, the staff were friendly and attentive.

But above all, the atmosphere is perfect, and a visit to jervis bay would be entirely lacking without a meal at the Gunyah.

If this restaurant weren't in rural nsw, it probably wouldn't have been given a SMH hat. I've had pub food just as good and for half the price. Despite many tables being available in the outdoor area, we were seated in the dingy back room - enough to ruin the experience. They also indulge in the outdated practice of charging customers for bread which they've brought out without asking.

We waited a good 15 minutes after asking for the bill twice. Wait staff were already being served their own dinners while we waited for someone to clear our table. When we eventually decided to go to the counter, the front-of-house could barely manage to make eye contact as we paid.

If you're looking for a special night out in jervis bay - head somewhere else instead.
