From the reviews it may sound like we are at the house but we do not live there and it is a self contained home. We make you feel special with the little extras we do for you from the time of booking.
Had a wonderful time in this really magnificent house. Spent a week enjoying and relaxing in the house and what the area has to offer. Beautiful sunrises, gorgeous weather, nice and quiet towns. Enjoyed romantic dinners and had a massage here at the house. The fire was very easy to get started and set the scene for awesome nights in. Saw kangaroos in Jervis Bay Booderee National Park. Overall had a phenominal week. A credit to Jane and Philip 11/10...
A great romantic, relaxing, seachange getaway. View constantly changing. Georgeous beaches, great choice of resturants nearby, everything you need right here. A place to remember, a destination to come back to.

Thanks to Jane and Philip for such a beautiful house, (so immaculate and clean), with a view to die for and the attention to detail, it is all just lovely. We had a very relaxing time, sad for it to end. We went for a drive to Batemans Bay with a few stops on the way and the others days we visited the beaches, around the Jervis Bay, which were spectacular. I got some awesome photos of the beaches and even saw Dolphins riding the waves. Also did a Dolphin Cruise, which was also spectacular. The weather has been a real treat. I took some beautiful sunrise photos from the house too. What a perfect life...
Spa, views, fire, clean, great!!
Sunrise and sunset just so divine, The views from the house are top of the line, Warm showers, comfy beds, welcoming fire, What more could any traveller desire.We have had a great time and feel sure we'll be back. Many thanks.

Very beautiful house, fantastic views. House is immaculate. Thankyou Jane and Philip. The wine, flowers, chocolates, bubble bath, and candles were a great added touch. Wow, I saw sunrises and sunsets and even the moon overlooking the ocean that was so magical, all from the balcony...absolutely glorious...We are both relaxed..... to sit in peace and listen to nature and hear birds singing.....I had not heard or seen a kookaburra in such a long time.....Just seeing and hearing them made me happy...We went exploring on beaches.. Heaps of beautiful pictures.....So beautiful out there....White sand beaches...I thought I was in heaven...Kind of even reminds me of Great Barrier Reef....Our stay was very relaxing and peaceful. Just what we wanted.
What a wonderful place to spend my first holiday with my irish love. We loved the house, the beaches and the opportunity to relax and enjoy.
Had a fantastic w/e. The house is beautiful, the views amazing. The sunrise is beautiful.
Thankyou Jane and Philip for this lovely place. I don't think I have ever lived in such a clean environment. We loved the flowers annd the BBQ. We sat for 20mins trying to come up with room for improvement but couldn't think of any!! The place is pretty much perfect. Thanks again for a wonderful holiday.
We had a lovely, restful few days. As always Jervis Bay is so beautiful and to have this lovely home to come back to at the end of each day just made it a perfect holiday for us. Thanks Jane and Philip for putting so much thought into A Blue Point House. Honestly could not find anything wrong. <
We woke up to the most beautiful tranquil view of Jervis Bay. Also the superb scriggly gum to bewitch us. Glorious!
Our 4th time. Just as wonderful. We'll be back again

Home away from Home with Views, by Sue Coulton
Holiday makers have long been drawn to the Jervis Bay area because of the beauty of the surrounds.
Truly enjoying it becomes even easier with the luxurious accommodation offered at A Blue Point House, in the town of Vincentia.
The house, which features spectacular views of the Bay area was built by Jane and Philip Bessell-Browne with the help of a local builder.
It opened in Easter 2000, and has quickly gained a reputation as one of the best value accommodation venues available on Jervis Bay.
It is little wonder.
The house features two bedrooms upstairs with a full bathroom and a large spa bath.
Downstairs, there is a living-dining room,a fully equipped, modern kitchen, a television room, laundry, another bathroom and a large balcony with a barbecue to make the most of the views.
Painted in yellow and blues to enhance the ocean aspects, the house has proved popular during the summer months and the whale watching seasons.
Mrs Bessell-Browne said the couple had been fully involved in the construction of the house and believed it offered good value for money.
"We particularly aim at couples who are after a romantic getaway, honeymooners, anniveraries, Valentine's Day or just people who want to get a way." she said.
" We allow a maximum of two children in the house. We feel the atmosphere is relaxing and we've certainly tried to reflect this in the home." From 2004 Sorry No Children,
Close to the beaches, shops, and golf course the Bessell-Brownes believe the Border and the North East residents can fully experience the delight of A Blue Point House by making it a longer stopover, with special rates in place to accommodate those who are looking for a getaway of several days.

Vincentia Accommodation
Sydney Morning Herald Review (October 2000)
The building boom of the past 12 months has not been kind to Vincentia, a seaside retreat three hours south of Sydney where the hills overlooking Jervis Bay have been defoliated to make way for dozens of overblown brick-veneer holiday houses featuring triple garages, Corinthian colonnades and hectares of lawn. Take a tour around here and you'll pine for the days of the humble fibro shack surrounded by gum trees.
Luckily, Philip and Jane Bessell-Browne decided to buck the local suburban horreur aesthetic when they built Blue Point House on a hill at the southern end of town. They designed the two-storey house in post-Murcutt style - corrugated roof and walls, airy interiors, blue-and-yellow colour scheme to mimic sky and sand - and kept the trees it overlooks pretty much intact.
Rural seclusion is not the attraction here - the house sits cheek-by-jowl with its neighbours and its interior is designer-modern, with polished wooden floors, corrugated aluminium feature walls, a glass-topped dining table and fittings that smell freshly unpacked. But as a family weekender, it is extremely comfortable, spacious and functional.
The living room has a glass frontage that offers expansive views to Point Perpendicular and Bowen Island, the big balcony has a gas barbecue, and the main bedroom is big enough to play kick-to-kick football in. Bonus points were awarded for the tied bundles of kindling and the Father's Day Heinekens.
Locally, there's a limitless range of things to do around Vincentia - snorkelling in Jervis Bay, whale-spotting cruises, botanic gardens, bushwalks in nearby Booderee National Park, and a one-hour stroll along the Sandy Beach Trail to Hyams Beach, to name just a few. Frankly, we didn't do any of it. Instead, we took a 10-minute stroll to Greenfields Beach, a little, crescent-shaped cove which looked irresistible on the first warm day of spring - aqua water sparkling like frost and tall eucalypts throwing shade patterns over white sand. The rock formations at either end of the beach here offer enough shell collecting/crab spotting/rockpool fossicking to keep an average eight-year-old in Magic Beach mode for hours. Adults can wallow in the hallucinatory feeling that they're in the Cayman Islands.
Later, we went back to the house, broke open the complimentary Wolf Blass white and settled back to watch the stars come out. Those suburban-style mansions up the street seemed a long way away.
DISTANCE About three hours' drive from Sydney.
ACCOMMODATION Two bedrooms - one double, one twin.
FEATURES Wood burning heater, spa, barbecue, stereo, VCR, fully equipped kitchen, TV room, balcony with ocean views.
NEARBY Booderee National Park, snorkelling, scuba diving, kayaking, golf course, dolphin cruises, bushwalk, beach five-minutes' walk away.
BOOKINGS Two weeks ahead.
