Lovely cosy house
Loved staying at Mystery Bay - Eveleigh's house is very welcoming and comfortable. A highlight is the beautiful garden and its many bird visitors including king parrots who will eat out of your hands. It was only a minute's walk to the beach which was great. Note that it is a phone/internet dead spot and there is no wifi so come prepared for that!

Cosy and clean beach house. Everything you would want. The host, Eveleigh has gone beyond the norm and added lots of little things like welcome biscuits, pantry items , flowers and more. My dog was also very welcome. Great backyard and close to the beach

Great place to getaway
Great price.Great location. Great host. The stress just melted away there. Walk to the beach, sit and read by the fire. House was spacious and clean and well supplied. My partner struggled a bit as it is a black spot for reception and internet but I didn't! Loved our stay.

The Beauty that is Mystery Bay
Outstanding property that is 50 metres walk to some of the most scenic beachs on the Australian East coast. Sunny aspect on the balcony for breakfast and a warming fire in the lounge/dining room whilst playing cards supported by a bottle of local red wine. Hot showers & a bath meant there was also some down time after exploring 1080 beach.Cottage is ideally situated 10 minutes from Narooma and Tilba. Would highly recommend
