Relaxed coastal comfort
We spent a wonderful five days in early September staying at KiaShamwari – “the friendly house”. It is spacious and comfortable: we lit the fan-forced fire on two cool nights, and it provided effective warmth for the house. We spent time on the front veranda relaxing, reading, talking, and enjoying the birds and views of greenery and ocean. The beach is only a short distance away, just far enough to avoid what can be a busy camping area in holiday periods. Mystery Bay is a destination rich in things to explore: a mystery from the past, unspoiled coastline, and native animals and forest areas. During our stay, we spotted two whales off the coast, and an echidna making its way across the sand. With no wi-fi or phone line to the house, we were blessedly relieved of technology (tip if you need to email or phone: a usable 4G signal is available near the pizza oven in the back garden). Eveleigh is a friendly, knowledgeable, and generous host: the bottle of wine and chocolates were a lovely touch. It’s a pleasure to give a strong recommendation to KiaShamwari and Superhost Ev.

A peaceful place to stay with our dog
The place has everything you need. Its only a small stroll to the beach, which is dog friendly and has off leash times. Has an enclosed yard for doggies too. This is our second time staying here and will stay again.

Lovely quiet home
My partner and I had a wonderful holiday here. Sitting on the porch watching the beautiful birds, walking to the stunning beach, and the best sleep in comfy beds. Our car broke down and Eveleigh our host was so kind and helpful, and the neighbours were so welcoming they even took me to town to get supplies. We didn't want to leave. We can't wait to go back. Thanks Eveleigh for being a super host.

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!

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

This has to be Australia’s best kept secret. We just felt so at home. Everything was exactly where we needed it and Eve surprised us with some delicious treats which we really enjoyed. The location to the beach was perfect and the beach and sea were pristine. We were also very lucky to have perfect weather. All in all it was exactly what we needed and we’ll be back with the children and grandchildren. Thank you Shamwari 😊

Upon arrival we were immediately captivated by the garden setting and the welcoming aspect of the home. After exploring the property we felt an overall sense of relaxation and tranquility. Our host Ev welcomed us and provided a run down of our accommodation and the surrounding area, she made us feel welcome and at home. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ev and her wonderful home, it suited us in every detail. Sally & Tom
