The Cottage
The main bedroom is extra large with a queen bed, seats and a coffee table. The second bedroom has a queen bed and is furnished in a retro style with the third bedroom having two single beds and a toy box.
The open plan living spaces comprise: a cosy lounge area with TV, DVD player and DVD's for your enjoyment. It opens onto the front verandah via French doors; a dining area with a stereo and bookshelf to keep you entertained. it opens onto the central deck via French doors; and a split level galley kitchen with gas stove, a dishwasher, microwave, toaster, and jug.
The fully-tiled bathroom has a toilet, vanity, rustic claw-foot bath with shower, and a heated towel rack. There is a spare shower in the garage for those post swim rinses and a rustic outdoor dunny for emergency use.
The garage has: a small laundry with a washing machine and dryer; a shower for a quick rinse off; and a table-tennis table.
The front deck is partly under cover so you may unwind in the shade or choose to take in the ocean views. The central deck has an outdoor table and chairs and an outside power point for the electric barbecue which is stored in the laundry. From the central deck, stairs lead up to the very large and panoramic top deck where you may choose to relax and make the most of the picturesque and sunny aspect.
SORRY, NO PETS as we are too close to the National Park and we have no secure boundary fencing. This allows native animals to access the yard such as kangaroos and bandicoots.

A lovely stay in Mystery Bay. Great location within walking distance to the beach. Older style house but with lots of charm and equipped with everything you need.

Thanks for staying with us and enjoying our charming cottage and the nearby pristine beaches.
Neat & basic house in an amazing location, was great for 2 couples with a child each spending most our day on one of the many beaches in a short walk/drive or in the surrounding towns.

Thanks Liam. It is quiet there and the classic coastal cottage is just like yesteryear. A great place to unwind. Happy you got to enjoy the beautiful beaches too.
Mystery Bay is the perfect place to relax away from the intensity of the big cities. A few minutes walking distance from the beach, with the sound of the waves...

Fabulous review. So glad you enjoyed staying in our holiday home and loved the wonders of Mystery Bay. Thanks for staying.
Large patio and veranda means plenty outdoor seating in the shade/ out of the rain with lovely sea views from the upper deck.
The boys loved the table tennis.

So pleased to have shared our cottage with you all. Mystery Bay is a great place to explore. We look forward to you visiting again.
This was a lovely place to stay. The location was great and we particularly loved sitting on the upper deck for meals and watching and listening to the ocean.
One thing to note is that there is no wifi at the location so you will need to go into town to use the wifi at the library if you need it.

Happy you loved the place. Yes, no Wifi for a digital detox as even the phone coverage favours a text over a call. Glad you found the library in Narooma and several cafes in town have free Wifi. Happy that the serenity and ocean magic made up for it.
Didi's Cottage is now our preferred abode for beautiful Mystery Bay. My 4 year old grandson says he loves it and it is our second home......
