Pet friendly beach holiday
We had a lovely holiday with our cat. This was a perfect location in the bush close to walks, the beach and a short drive to Bermagui, Narooma and Bodalla. Lots of wildlife to see here. The hosts were friendly and helpful.

Excellent longer term stay house
Stayed 5 nights in this delightful property. Everything has been thought of by the owners that you could possibly want for a comfortable stay in any season. Enjoyed the nod to the 'new' 1940's style clothes line! Wake and fall asleep to the birds and enjoy sitting with the visiting wallabies in the front yard. Sounds of the ocean drift up from the beach. We'll be back!

A lovely house in a lovely location
Travelling from the UK, Spotted Gum was an excellent spot to slow down and catch up with ourselves. The local beach has safer pool areas and Central Tilba was a delight

Lovely getaway home away from home
This was our second visit. Ideal for our furry friends. A short stroll to Mystery Bay beach. Very homely older style house, comfy beds, updated bathrooms. Enjoyed the rustic feel of this home away from home.

Wonderful spot!
We really enjoyed our stay at this cute house in Mystery Bay. It was very serene, with mature Gum trees all around. The beach was also great and just a short stroll away. The kitchen was well equipped, and the kids also found some games to keep them entertained.

Beautiful beach weekend
Lovely property, well maintained. Check in instructions from the owner were prompt and clear. Property had everything we needed, including toys for the kids (3yo and 5 yo) and even included extra mini toiletries, in case you had forgotten your own. Loved our visit.
