FEEDBACK
Many thanks, we enjoyed our time at Mystery bay and found the cottage very comfortable and well equipped. We will hope to stay again some time. Regards Simon
Had a great time relaxing in and around your pretty little cottage. Went to the beach most days... and generally had good uninterrupted family fun. Thanks again for a memorable holiday and we'll certainly stay longer next time. Regards Gay
We really loved the cottage - I've never stayed anywhere so well equipped!!! It was extraordinary. Absolutely gorgeous spot... We are looking forward to many return visits! Thanks a lot, Angie
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.

Short walk to the beach. 5 - 10 minute drive to Narooma. 10 minutes from historical Tilba. Good facilities and interesting home with very spacious main bedroom and ocean breezes. Lovely outdoor decks.

We all had a great time at Didi’s cottage. Walking down to the beach, enjoying the terrasse with ocean view, relaxing in the fresh breeze. Kids had fun playing tennis table and body boarding. Great location for bike riding as well. Some great gravel routes in the nearby forests. Thanks Didi for making it a pleasant stay for us.

My group had a great stay at Didi's cottage at Mystery Bay over New Year 22/23. The house was great, the different decks great for different weather conditions and we all enjoyed a Table Tennis tournament on a rainy day in the garage.
Initially we thought a week was too long as it wasn't really beach weather but there was always the local area to be explored and both Tilba and Narooma is just a short drive away. We didn't really miss the weak phone signal, most days it was possible to get a signal on the top deck if you had to catch up on missed messages. All in all a great place I will definitely recommend.

Such a well equipped property, you cant help but feel relaxed at DiDi’s. We had a great stay

We really enjoyed our stay here. The kitchen was surprisingly well set up (sharp usable knives, a first in a coast house for me!) and the beds were super comfortable.
The only issue we had was that at night we had to shut up the front and side doors as there are no screens. This meant the house was a bit warm.
Otherwise, a very pleasant stay with a quick walk to the beach.

A nice house. Plenty of options for outdoor eating , sitting etc.
Beds very comfortable Close to the beach.

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.

DiDi's cottage is perfect get away for relaxing on the top deck with the sea breeze & stunning view out to sea, soaking in the bath & the comfy beds :))

We have made some wonderful memories at this house over the years. The ideal location to get away from it ALL. No Internet, very little mobile coverage (you will survive 😎). Wonderful wildlife including whales close to shore . Just pack your cossie and some wine. Oh and food. Everything else is there including a great selection of novels (got through three while I was there), cds, dvds, table tennis. Honed my darts skills when not on amazing walks (not another human in sight), or lazing on the top deck. Great hosts, excellent communication. What more can we say ? 😘😘

Didi’s cottage was cozy and as described. The main bedroom is particularly lovely, spacious and with ocean views.The kids loved the den with table tennis/darts. The hosts are very generous and kind - I had to make some changes to our guest lineup and visit dates following a mishap and the hosts were communicative and went above and beyond to be helpful. Thanks for having us!

Perfect beach house
Great location close to the beach and some lovely national parks. Very quiet, just what we needed for a family getaway! House was very comfortable and well equipped and the deck with ocean views was perfect for morning coffee. Di was very responsive to messages and quick to provide information. We hope to get back there for another break soon! Thanks for a great holiday!!

This property has everything you need for a comfortable holiday. It is located a stones throw from the beach and there are some great places to explore in the surrounding district from Tilba to Narooma. I would highly recommended Didis cottage for a relaxing holiday.

The Yellow House near the sea.
It was a cheery house with every thing we needed in a quiet location between Narooma and Central Tilba,The bath was a bit hard to get in and out of.I felt a grab rail would make it safer. Loved the decks.

Excellent Beach House Experience
We loved Didi’s - the quintessential beach shack with lux extras and plenty of space. Quiet location and a gorgeous stroll to the beach through spotted gums. Ocean views from deck up top and literally everything you could possibly want or need. Loved the claw foot bath and main bedroom mattress was a Dream. Perfect beach holiday. We’ll definitely be back!

Home away from home
The property is very homely with all the comforts you need and the owner is very easy to deal with. The location is ideal for refreshing coastal and bush walks. The lack of internet access makes you have a break from your phone and computer :-)

Didi’s cottage
We found Didi’s cottage to be a lovely and clean place to stay that had everything we could need. The bedrooms are huge and beds were comfy and our linen looked to be near new. The decks are wonderful and a great place to sit and relax. The only thing that wasn’t so great was the shower in the bathroom, the pressure isn’t good but you are provided with another shower in the garage that has great pressure. So was great and always very prompt with her replies to any questions I had. Overall we loved our time at the cottage and would definitely book it again in the future.

Memories
