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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Festival time at Tilba Valley Winery Ale House.
The cottage was spotlessly clean , cosy, comfortable , everything you needed was provided, short walk to the beautiful mystery bay beach and very short drive to Tilba for the great Southern nights Festival. We had an awesome weekend we highly recommend the location and property. We will definitely be back to visit and will do the MBK mystery bay kelp Tour next time. . Thank you.

Our stay in Mystery Bay
We had a wonderful stay at Shamwari. Conveniently located with a short walk to the beach. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting to get away for a quiet relaxing break. There is no wifi and there is limited phone reception which is great for those wishing to unplug.
Our host, Ev was very responsive to requests and provided extra assistance when required (during a short power outage in the area).
The house has a lovely unique style which was perfect for our stay.

Mystery Bay hideaway
Hidden amongst the frangipani lies a quiet cottage within a stones throw of the lovely Mystery Bay Beach. Eve has thought of all the little comforts with eco friendly products to make your stay enjoyable. A well equipped kitchen and if your adventuresome a fantastic pizza oven outdoors which works beautifully(Eve will assist with wood etc).
As suggested to Eve some ceiling fans for the bedrooms would be a good addition .Eve is a wonderful host nothing is a bother.

Peaceful retreat
We greatly enjoyed our stay at “KiaShamwari”, a delightful cottage a few minutes away from the pretty beach and headlands of Mystery Bay. On a couple of overcast/cool days during our stay we visited nearby Narooma and Central Tilba.
Eveleigh proved to be an excellent host from pre-visit ( promptly answering any questions/emails we sent), to the warm welcome on the evening of our arrival and again on the evening before departure. Eveleigh is a warm and friendly person who gives a high priority to the needs and comfort of her guests.
If you after a peaceful and relaxing holiday, set amidst lovely coastal scenery and national park, KiaShamwari at Mystery Bay fits the bill.

Lovely stay in a beautiful spot
We had a really lovely stay here (despite lots of wet weather). Ev was a wonderful host, great communication before and during the stay. Lots of thoughtful touches like milk and biscuits, handwritten notes on the area, wood, and birdseed to feed resident rosellas made our stay even better. Shamwari is in a great spot, close to beaches and walks - perfect place to switch off. Would love to stay for longer next time.
