The Mystery Bay Cottages are a hidden gem situated on a beautiful property, 5 minutes from gorgeous coastal beaches and close to nearby towns like Narooma. The property is well maintained, picturesque, quiet and relaxing and a great place to unwind or spend time with the family in one of their lovely accommodation options, complete with beautiful views and easy access to beaches and beautiful walks. Has an option of Glamping as well with outdoor dining experiences. The property has a lovely games room and accessibility to movies, books and everything to unwind and relax whilst on the property. The property is also perfectly located for trips to a number of nearby towns which have lovely local businesses, cafes and restaurants to visit. Laurence and Kai are wonderful hosts who ensure that you get the most out of your stay. They are accommodating, friendly, fun and passionate about the property, area and community. Highly recommended.

We stayed two nights in a two bedroom cottage (number 5) The cottage was fairly basic but clean and comfortable and in a great location. You can't see the ocean from the cottages but you can certainly hear it and the beach is just a short walk away. (Great spot to watch the sun rise.) There is plenty of wildlife around - kangaroos and wallabies grazing nearby and birds of all shapes, sizes and colours visiting the verandah (bird seed provided) or just flying by. We went for walks along the nearby tracks and saw plenty of wildlife but we also picked up a tick or two so be sure to pack the strong spray. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a family meal and laundry facilities are also available. The booking process was simple and friendly and the host got in touch with me on the day to let me know where to find the key. The cottages are just a short drive away from Narooma, Tilba and Bermagui and there are plenty of beaches, beautiful waterways and bushland nearby.

Lovely quiet location, but not too far from Narooma to grab provisions for your stay. The cabin we stayed in was very comfortable and well appointed. The little touches were great - even a jar of bird seed to feed the morning chorus. Short walk to Billy’s Beach - our visit was during winter, but can imagine this would be a great summer beach for swimming and exploring the rock pools. Our hosts were very helpful and welcoming. We’ll be back.

We have stayed here pretty much annually for 15 years. Great with young kids but now just as 2 oldies. Close to nature. Well designed and maintained cottages. Very well managed by delightful Mel. We will return in June. Very fairly priced for a quality stay. All the better now that Merivale has taken over 4 restaurants / pubs.

Mystery Bay does not disappoint. We stayed in the glamping tents for three nights. The camp set up has everything you need to make the stay enjoyable - fully equipped kitchen, plunger coffee, hot showers, eco toilets, comfortable bed and unique style tent. The camp ground was spacious and well kept. Ideal if you like camping but don’t have or want to invest in all the goods needed. Nice to be in nature out if the city. Hosts were very helpful and friendly. The property is a breathtaking mix between nature and ocean. Bird life is abundant, less than 5 minute walk to Billy’s Beach and close to Mystery Bay beach. Billy’s Beach is fantastic for shell collecting. The property has an on-site games room and tennis court. If you bring all your food, you really have no need to leave. The only improvement for the glamping would be to have options for bigger families to glamp, if possible, as the tents are set up for two pax only. The property is ideally situated within easy reach of Tilba, Narooma and Bermagui. All have abundant dining and cafe options. Will be back again.
