Great traditional beach house located a couple of minutes walk from beautiful Mystery Bay beach. Clean, comfortable, spacious and very well equipped kitchen. Nice bed linen, lovely outdoor relaxation areas - front verandah and rear courtyard, plus a really wonderful and secure garden full of interest for our two small dogs to explore. Really appreciated the two bathrooms. Actually, it was all perfect for a relaxing stay (we stayed eight nights) and we are already thinking of planning another visit!

We had a wonderful short break in Mystery Bay. The house was very comfortable and close to the beach - we were lucky enough to see the humpback whales putting on a show on their way north. Eveleigh checked in on us ( via text) to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. Would definitely stay here again.
