Spotted Gum Retreat: cosy nest @ Mystery Bay
Retreat into this idyllic bushland setting nestled in the State forest that cradles Mystery Bay. *10 min walk to the beach *Escape to the decks in summer *Snuggle up to the fireplace in winter. *Watch the sun set over Gulaga mountain. * EV Charger available (contact us) *Strong wi-fi *Short drive to Narooma for essentials and picturesque Central Tilba with its boutiques, pub and cheese factory not to be missed! *Plenty of space to be on your own or gather together.
The house is a spacious 2-storey besser brick and timber home, with timber floors, and rafters with loads of character. There is one downstairs bathroom, and an external laundry off the back deck.
Master Bedroom is behind a small sitting area at the top of the stairs and the other bedroom features a double bed and 2 bunk beds. In the living area there is also a queen sofa bed.
Lots of books for holiday reading and some games and puzzles for an idyllic quiet afternoon. Plenty of parking on this large bush block.
Lots of stunning bush and beach walks to blow your cares away. The township is quite level, so ideal for riding your bike to the beach and on some of the bush trails.
A bumpy 3km drive (or uphill walk) will take you through the forest to the South of mystery bay, to 1080 beach where you will have spectacular views of the coast and meet the local wallabies at dusk. Access this via the forest road off Lamont Young Drive.

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.
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!
Was a terrific place to stay, my wife and myself travel down here at least once a year we usually stay at Narooma and we visit mystery bay but this year we decided to stay at mystery bay, found spotted gum retreat On the internet and booked our stay it was great walked to the beach every morning then went and visited other places like Dalmeny and Tilba also went walking through the national park to Poole’s beach and 1080 beach all up a great place to stay hopefully we can book it again next year as our son and his wife want to come down with us
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
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.
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.
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.
