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.

Amazing long weekend getaway

We had an exceptional stay at KiaShamwari, and our host Eveleugh was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout our visit. The housevwas cosy and perfectly situated, just a short walk from beautiful Mystery Bay. It was equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing long weekend getaway. We particularly enjoyed the wood fire and pizza oven, which added a special touch to our stay. Highly recommend KiaShamwari for a memorable holiday experience!

A very relaxing stay

Eveleigh’s Kia Shamwari is a delightful home, really pet friendly (fully fenced and even has blocks under the fence so not even noses can get out), and a block up from the beautiful beach of Mystery Bay. We really enjoyed the proximity to the dog friendly beach and sitting on the front verandah for the ocean breezes. Thanks Eveleigh for a wonderful stay, and for all your lovely touches, including stocking the fridge with local Mystery Bay kelp cheese and Tilba milk- we really felt at home!

Perfect low key beach holiday

Kia Shamwari is the perfect location for a low key beach holiday. A 3min walk to the beach, or drive a little further for the extensive pristine beaches of the coast. We lived on and loved the verandah! And Eveleigh was a great host - we enjoyed her home grown tomatoes!

Relaxed coastal comfort

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.
