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!

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!

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!

Everything about Eveleigh’s cottage is great, the size , the amenities for everything involved in a beachside holiday and the closeness to the beach is brilliant.
