Description
Relax, Unwind, Discover the STONE COTTAGE
Giba Gunyah means "Stone Shelter" and the original cottage at Giba Gunyah is a fairy tale cottage built originally out of timber from the property and large boulders from the river. The cottage, nestled into the slopes of the misty blue ridges of the South East Forests National Park sits high on the bushy hill overlooking lush farming paddocks and the Bemboka River. Sited in a shady cottage style garden, the cottage remains pleasantly cool during the summer months and in winter is made snug with a cosy log fire.
The cottage is pet friendly and pets can roam the large shady gardens, enjoy the walking trails and rocky river - a perfect restful retreat or a romantic hideaway for couples, families and doggy holidays. Spectacular panoramic views of the Bega Valley, with a variety of birdlife, echidnas, platypus, wombats and farm animals.
Pets welcome , soft fluffy towels, luxury linen, cozy wood fires, disabled access, freshly baked bread on arrival, starter breakfast provisions, cottages spotlessly clean, budget priced, special rates for families.
Bega, Sapphire Coast, Wilderness Coast
Giba Gunyah is a mixture of cleared paddocks and natural bushland to be explored. There are fire trails and bush walks that continue along the mountain ridge to Bemboka Ridge one way and to the Walls in the other direction. Native flora and fauna are in abundance. The elusive lyrebird, lace monitors, wombats, bower birds building nests, echidnas and of course a variety of parrots and other birds.
At the front of the property is the Bemboka River with a large swimming hole and waterfall to explore. Take a walk along the road to Happy Valley and enjoy the beauty and peace of the local countryside with many opportunities for photographs. At night you can go spotlighting and see owls, wombats and possums or just soak up the beauty of the night sky.
