Although it reads well in the advertising this property is poorly maintained and many thi gs simply don't work. The rangehood doesnt work at all and it was extremely greasy and dirty. The kitchen drawers were jammed shut due to swelling arising from water ingress. The microwave could not be operated due to broken controls. The bathroom was poorly maintained and the wall heater doesnt work at all. The curtain rail had come adrift at one end and no attempt had been made to repair it. The TV proved impossible to operate and the set top box continually defaulted to re-set. On the brighter side the wood heater worked well.Unfortunately, the multiple issues with this property forced us to curtail our stay after the first night to seek alternative accommodation.I would not recommend this property.

Location is unbeatable. House is as advertised, modest, but to be honest I would sleep under an old tarp to be by that beautiful river. Our landlady was friendly and easy to talk with. Given the money I would stay there longer than a fortnight.

We love Gipsy Point

Older home ,with everything needed for our 4 week fishing stay. Great outlook. Private jetty for our boat. Loved Lyns chooks wandering around and all the other wildlife. Very quiet location. Not much luck fishing this time. We love Gipsy Point and the people who share this tranquil part of the world.

A delightfully quiet experience

We loved the quietness of the b&b. The kangaroos and birds were marvelous. The very tame king parrots were a delight. The home-made bread and other breakfast supplies were very well received. The beds were very comfortable. Overall a very well appointed property. A couple of minor points. A couple of hand towels for the kitchen and bathroom would be great. Also, we had a little difficulty finding the entrance. Your description of how to find the entrance was great. However, the sign and the number 6 were vey over-grown. a couple of minutes with some secateurs would fix that.

Relaxing stay

We have enjoyed our stay at Gypsy Point. The cottage is surrounded by nature overlooking the lake. You can relax on the front patio listening to the birds for hours. The home-made bread waiting for us in the kitchen came in very handy. Thank you Lynn

Thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Even the possum antics early evening, the visiting birds, kangaroos, resident chooks and lyrebird. So many different birds including, the bellbirds singing all day. Yes I loved the wildlife. Cottage very clean and comfy. Hosts wonderful. Just perfect place to chill out. Breakfast very generous, the fresh eggs and bacon delicious! Will definitely come again.

Quaint and cosy riverside cottage

We had a thoroughly enjoyable 4 day stay at Riverbed. The location is just delightful, the river views, the birds and wildlife at your doorstep. Though the cottage is a little old fashioned, it is very clean and comfortable, and has everything you need. We lit the BBQ a couple of times, and dined on the deck, watching the visiting kangaroos. The male lyrebird paid a visit, and performed a song and dance, just for us. Only a short drive into 'Coota for supplies, plus a charming art gallery, and Lucy's restaurant for some seriously good noodles. Definitely would stay again, for the peaceful ambience, and being able to enjoy an early morning paddleboard on the river.

Perfect stay

We stayed a week at Lyn’s Riverside house. It was a tranquil spot, nestled among trees with a view of the water. We were greeted by kangaroos lazing on the lawns, and made friends with the King Parrots and rainbow lorikeets on the deck. We spotted a plethora of other native bird life (including lyrebirds), as well as goannas, possums, and even a koala. Terrific for spot to read a book and unwind. Just what we needed. Lyn was very friendly, and made check in easy. The house is basic, but clean and comfy to come back to after a day on the water or at the beach in Mallacoota. Highly recommend for those who want to unplug and unwind.

Queens birthday long weekend

How to describe it in as few as possible words? Perfect! The booking process and communication were a breeze. The location? peaceful, just sounds of birds and critters and the rain on the roof The cottage? Quaint, clean, everything you need to to stay. The bed was warm and super comfy. The log fire was warm and cosy. The view was postcard-pretty—birds on the verandah, kangaroos on the lawn. The directions? are easy to find. The place is excellent if you are a fisherman within walking distance of the river. It rained when we stayed; which made the place serene and cosy. Was perfect for catching up on reading, and laying on a sun lounge with the birds chattering away. We had no mobile reception with Optus, but that may change. We will be back.

Hear the Serenity

Drawing the curtain reveals a mob of kangaroos grazing on the front lawn sloping toward the wide and lazy Wallagaraugh river and the rising treetops beyond. All manner of birds jostle for a chance of breakfast on the balcony.
