From the moment we stepped into Dolphin Cottage we knew we were somewhere special. Complete silence other than the sound of the nearby ducks. The views are magnificent.

Dolphin Cottage in Tilba Tilba is a quiet, pastoral mountain accommodation. The Dolphin Cottage I stayed in is a place that advocates digital detox and nature-friendliness among the accommodations run by Kathryn. If you want to have a peaceful stay with those who travel with nature, you will be very satisfied. Kids friendly! Ducks and chickens also welcome children. Due to the surrounding location, flies may fly to visitors, but this is possible considering the surrounding environment.

The house is very dilapidated and in very poor condition.Where the doors and windows are broken, mosquitoes fly in.There were bugs all over the bed that would bite, and I couldn't sleep at night.

We only stayed one night, but this would have been the perfect place to unwind for a few days. Very peaceful, and a beautiful outlook across the valley with an amazing variety of different birds at all hours of the day.

We took our small well trained puppy for a road trip to Tilba Tilba and needed a dog friendly place to stay for a few days and were lucky enough to find this great location as the small backyard was fenced really well and we could safely let our little puppy run around. It was a really great stay.

Lovely cozy cottage with ample amenities, and the heater worked great (we were here in the thick of winter). Lots of cows and chickens and a few horses at our backyard. With no light pollution in the surroundings, we were able to see the entire milky way and it was mesmerising. The place was a little hard to get to because we reached after dark and it was pitch black, but we figured it out eventually. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay!

Welcome to Tilba Tilba Thank you Kathryn for providing such an amazing location to stay. Your stunning property and attention to detail throughout really impressed. The location is so private and really takes you away from the everyday grind. Peaceful and so beautiful. Tranquil and so inviting. Wow........

Such a beautiful location and perfect for a holiday with our dogs. We loved the Dolphin cottage with its glorious outdoor bath and the view from the veranda is breathtaking. Waking to the sound of cows and ducks was simply delightful. Not having wifi meant we played games, read and talked at night (and bathed under the stars!). Everyone we met in Tilba Tilba were kind and helpful- a truly special place to visit. Thank you!

We only had 1 night to stay but would have been happy to stay longer if we had the time. The outdoor bath and mountain views were magnificent - I just wish you could see the mountains from the outdoor bath! We didn't really make use of the kitchen but it seemed to be all well set up for actual cooking, not just heating up.

The Dolphin cottage was lovely, with a beautiful view. A hot outdoor bath was a big surprise and such a nice idea. We liked the separate laundry/bathroom for the dog to sleep and yard. Kitchen had everything and plenty of linen. I wish we could have stayed longer. The gas heater was a bit hard to use and not child-friendly so the cottage would suit all travellers without small children.

Kathryn’s cottage in Tilba Tilba is an amazing place to stay when you want to go escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It’s quiet and peaceful with beautiful surroundings. The cottage is on a farm so there’s lots of animals around to greet as you take a walk around. Would definitely visit again.

Location and gardens were spectacular. As promised, cottage and yard was super private. Close to Central Tilba, nearby beaches and Narooma not far. Very clean space. Kitchen and amenities were pretty standard, nothing fancy, plus couch and bed were quite uncomfortable. But outdoor bath was nice and there were plenty of nice towels, bedding and linen available.

what a beautiful spot! it was close to central tilba and Narooma. Perfect place for my dog stay with us as it has under cover patio and enough grass area. The outdoor shower was great as well.

Dolphin Cottage is delightful, spotless, comfortable and very relaxing. It had everything you need for a blissful holiday. The view from the verandah was just beautiful and also quite magical. You could sit out there all day and marvel at the beauty surrounding you. Also loved the farm animals and the opportunity for hiking. You are also only a five minute drive from the charming Central Tilba village with its cafes, shops and the dairy. Kathryn was very warm, friendly and helpful and a great communicator. Highly recommend Dolphin Cottage! *****

Mountain View Farm is in a stunning location and Dolphin Cottage is cosy and homely. It could do with a little maintenance but is comfortable nonetheless and the fact it hasn’t been modernised is arguably part of its charm. The forced “digital detox” may not be everyone’s cup of tea once the novelty wears off. But overall it is ideal as a place to truly escape; Tilba Tilba is a delightful hamlet.

I have found my bliss, a true peace of heaven, where Kathryn and her gorgeous farm at the base of Guluga was exactly what I needed to restore and reenergise. The outdoor bath was pure magic and the balcony overlooking the Guluga, in the mist, the rain, the rising and setting sun, I was blessed by having a wifi free in paradise and can’t wait to return. Blessings and gratitude Elizabeth ❤️

The sofa and bed are so uncomfortable. Barely got through a movie. Hardly slept. Every thing else was amazing. Location, view, tranquillity and cleanliness was perfect. The horses, cows, ducks and tranquil running stream were a nice touch. Be sure to take an apple or two the horses love them. Positives out weigh the negatives. We would stay again when back in Tilba Tilba.

Dolphin cottage is an oasis of peace, surrounded by nature, conveniently located a short walk from a gorgeous little cafe/creperie! Don't come with a to do list, unless that list is to just sit, and be. We sat and read on the verandah and enjoyed our morning coffees with the ducks and horses and the sound of the creek. An absolute must if you are needing some disconnected time. The outdoor bath is a cute bonus too! I am torn between telling everyone I know to go, or just coming back myself! Thankyou Kathryn for being such an accommodating host, and for allowing us to share in your beautiful space.

We were very privileged to have spent a couple of days in this beautiful corner of the world. Kathryn's farm is well located in Tilba Tilba and very easy to find with her clear instructions. The cottage has stunning views overlooking the hills and the cattle field. The dogs also had a great time visiting the resident cows and horses. The cottage is otherwise clean, private and comfortable. Kathryn certainly has put a lot of effort in making sure that the guests would have all the necessities. Thank you Kathryn for having us!

Cosy country cottage within a beautiful town!! My friend and I really enjoyed our stay with Kathryn. Waking up every morning to a beautiful view outside was so refreshing. There is also a little stream running through at the back which you can hear that was very calming. The animals were very adorable, and Romeo was thee sweetest horse! 😍 The people in the town were very kind and friendly. There is also a very cute, authentic, French cafe to the left before you turn into the cottage. Definitely will be coming back here to have another stay!

The views from this place are amazing! My husband and I had such a peaceful weekend amongst the rolling hills and sounds of nature. There are a few things that could be improved in this older cabin for a more comfortable stay, but really the best part is the location and view. Sadly we weren't able to fully enjoy the outdoor bath as the hot water kept running out. The host did get a plumber in to check it out, but as it's an older system there wasn't much that could be done. Hopefully it gets replaced in future so we can come back as I'd definitely love to give this place another go or maybe try glamping next time.

We stayed for two nights & it was absolutely idyllic. Perfect yard for our puppy & much welcome digital detox. Gorgeous views & close to everything but far enough away to feel secluded. Kathryn is a welcoming & responsive host. We arrived late & the cabin was a little bit tricky to find in the dark but it all worked out. Would stay again!

Jacob

Perfect location for a country and coastal getaway. Going to sleep listening to the creek run and the sound of the ducks was very peaceful and relaxing. The candles were a nice touch and the outdoor bath was welcomed. Whilst it is perfect for a digital detox, if needed, was able to get Optus reception on the veranda out the back. The washing machine was handy.

We were looking for a peaceful comfortable and welcoming place to stay to wind down after 12 months of work related COVID-19 life changes and boy did the Dolphin Cottage fit the bill.

The view 😱 We wanted something special, private and mosy importantly a good view for our weekend away. It was spectacular! Be warned there is no internet reception inside the cottage, but that was exactly the type of privacy and stay we were looking for. :) fear not, you can access it from the property elsewhere just not inside. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with anything you might need to cook for yourself. Highly recommended! Thanks Kathryn!

This place is great value, unpretentious and perfect to unwind for few days. Great position too. Tilba central is a lovely little town, easy to spend a few hours wandering around. The coast is rugged and wild but perfect to escape from busy Sydney life! I have honestly never seen so many stars in the sky as you can from the deck here. Certainly hope to escape to here again 👍🏽

Amazing place, can highly recommend. The place is just so peaceful and tranquil, where you can just relax and find the harmony with nature around. The view to the mountain and hills seems to be out of this world. The cottage has everything so you just feel as staying in and enjoying the view and sunset. The location is also great, just a short trip to Central Tilba, different beaches, Narooma and Bermagui. The place is very clean, and super safe for pets as it has secured fence/net around it. Checking-in was really easy and Kathryn is very friendly and nice. We spent 3 night there and I was really sad to leave, would like to stay the way longer. Hope to be back one day.

Dolphin Cottage offers the perfect retreat to reset and connect with nature. We knew based on the photos the surroundings would be picturesque, but the stunning views exceeded our expectations. The cottage is extremely cosy and self-sustained, making it ideal for dining in and soaking up the breathtaking scenery from the balcony. The farm also boats numerous animals, including geese, chickens, horses, and cows, which can be observed grazing as you stroll through the property. We absolutely loved this place, and would highly recommend it to others.

Kathryn’s place is located on the most beautiful property in Tilba with amazing views of the mountain. The cottage has everything you need, including a full kitchen and of course the outdoor bath which is very luxurious. Highly recommend the cottage for a relaxing weekend away!

A cute little cabin with an outstanding view. Secure yard for our dog and lovely cabin with seperate bedroom, living area, and spacious bathroom and laundry. While most of the accommodation on the farm seemed full, the topography means the cabin feels quiet and secluded. The walk out the back up the mountain is well worthwhile and the nearby cafe La Galette is excellent.

Mountain View Farm is a beautiful place to stay. The views of Gulaga are spectacular and the farm itself is lovely. Our five year old loved the chooks, ducks and horses. Our cottage was cosy and comfortable--perfect for our stay.

Fantastic place to escape the hustle and bustle of work. Sit back and enjoy the quiet, walk the countryside or explore the nearby towns (particularly Tilba which has some quirky shops and great food). This is also a great place to tech detox (limited wifi in the cabin) so make the most of your playlist or books you’ve been meaning to catch up on (if you forget to bring some there are a few in the cabin to keep you busy). A perfect romantic getaway or nice place to take the family.

Absolute bliss! This cottage is absolutely perfect for a holiday away, the view is spectacular - overlooking rolling green hills, cows and a gorgeous creek. The cottage is perfectly set up - with everything you need. Lots of utensils and perfectly equipped kitchen, spacious laundry and bathroom, great bedroom and lounge area all with stunning views of the property. It's super close to the town of Tilba Tilba - so great if you want to explore the local town and around 20 minutes from the beach at Narooma. The home is extremely secure and perfect for pets, we took our new puppy Oscar with him - and felt completely comfortable leaving him in the enclosed fenced yard - heaps of room for him to explore and play too! Additionally, Kathryn and her beautiful family made us, and our new puppy Oscar feel so welcome. We cannot wait to come back here - highly recommended.

The views from the verandah at Dolphin Cottage stole the show, just spectacular! The cottage is charming in it’s simplicity. It has all the basics you need for a comfortable stay. Kathryn and her family were great hosts, super friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for either doing nothing or getting out and exploring the beautiful local area. Look forward to returning!

The cottage is beautiful! The fire pit and bathtub in the back garden are a beautiful touch. It’s lovely and secluded but still close enough to Tilba centre, Narooma and Bermagui. Kathryn was a great host.

Kathryn is a great host. Mountain View cottage is comfortable, clean, and tidy, surrounded by nice gardens and ducks and chickens. For us, it offers time away from it all, off-line, in the country-side. A bonus is spectacular views of Gulaga and easy access to the walk to the summit.

If you are looking for a quite, romantic weekend getaway; this is the place to stay! Such a beautiful location, perched on top of a spectacular view of the surrounding hills and countryside. The outdoor bath and shower is lovely, especially at night making for the perfect end to a day, under the stars with the camp fire going. Kathryn and her family are especially kind and warm. She is the perfect host with lots of tips and great chat! This really is a special little place with lots to do in the surrounding areas of Tilba and Narooma. It completely exceeded our expectations! ❤️

It was our first time to Tilba and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Kathryn’s place. The view was just stunning. It’s located along the Guluga walking track with the famous La Galette creperie, Tilba Historic Town and the Dromedary Hotel close by. The cottage is really clean and the outdoor bath/shower and the fireplaces added a special touch. We were glad we could book this place as it’s a rare find.

Photos don’t remotely do this place justice. The views are just stunning and the cottage is charming. Loved the outdoor bath! The property may be a working farm but at least one family member is a very talented and committed gardener and the grounds are just beautiful. If you love tranquility only interrupted by the sounds of birds, cows, crickets and frogs this place is for you. I wanted to move in permanently and will definitely be back.

The Dolphin cottage is such a beautiful, serene cabin. I was absolutely blown away by the view and although I missed the “no wifi” in the listing, it was a complete blessing!! We had such an amazing, peaceful, relaxing evening. The flowers were the perfect touch. Would not hesitate to stay here again or recommend to other travellers.

A wonderful place to stay, great views, cottage was just what we wanted, comfortable, clean and dinners on the verandah overlooking the valley and listening to the cows and wild life was very relaxing. Kathryn was a great host, ensured we had everything and keep us informed on the situation with the fires. Location was central, able to go an explore other towns and local spots.

We spent a wonderful two weeks at Mountain View Farm. The location is beautiful set amongst the rolling hills and waking up each morning to Mt Gulaga bathed in red light was a highlight. The cottage is warm and comfortable and equiped with the basic necessities for our stay. For our longer stay the washing machine was a bonus! The balcony was great for a late afternoon relax. Kathryn is an excellent host,very warm and easy to communicate with. She provided us with great tips for the best places to walk. We used the cottage as a base to explore all the beautiful coastal walks close by. Mystery Bay is a must! We enjoyed our occasional chats with young Marcus and visits from Sandy the dog but the cottage offered perfect privacy for a quiet relaxing holiday. If you are looking for an IT , tv detox Dolphin cottage is ideal although reception is very close by if needed and there are plenty of DVDs We will certainly be returning to the farm in the future.

My wife and I spent a couple of days at Kathryn’s cottage and it was so nice. Amazing location, beautiful views and nice areas near the farm to wander around. The short drive to Mystery Bay was perfect for the dog to burn off some energy. Check out the winery down the road as well! Appreciated all the help we got from Kathryn’s super friendly assistant too 😊

The farm is quiet, with stunning views over the hills and fields, and the cottage equipped with everything needed. There is so much to explore in the surrounding towns, from the beautiful French cafe at the end of the drive, to the varied views of the Pacific Ocean and rivers and lakes. No TV reception, take some DVDs although Kathryn has a good range there, and enjoy being off line for a while! We took our elderly dog along and she just had so much fun walking around with us, it really is an exceptional place.

Spectacular part of the south coast on Yuin country. Cottage is fairly basic but has everything you could need (unless you're after a TV!); and the hosts had nice attention to detail. Great location to explore the area, and being based on the farm makes you instantly slow down. Highly recommend. A treat for the soul.

This was the second weekend in a row that I stayed in this cottage on a beautiful old dairy farm, amongst the greenest rolling hills, at the bottom of a magestic mountain. The cottage is super clean, comfortable and cosy with a gobsmacking view. Kathryn is the best host. I will return again!

This little slice of gobsmacking beauty is nothing less than unique, peaceful, majestic and serene. Kathryn is a pocket rocket superstar host who greets you with the biggest smile. She provides local tips and a space that is private, comfortable and loaded with everything you’ll need. I had an OMG moment when I stood on the verandah. Bring your best camera along with you but beware you wont be able to fully capture this view in a picture. Enjoy the moment before you look through the lense and click. Thank you so much Kathryn! See you again soon. : )

The location is perfect, right near the base of the mountains and along a walking track that can take you up to the top of one of them. The primary sounds you'll hear are of the various birds, ducks, chickens, horses, and cows. It's in a perfect spot for relaxing and absorbing nature. As mentioned in the description, mobile reception is mostly not there, so it's a great way to cut out the phone. It's a quick jump back onto the highway to see other places nearby. Central Tilba, just down the road, is also a beautiful place to visit. It's 10ish minutes from some great beaches as well. For me the big draw was the mountains and forest though, and they were amazing. The Dolphin Cottage is a great small cottage that worked perfectly for me and my dog (greyhound). The yard was enclosed so my dog could go out the back, but often I'd let her out the front where there is heaps of room to run around and sniff and not get in anyone's way. The views you get, particularly out the back, are breathtaking. The cottage is nearby, but not next to, anything else, and is very private. Overall this trip was amazing, and I can't wait to come back and visit again for longer. I highly recommend this place!

My husband and I spent our honeymoon here. Could not have asked for a more picturesque and peaceful place! Kathryn was a fantastic host who spoilt us on arrival. The cottage had everything we needed. We loved watching and listening to the ducks and cows on our verandah. The view is breathtaking and you will loose hours just taking in the mountain and the rolling green hills. If you're looking for a great escape and need to recharge your batteries, this is the place for you!

Dolphin cottage was the best country holiday we have ever had. it's at one end of Tilba Tilba ( which is a tiny town) and is surrounded by lush green rolling hills then Gulaga (mt dromedary). we went in autumn and I expected Tilba Tilba to be a bit dry but it was green as ever and breathtaking. it is also a really short drive to the beach. Kathryns place was a beautiful small cottage, it was super clean. I woke up in bed each morning looking out the window at the mountain with the sound of a little creek gurgling nearby. I would recommend anyone wanting a relaxing change to visit, the photos don't do it justice you have to see it to believe it!

Kathryn's place is absolutely stunning, we could have stayed for a month! The property is gorgeous and the cottage is perfect- you can see Gulaga mountain from almost every room. The cottage is bright and airy with lovely stylish touches and a book with the history of Tilba which is a must read. We are already planning an extended stay at Dolphin Cottage in the future :)
