About this property

Shizunami Retreat Bermagui

Shizunami means quiet waves and just a few minutes stroll takes you to the secluded shores of Barragoot Lake home to hundreds of black swans...perfect for watching the sunset. Relax on the deck watching the mother wallabies care for their baby joeys...enjoy the surrounds of the Japanese inspired garden set amongst the bush. The property was inspired by traditional buildings in the Hokuriku region of Japan and has a genkan -a typical Japanese entrance which overlooks an interior courtyard. The interior is crisp white with large expansive windows which bring the outdoors in. Shizen meaning natural is the theme of the property and the sound of nature abounds.

Location & Things to do Located just 4 minutes on the southern side of Bermagui . Left off Strudwicks Road onto Comben Lane straight ahead till you

Shizunami Retreat relaxation
We had a great 5 days at Shizunami Retreat. This as our 3rd time staying here. It is very relaxing and very quite. The weather was good, it's good to spend time in the, then going to the beach and Blue pool in Bermagui and at Cuttagee for long walks.

Gabriela

Disliked: Amenities, communication
We booked for 8 nights with the understanding that the property is located 5min walk to the beach, has a kitchen with a refrigerator and good internet. We were disappointed to find out that Shizunami is in fact situated in an isolated location in a bush land. The only access in and out is on a rough, bumpy dirt track which is difficult for a low car. Kitchen has no hot plate or oven and only a small bar fridge which is inadequate for 8 nights stay. Also there is virtually no phone coverage and weak WiFi. We made the owner aware of the issues, but she was rude and unhelpful.

We searched property and found key for adjacent house which we now realise was probably used by owners when on site and not set up for us visitors, hence further comment may be inappropriate about state of property but we made most of opportunity and appreciated the remote location with abundance of wildlife but would have appreciated correct (North) house as it would be better prepared and better equipped (BBQ etc.) for our visit.

Didn’t want to leave!
Absolutely loved our stay. Despite the rain, we had a beautiful time in the beautiful surroundings. Puzzles, wildlife, walks, relaxing, the sky, stars and air. The aesthetic design of the house was perfect and suited our needs. Kathleen was friendly and very accomodating, we didn’t want to leave. Who knows, maybe we will be neighbours some time in the future? Highly recommend!

Serenity and seclusion
Delightful property in a secluded location, close to Bermagui. Restful, thoughtful, tasteful. Spacious rooms, comfortable furnishings. Loses half a star for limited kitchen resources (no hot plate, bar fridge only) and weak wi-fi, which is fine for a brief stay, but more of an issue with the 3-night minimum. Nevertheless we hope to be back!

Clean and peaceful!
Very happy with it. Very lucky that we didn't bring a sports sedan as I wouldn't have been comfortable bringing it up the driveway. Wifi code provided didn't work (which worked out really well for us). Loved the Maples and the Wallabies.

Peaceful location
A wonderful peaceful cottage in the bush land. Needs a bit of general and kitchen ammenities maintenance. Couldn’t get any phone coverage or guest wifi to work with given access codes. Access could prove tricky with a low car or with significant rainfall.

Tranquility galore
This was the second time we stayed at Shizunami and I hope it won't be the last. This place is so peaceful, surrounded by beautiful trees, birdlife and kangaroos, with the gentle sound of the waves a constant companion. On a clear night the stars are great too. The house is beautiful - simple, comfortable, and with some exquisite Japanese furniture. If you are after peace and quiet, surrounded by nature, you can't go wrong. It's even beautiful when it rains!

Peaceful Retreat in a Japanese garden
This is our second stay and it was again the most relaxing place to be. While the weather was less than desirable for a beach holiday, the house is itself a retreat and it’s environment even more beautiful in the rain. For those whose interest is reading, writing and drawing it is perfect- but not for those practicing to be the next master chef. A restorative stay. Highly recommended. With thanks C & Z

Tranquility
A lovely get away set amongst the trees off the beaten track not too far from Bermagui. Spacious rooms and nice and clean. Wifi was pretty disappointing- virtually no coverage in the house except outside the bathroom where limited coverage could be maintained. Also there is virtually no mobile coverage on Telstra and none on Optus. A small fridge freezer to store some food. No oven - just a Webber bbq. Somehow we didn’t realise this when we booked but managed fine. A peace filled get away. Worth a try.
