Birbells - melody of peace, tranquility & comfort
About this house rental
Located in Narooma, this charming house for $223 per night is a fantastic choice for your next trip. Note: After 9 years, we will be removing Birbells from the short term rental market with effect 1 July 2024. We thank all our renters over this time for your patronage and wish you well in the future. "Birbells" is proudly family owned and managed. We aim to provide a more personal experience for our guests by including some special extras to make you feel welcome. While you stay at our home, we want you to feel like it's your home. Awake to the tranquil and calming songs of the local bird-life and the relaxing sound of the ocean in the distance. Spend your days fishing or enjoying the wide range of water-sports on offer on the adjacent Forsters Bay, then relax over a wine or palate-cleansing ale as you watch the sun set over the Wagonga Inlet from the covered al fresco entertaining area on the upstairs balcony. If you're short of ideas on what to do during your stay, you can refer to the compendium which includes all the information you need on local "eats 'n' treats". The kids will enjoy the downstairs rumpus room featuring a large flatscreen TV, lots of board games and leather lounges and beanbags to relax in. The house is perfect for one or two families with sleeping for 4 people upstairs and 2 people downstairs. There are two queen beds upstairs and two king single beds downstairs. The queen beds are positioned in separate bedrooms and the king single beds share a large room. All bedrooms have built-in wardrobes. We supply pillows and doonas for all beds. Please bring your own linen and towels. The house features two bathrooms and two toilets - one on each level. The top bathroom includes a shower and bath, and a separate toilet. The facilities on the ground level include a shower, with toilet. If your family includes a pet, then he/she is most welcome to join you on your holiday in our house, but please keep him/her with you at all times and make sure you clean up any 'accidents', so we don't have to charge you for our cleaners to do so. Our home away from home, can be your home away from home. A chilled bottle of champagne awaits you on arrival, as our welcome to you. A selection of teas, coffee pods and hot chocolate sachets are also provided at the start of your stay. When Narooma gets busy during peak holiday periods, this quiet location remains protected from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. So if peace and quiet is your choice for a holiday, "Birbells" can deliver this. You will be spoiled for choice when it comes to stunning views - water, mountains AND bush! Leave the car behind, a variety of water sports are an easy 5-10 minute walk away! If you're a water sport enthusiast, you can leave your car at home, as many activities are an easy 5-10 minute walk away at Narooma Marina, including: stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking and paddle-boating. You can also hire a fishing boat, if you'd like to drop a line in Forsters Bay - no boat licence is required. BBQ Boats are also available for hire for a great day out on Forsters Bay. If you're bringing your own watercraft with you, the local launching ramp is a mere 100 metres away. If you love seafood, but prefer that someone else catches and cooks it for you, the local seafood restaurants and takeaways are a leisurely 5-10 minute stroll away. If the beach is more to your liking, Bar Beach is a five minute drive away, or an easy 20-30 minute walk. A final note - and we apologise for having to make this point - as we pride ourselves in providing quality family holiday accommodation, and not a party venue, we do not generally accept bookings from groups of unrelated adults. If you are a group wishing to holiday at Birbells, please make an advance enquiry with your details before booking.

We loved Narooma and Birbels was just perfect

Great house with everything you need and amazing views. Nice walk to the marina and cafes too.
Kitchen and bathroom floors were sticky and the grass needed a mow for the dogs. Someone came to mow the grass towards the end of stay which was annoying cos we couldn’t go out because the dogs couldn’t stay inside
Other than that, wonderful place to stay and would recommend to others

We had a lovely time staying at The Birbells. The views were magnificent and the house was gorgeous and catered to our every need. Absolutely spotless ! Perfect for a family with teenagers and even better that we could take our dog. Very dog friendly property with secure yard. Thank you for a wonderful time .

What can we say, this place was amazing, clean, tidy, a lot of space for the entire family to be able to commune or get away from each other to have some privacy. The view is absolutely spectacular and after having a busy weekend touring Narooma and going to The Oyster Farmers Daughter (highly recommend the oysters and cocktails), the beach, the seals, the local pub with live music, the local Sunday market, our favourite part was buying some prawns from local seafood shop, couple of beverages and sitting out on the deck enjoying the view all afternoon, relaxing with the family and it was just gorgeous. The property is close to everything, the beach, the shops, the inlet, it is a very short drive to everywhere, just perfect. Our 4 legged fur baby had a great time too, she was so comfortable and relaxed at this property. Very comfortable stay to say the very least, would happily come again and again and again. Thank you Sharon and Steve for making everything so easy.

Thank you for letting us stay at your lovely home with our pets Sharon & Steve, we had a great weekend. The views from the balcony were just beautiful and the property was incredibly clean, comfortable, well appointed, with a very secure backyard for dogs. We highly recommend this property, a beautifully created home away from home. Perfect in every way!

Birbells was fantastic, the large outdoor area overlooks Wagonga inlet, the house was clean and tidy, plenty of room for a large family with their dogs, or a group of friends looking for a weekend away.
My only criticism would be the lack of full length mirrors throughout the house, apart from that the accommodation was perfect.

Perfect.

We enjoyed our stay very much. The house has some great 70s features and is genuinely dog-friendly. The kitchen was well-equipped (though the coffee machine was broken). Spotlessly clean, with comfy beds, though I do think for the price the hosts could manage to provide linen. There weren’t any extra blankets to be found, just as the cold weather hit - the two panel heaters would not be adequate in full winter. The views are lovely, the neighbourhood is great and I’d recommend the house, with a couple of tweaks to make it a bit more homely.

Overall a great place in a quiet neighbourhood with a great view overlooking the inlet.
Cleaning probably requires a little more attention - there were a lot of items left under couches/seats within the property.
Owners were kind enough to organise linen on our behalf - we ordered for 4 adults (separate beds), but only two queen beds were made up for us when we arrived - the two single beds were left without sheets meaning that we essentially had to share beds for our 8 day stay. Looking back on it, I think it was a blessing in disguise - the upstairs has a much more pleasant and open feel than downstairs. Having the option to go up and down inside and outside the house really helped with flexibility.
Good sized backyard with plenty of little critters to keep you entertained - including lizards. Aeroguard or some kind of repellant is essential if you want to enjoy the outdoor deck - which looks out over a beautiful vantage point - from the inlet on one end to the ocean on the other.
Neighbours are quite friendly.
Short drive to the shops and city centre.

Nice comfortable house, with a few extra touches for dogs (poo bags, leashes, etc.) which was thoughtful. Owners were responsive. The area is quite hilly so definitely needed to drive everywhere, and the driveway was quite steep

My husband, two teenagers and two of their friends had a wonderful week at Birbells. Great location, fantastic views, plenty of room and very clean. The two dogs also loved it. Don't hesitate to book this property if you are visiting Narooma.

Good location, very clean and well set out for a family. Great improvements since our last visit 2 years ago - extended deck and installation of fans. Just suggest informing people that the only bedding provided are heavy doonas as a lighter blanket is required at night if the evenings get a bit cool..

We loved our stay at Sharon & Steve's property. The views from the balcony were just beautiful and the property was so clean. You won't find too many places right in the middle of narooma that represent better value for money. We hope to have the pleasure of staying again!

We had a lovely weekend. The views from the balcony are beautiful and location is great - close to Marina. The house is nice and comfortable and has all you need.
The only thing we regretted is that the fencing around the balcony is not transparent and you cannot enjoy these beautiful views while sitting in the living room.

Great property. 5 minute walk to the Marina, which I think is the highlight of Narooma.
Property is clean and comfortable and has everything you need. I would recommend this property and stay again.
The only downside is one TV, which makes it tricky if adults and kids want some separation.

As it states "Birbells - melody of peace, tranquility & comfort". A beautiful house inside and out, cosy and relaxing, and the view is just amazing. We visited on a weekend of pouring rain but staying in this place more than made up for it. We had a wonderful time, a great getaway from city life and will definitely be back. Thanks Sharon and Steve.
