Our little piece of Eden is a nature lover's paradise from which you can explore the beauty of Twofold Bay, the beaches and the surrounding national parks.

We can advise you on bay cruises, fishing trip and whale watching which are available from October to November.

A two minute walk takes you through our garden and a bush reserve to a beautiful beach. The beach is ideal for children or those who like to swim or snorkel without big waves.

At Gibsons, the choice is yours – privacy or pampering.

Rooms:

The self contained apartment is the downstairs section of our home. It is close enough to the water for you to hear the waves lapping on the beach.

The apartment features an open plan main area with lounge, kitchenette and dining area. There is a separate bedroom with queen bed, plus additional singles in the lounge.

The apartment opens into the garden, which descends to the bush reserve through which one takes a very short down hill walk to the most lovely quiet beach.

Laundry and barbecue facilities are available.

About Eden:

Eden is located at the southern gateway to the magnificent Sapphire Coast of Australia.

Golden sandy beaches, crystal clear water, forests, parklands and rugged yet gentle beauty is what Eden is famous for.

Every year, whales feed in the waters near Eden as they migrate. In the past, whaling was prevalent. Killer whales were used to assist in the herding of the whales. This history is recorded at the Eden Killer Whale Museum and is well worth the visit.

Old Tom was the last of the herding killer whales of Eden. His skeleton is an impressive exhibit to see.

Eden definitely has a rich nautical history. This connection to the sea continues today with all of the fishing opportunities and fascinating dive wrecks to explore.

You can watch trawlers at Snug Cove unload their catch. In turn, you can enjoy fresh seafood dishes at one of the many restaurants at the wharf.

Stunning views of Twofold Bay and Mt. Imlay are seen from Lookout Point, Rotary Park and Seamens Memorial Wall. These lookout points are found just up the hill from Eden Wharf. There is a picnic area, toilets, and playground.

There are also plenty of beaches to choose from. Aslings is used for surfing and its rock pools. Meanwhile, Corcora beach is a place where families can have fun together. Snug Cove is popular for its caves.

From Eden, you can organize a charter for diving from Merimbula to Green Cape. You can also organize fishing trips. Cruise boats provide the opportunity to discover Twofold Bay. Dolphins, seals and whales are often seen.

Boyd's Tower, located at the southern end Twofold Bay, is a massive sandstone tower. The tower was built by Benjamin Boyd who was a 19th century entrepreneur. Boyd was an important person in the early development of the local area.

Boyd had hopes of establishing his empire in this region. As a result, he wanted to build a lighthouse tower at the southern end of Twofold Bay. Boyd's Tower now makes a great lookout which was also used in the past by whalers.

Wonboyn Lake:

Wonboyn Lake is located only 30 kilometers south of Eden. It is surrounded by pristine forests, unspoilt beaches and abundant animal and bird life.
