The 'big house', a lovely beach house, the smell of salt, sea air and feel of wooden floors below your feet, the sliding glass doors lead out to the dune behind the beach. A quirky Barbie Doll in a budgie cage greeted me as I walked up the back stairs. Our Black Labrador had a great time running along the north end of Sawtell beach, the part that allows dogs but with all the ponds and fountains in the Balinese gardens at Shellies and wandering goanas and bush turkeys going past the most practible option if you bring a dog is to block the rear ground floor balcony enterance with a bogie board as although the front yard is fenced it is full of ponds so no good to keep a water loving dog there. All in all the place has a great karma and even though it is right on the beach it is at the high $$ end of holiday rentals in Sawtell that are within 'Speedo*' distance of the beach.
*'Speedo Distance' is the distance you can walk from a beach in your swimmers before you have to get changed into clothes as you are so far from surf you look like a pillock walking along a suburban street in a pair of budgie smugglers :)

It was OK
We enjoyed the uniquness of this beach house for such a short stay of 1 night, but it was well equiped and interesting. My children loved the very old bed and the piano. We didn't stay long enough to enjoy the hut out the back or use the decks/bbq, but it was all very inviting and to be able to stay with the beloved family dog was great. We will come back for longer one time hopefully soon and we will make use of the well fitted kitchen, bath etc. Soooooo close to the beach. I loved it. Thank you.

Shellies on the Beach - the Big House was perfect for my husband and I and our 4 small children. It had amble sleeping space and lots of room for the kids to run around and explore outside. The beach was just a short walk down the path from the house and totally secluded so we felt like we had our own private beach. The owners and property manager were just super to work with and made our stay really enjoyable. I would highly recommend Shellies on the Beach.

Fell in love with he house right from the moment we opened the gate and stepping stones in the pond led up to the front door!!! The house was filled with unique art and furniture and the balinese daybed was the highlight.It had all facilities we needed to share a wonderful night with our friends. This house is a gem and we will be returning for a longer stay next time.

Shellies on the Beach is located amongst the trees right beside beautiful Sawtell beach. Shops and cafes are only a 5-10 minute walk away. The house is large and definitely suited to beach holiday. We loved being able to take our pet on holiday with us.

We had a wonderful time in the big house. Its such a lovely house, filled with inspiring art work within a peaceful, bird filled garden. We loved being able to hear the waves, and walk over the dunes to the beach. The beds were really comfy too.

We loved this rustic house which has a lovely feel about it. The art work is fantastic and the beach is just beyond the sand dune.Our dog Laraby had a fantastic time. Would highly recommend it to everyone.
