Great place to stay at with a group, amazing location with heaps to do at the shack. Highly recommend and will definitely be looking to book again next year
The host was super friendly and the house was perfect for a large group with so many things to do. It was furnished with everything we needed and more.

Thank you for your lovely review Payzulla!
I’m so happy you enjoyed your stay 😃
Absolutly perfect! As a mixed group of grandparents, parents and kids - everyone enjoyed the weekend immensely. So much to keep everyone busy and enough living spaces - inside and out - that we weren’t all on top of each other. Highly recommend. Cannot fault!

We had a fabulous weekend at "The Shack". Was perfect for our family get together and we had so much to do. We did not have to go anywhere else as the property was so well set up. Excellent facilities and host which I would highly recommend. Thankyou very much for having us.

About the host
Hosted by Gaye Peters
I live in Adelaide in the north eastern suburbs with my husband and 2 of my four children.
Why they chose this property
I ( along with my husband Adam ) bought the Shack because it was my parent’s holiday home that they built in 2000 for my sisters, myself and our families to holiday in and for many years it was where we would spend most school holidays. We bought it from my father after my mother passed away and my husband, myself and all my children, now adults, still love holidaying there!
What makes this property unique
To be able to fish, crab, swim, kayak or moor your boat all from your very own pontoon in the basin of the Marina, or relax near the water and enjoy the views, or play numerous games such as 8 ball, darts, table tennis, backyard cricket, cards and board games or just socialise with friends and family, all whilst being a stone throw from beautiful North beach.
