Excellent location and view for large families/friends

We had an incredible stay at The Shack at Copper Cove Marina! The location was absolutely perfect, with amazing views that made every moment feel special. The house itself was spacious, with plenty of comfortable bedrooms to accommodate our group. We especially loved the variety of fun activities available right at the house — the pool table and table tennis kept everyone entertained for hours! Whether we were relaxing or enjoying some friendly competition, the house had everything we needed for a memorable vacation. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun, relaxing getaway in a beautiful setting!

Amazing Getaway

What an awesome place to stay. We selected this property as it was large enough to accommodate our whole family who were celebrating my fathers 80th birthday. The location and view of the marina was magnificent. There was so much on offer we had no need to leave “The Shack”. Our family made use of the kayaks, dart board, pool table, table tennis table, quoits and bbq. Highly recommend this accommodation and will definitely book again.

Family fun second time around

Let’s start with the site - phenomenal. Right on the marina it is just the best. The house was well equipped with everything you would need inside - such as the huge dining suite, Sheridan sheets to the outside with a great outdoor entertaining area and 6 kayaks. The pontoon is a great fishing spot . This is our second visit and we love it. Definitely would recommend it.

Family Vacation

Our Family of 14 ranging in age from 68 to 2 years of age thoroughly enjoyed our stay at "The Shack". The house has all the essential requirements in the kitchen and the bathrooms. We found the house to be very clean and comfortable. Plenty of board games for the kids to keep themselves busy. The Pool Table and Table Tennis Table were well used by everyone. Also great to have Kayaks with life jackets available for our use. We also appreciated access to a private pontoon for easy access to our boat. Owners are friendly and great with communication. We will be booking another stay at "The Shack" very soon.

Wonderful for Couples and Children. Lovely waterfront view

We were attracted to this property for the location on the waterfront and the house was large enough to accommodate our guests and children comfortably with lots of activities to keep everyone entertained. On arrival we were extremely impressed with the size of the house and of course the waterfront view on the Marina was amazing. The pool table, table tennis, darts, children’s games and kayaks kept the guests busy for hours. The property had everything you need for a stay without having to buy extra. All you need to bring is food and drinks which was perfect, no need to bring your own bedding or towels. I was very impressed with the lawn and landscaping which was very well maintained. I also enjoyed cooking on a large bbq on the first night which was big enough to cook all the meat in one go for a large number of guests. Communication with the owner is easy and welcoming and questions are responded to promptly. Thank you for an enjoyable stay at your lovely property.

About the host

Hosted by Gaye Peters

Host profile image
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.
