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.
