Dog friendly
Our Labrador loved this accomodation and so did we. Really relaxing, can’t beat the location, beds were clean and comfortable and bathroom very clean also. Visiting Bagnalls Beach (about 10 minute drive) which is dog off leash 24/7 is a must. Would love to come back

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Lowe

Host profile image
Hi - we are Bryan and Mandy - we are both English migrants and dog lovers. I'm retired from the TV and film world but Mandy is still busy saving lives as a nurse! Having been deprived of sun, sand and surf growing up, we now spend our time between Sydney's Northern Beaches and Port Stephens. We first discovered Shoal Bay in 1985 and we have been visiting constantly ever since. We bought and renovated Shoal Bay Retreat because of its prime beachside location, classic style and flexible layout for guests. As dog lovers (we have a spoodle), we allow well behaved doggie guests too!

Why they chose this property

So close to Shoal Bay beach front...
