The house was very well located being across the road from a path along the ocean and only a 10 min walk to the patrolled beach and 15 min walk to the dog friendly beach. The house was perfect for pets with timber floors and enclosed front patio and back yard. There was some traffic noise from the road and a few small maintenance issues which didn’t detract from our weeks stay. I’d recommend the area and the house.

Very comfortable and clean. Neatly set out surfer themed cottage opposite the beach. Modern bathroom. Dog friendly, which our little pooch enjoyed with no signs of the smells of previous pets. Very quiet at night with the main bedroom at the rear of the home. Having WiFi available was appreciated. Short walk down to the beach, cafe and restaurant.

Shelley Beach House old boys weekend.

We stay here a couple of times a year to catch up with old mates, have a surf and generally chill out. It really suits our needs. Close to beach, cafes, club and has a laid back beach house vibe with everything you need for a few days away. We enjoy it.

The whole house was spotless and a fantastic layout.You could do with a TV in the western bedroom.There are a couple of maint. jobs to be done but you know thatYour council doesn't like dogs on the " flatter" beaches which is disappointing.Thank you for replying to my messages so promptly, it was very much appreciated.Overall we loved staying there and the Salty Cod is a great place to buy dinner.If ever we find a reason ( or need ) to come back to that area, we will look at staying at your beach house.Have a great weekend.RegardsMartin and TanyaPS: your northern neighbour is from our area here and is very talkative
