Great location and backyard for the kids to play. Fully equipped kitchen and BBQ. There were however a lot of maintenance issues (e.g. bedroom doors with locks that don't work, doors getting stuck, windows with no fly screens etc) that if fixed would make this a 5 star property. With fixes, we'd visit again.

Super close to the beach. Great indoor and outdoor eating areas. Functional kitchen and great TV (should you need it). Booking and entry was smooth. Facilities were clean. All in all pretty good. We had a great time.
Even though there was only two of us we went the full Monty on Christmas Dinner.

Home away from home….

Beautiful light-filled home so close to the beach! The Beach Shack is a perfect home away from home that can comfortably accommodate 2 families and fur babies. To top it all off, the property owners are locals and were quick to respond to requests. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back!

This is a shack so works well for children and its configuration works well for extended family groups. Has been done up but not in a particularly professional way. Not particularly well equipped but very comfortable beds.

We enjoyed our stay in this pleasant spot

We enjoyed our stay at Callalla Beach Shack. The house is cute and very near the beach. And plenty big enough for our group of 11. The loft is a fun place for kids to hang out, and the separate area downstairs was good for our (older) kids too. It's true the kitchen is small, but clean & newly renovated. Thicker curtains would have been helpful in some bedrooms - we had to hang up blankets to block the light. The natural light filling the house is great in the daytime though! There were a few little dramas, but Geoff the owner was very helpful in addressing these. A good place to stay with a larger group.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 July 2020
Hi Victoria, Great to hear you enjoyed your stay! Clare & I love hanging out in the loft as well. We have had the washing machine fixed now so hopefully no more drama's, thanks for your patience. kind regards Geoff & Clare

A very thoughtful owner

This is my second review, because I had to add something important. Geoff, the owner, is incredibly thoughtful. We foolishly left some things behind - my friend left her favourite leather work shoes, and my daughter left her new ugg boots. Geoff kindly dropped them off to us in Sydney! It was very much appreciated. Victoria

Well thought accommodation for pleasant experience

This property is full of positives. Not sure where should I start form!! We spent our holiday with two other friends and their family. We were 6 adults and 3 kids and still there was plenty of space to accommodate more. Well thought, organized and convenient to suit all ages. We had loads of fun while our stay here and would recommend for revisit. If you are looking for personal space for couples, play ground for kids or have a good fun time around BBQ having get together, this property is certainly the one which ticks all the boxes. Thank you Geoff and Clare for such nice accommodation arrangements?, we will certainly recommend your property to our friends and families.

Great group house

My six girl friends from school and I had a very enjoyable long weekend away at Callala Beach Shack. The shack is set up well for a group such as ours - we all got a bed and the beds were very comfortable, and we could all park our cars out the front. Bathrooms are excellent - the showers are just lovely. There was so much to do we didn't need to use the tvs. The beach is a short walk from the house and so peaceful and serene. We had one wet day but spent that playing games and talking, drinking cups of tea and then wine when the hour was appropriate. The kitchen is well appointed and we enjoyed our meals there. We had everything we needed and a wonderful time was had by all. Thank you.
