Perfection

The Shack is exactly what I was looking for, on the water, dog friendly and close to facilities. It was quiet and serene, perfect for some me time with a glass of wine, a book and a cheese board. The best hot shower, great facilities and a view to die for! I can’t wait to go back.

Excellent spot!

Great location with a real beach shack vibe. Beds comfortable, fully equipped kitchen. Many hours spent unwinding on the deck & on the lounge in the north-facing sun room. Would love to return!

Location location

The Shack was as we expected a renovated shack very well equipped with a location right on the water. Accessibility was easy Beds and bed linen were clean and comfortable but general cleaning could have been better particularly bathroom floor area but we enjoyed our stay there.

Not too impressed

Advertising was very misleading Say sleeps 8, but no allowances for teenagers to have privacy. Well equipped and close to all amenities. Bit miffed got charged extra 2 people when only 5 ended up staykng due to room configuration.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay

As soon as you walk through the front door the ocean view takes your breath away. To be able to fish straight from your deck is priceless. The house has everything you need with spaces for the family to have their own areas to relax. Wonderful location to shops and the Jetty. Perfect!!!!
