Great location

This property had everything we needed for our stay. It was well appointed and had a peaceful outlook over a park. Having two living areas gave everyone a place to relax. The verandah was a great place for afternoon drinks. It was just a short walk to several beautiful beaches, cafes and restaurants.

We enjoyed our stay at Shoal Bay very much. The area is just beautiful. Our host Michelle and Sam were very helpful in the lead up to the trip and checking in and getting keys was easy. The house is a great little beach house and well appointed with separate accommodation upstairs and downstairs. Would recommend the place.

Excellent place to stay, with everything you could need. Felt so fresh and new. Sitting on the balcony looking at the birds in the park was v relaxing. Outdoor staircase between the 2 levels might not be for everyone but we were fine with it.
