Fantastic location, 50m from beach. Ideal beach shack for a relaxed getaway with 2 families. Kids loved the pool table and treehouse, great outdoor spaces and room for everyone to unwind. Highly recommend and would stay again.
Couldn’t fault the property and owner at all. Perfect for a beach holiday and great entertaining place for all ages. Amazing location! And whenever communication was needed the owner was very fast and efficient.
We had such a great time during our stay at the beach shack. Perfect location, literally a 2 min walk to the beach. The kids had a blast.
The house was perfect for 2 families (2 parents, 2 kids). Everything was well stocked, and everything we needed was there (including heaps of boardgames to keep the kids entertained on rainy days)
A beautiful house in a great location. James was an amazing host and great communicator. We had everything we needed for an excellent week with extended family!
Location was fantastic, so easy with young kids to just walk across the road to beach. Fabulous beach sandy and within walking distance rock pools. House fully equipped for a holiday, we had a lovely stay just too short. Thanks
House was well fitted out, clean and excellent location. Walk your dog through the dunes and you are at the beach. Owner easy to deal with and immediately responsive. Would definitely recommend.
Great layout with lots of places to relax for the whole family. Only a clamber over the dunes to the beach and a short drive or nice walk into town. Loved that our dogs could come on holidays with us too!
Great location right behind the dunes that hides the wonderful surf beach just a few bare footsteps away. Well appointed and well laid out house and friendly owner - and great to allow dogs. Would definitely use again.
Very comfortable property' ideally suited for our family. Pool table got a large workout with two teenage boys. Walking distance to beach. Short drive into town.

Great property
What a pleasure it was to stay here, 6 adults, plenty of room for all. The layout of the house was perfect. Pool table was a great bonus. Surf beach just across the road. Very quiet area. House was very clean and had everything we needed.
I would definitely recommend this property to larger groups.
Thank you very much.

Great holiday house for family
We had two families staying for the weekend and this place is very well planned to suit just that. No one was in each other's way and we all congregated for meals in the centre of the house. The kids had a ball with plenty of space for hide and seek. The beach is so close with access literally just across the road. Only a few meters of bush before stepping onto the beautiful surf beach! Will definitely be back in the summer months. Highly recommend.
