The amenities are truly next level! This is hands down the best house we have ever stayed in. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — fresh flowers, fresh baked bread, Weet-Bix, marshmallows, and homemade jam from her own fruit garden were such thoughtful touches.The house was perfectly set up for a beach stay with all the beach toys and towels provided, and the beds were incredibly comfortable with pillow toppers. She even left the Christmas decorations up, a bottle of champagne on arrival, and an amazing Christmas wheel with cheeses and nuts. Every detail was considered — we couldn’t have asked for more.

Everything you could ever need in a holiday house!

Wow! Wow! Wow! Never have I ever stayed in a holiday house that thought of so many “special touches “ ! You would need to stay here a month to use everything this house has to offer. But boy did we enjoy checking out all the drawers and cupboards just to see it all. From canoes to bicycles to picnic baskets and even beach towels! Then in the kitchen there was everything you could possibly think of. The coffee machine was awesome, there was everything to make a gorgeous looking platter and a champagne bucket and everything a bunch of ladies could ever need to make a memorable girls weekend away for a friends 50th birthday celebration! Cheryl our lovely hostess even baked us a delicious birthday cake to surprise us on our arrival! I understand now why every review is 10/10 We can not thank you enough Cheryl for an outstanding beautiful property! Special thanks also to David, the sourdough was spot on

The Shell Seekers is a beautiful property that has been lovingly created to cater for your every need. From the minute you arrive you will feel totally at home. Fresh flowers, fresh crusty bread and a complimentary gin and tonic are just a few of the lovely touches that make this property special. There are two living areas, a fully equipped kitchen upstairs and an outdoor barbecue on the back deck. This property is immaculate and a credit to the owner who created it. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Immaculately presented property. Highly recommend this beautiful home.

The property was amazing! Very clean, beautifully styled and had a cosy feel. The owner has thought of everything and included it in the property so we felt like it was a home away from home. The owner was lovely to deal with, very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend this property.

Wonderful home that caters for all

Cheryl has set up a wonderful home that had everything we needed to enjoy our stay with the family. There was basic provisions which were more than basic, linen provided which made packing easier and a great assortment of games,DVDs and books. All that you really need to bring is food and beverages. This is one of the best homes we have stayed in terms of set up, space and functionality. The beds were comfy, the house was warm, walking distance to the village and views to the bay and beyond. We look forward to returning again.
