Great location with beautiful view. Walking distance to food/pub and swimming locations and parks. Katya very welcoming and informative. Beds and general space were comfortable and was great that dogs were allowed.

Hi Kristen,
Thank you for your lovely review. I’m so glad you enjoyed the beautiful views and the location, it really is special being able to walk to Shaws Bay, the parks and the pub so easily.
It’s also wonderful to hear that Seaview was comfortable for you and your dogs. We love being able to offer a place where guests can relax and bring their furry family members along.
It was a pleasure hosting you and you’re very welcome back anytime.
Warm regards,
Katya
Lazy Days on Shaws Bay 🌊🐾
Katia proved to be the perfect hostess, with a very friendly and helpful attitude. The unit was clean and nicely appointed with stunning water views, comfortable furniture and cosy beds. Probably for a short person the glasses shelf was too high and one bedroom was a little short on room around the bed - otherwise such a delightful weekend. Thank you once again Katia for making our stay wonderful, Shas

Our stay at Lazy days on Shaws Bay was amazing. The apartment is so lovely and cosy. It has everything you need, as well as an amazing view to wake up to every day. Katya was so warm and friendly and simply a wonderful host. Balina is a great place to visit with a lot to offer families, couples and singles. I recommend this accommodation to anyone who wants a laid back holiday in a cute coastal town.

If you’re like me, when you live in the bush… you crave the ocean & vice versa so if you get the chance to have some time out, make it Seaview - Stunning Coastal Views & Pet Friendly You won’t regret it, great views & a lovely host. Life is too short to ponder what might be, just do it!!

Kim,
Your words truly touched my heart. Thank you!, not just for this gorgeous review, but for the warmth, appreciation and joy you brought with you.
That photo of you with your wine and prawns, soaking in the view, is exactly what Seaview is all about — slowing down, breathing in the ocean air, and just being in the moment.
And your thoughtful gift was so incredibly kind. You are such a wonderful soul.
I love what you wrote, when you live in the bush you crave the ocean… it’s so true. I’m so glad Seaview could be your coastal reset.
Life really is too short not to “just do it.” 🤍
You are welcome back anytime — it would be an absolute pleasure to host you again.
With gratitude,
Katya 🌊🐾🍷
Great view, beautifully decorated apartment that we could bring our much loved cavoodle to. Very close to the beach and would definitely holiday here again.

The unit was excellent, all that we had hoped for. Katya has everything in the unit you could possibly need for your stay, so much attention to the smallest detail. Was clean, and the views to the water were amazing. Will definitely be back and can without hesitation recommend to anyone thinking of staying here
