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.

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!!!!

Perfect seaside relaxation
The Shack provided me with the perfect getaway - from internet, city bustle, stress. The house is beautiful with relaxing decor, every amenity you could need, comfortable beds - and a view that took my breath away when I opened the front door. Looking straight out onto the bay. And that's what I did for four days and nights while I read a book, shucked oysters and cooked some beautiful whiting. The central location means you can walk everywhere. Loved it. Highly recommended.

Do not stay here if you want a relaxing time
The views are beautiful, it was nice until the next door neighbors intruded by jumping the fence, intoxicated harassing us and our two small children, money was stolen and the neighbors music was loud until 5am. The owner contacted me twice, rudely, once waking me up on my birthday accusing me about our 8 guests staying and how many cars parked in the drive way. Then again about the music complaint when it was actually the other Neighbors music. Accused of 3 dogs when I only had 1 dog and the advertisement states pets are allowed. The forth room is adjoined to another, so little to no privacy for two rooms. Then the owner charged an extra additional $300 for cleaning, with no photographs to prove this, when in fact we left the place clean & tidy, we even washed, dried and folded the towels and put the rubbish and bins out. The weather was the only perfect thing all weekend. Would not recommend to stay here.

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.
