Not too impressed
Advertising was very misleading Say sleeps 8, but no allowances for teenagers to have privacy. Well equipped and close to all amenities. Bit miffed got charged extra 2 people when only 5 ended up staykng due to room configuration.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!!
