The space
The Ground Floor
The ground floor of Shellharbour features three beautifully appointed bedrooms—a super king, a twin, and a king bedroom with an en suite shower and loo. Each room is accessed off the main hallway, with the king bedroom and sitting room opening onto a charming veranda at the front of the house. The modern kitchen, complete with a 5-burner gas range oven and stone worktops, offers a bright and fresh space that leads to a balcony with stunning views over the expansive garden and sea.
A family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower is located on the landing between the ground and lower ground floors. Throughout the floor, period features have been carefully preserved, maintaining the original character of the building.
Lower Ground Floor
The lower ground floor at Shellharbour offers a practical and spacious utility room, complete with a sink, washing machine, dryer, and ample storage for sandy beachwear and boots. This floor also includes a second bathroom with a bath, overhead shower, and loo. Through the utility room, you can access the expansive garden, featuring a small patio perfect for barbecues, with plenty of space for sunbathing or playing games.
A cosy snug/playroom is also located on this floor, equipped with a comfortable sofa bed, providing an optional sleeping area for two additional guests, making it an ideal retreat for relaxation or family fun.
First Floor
The first floor at Shellharbour, a converted attic space, offers the perfect retreat for those looking to relax or work while on holiday. With a dedicated desk and office chair, it's an ideal spot for catching up on work or enjoying some quiet time. The stunning, far-reaching views from this floor stretch all the way to Portsmouth and the iconic Spinnaker Tower, providing a serene and inspiring backdrop for both productivity and relaxation.
The Garden
The large, wraparound garden at Shellharbour is perfect for enjoying both morning sunshine and stunning sunsets. It offers plenty of grassy space, with a patio area near the house ideal for BBQs. At the end of the garden, you'll find a private parking space and access to the road leading down to the beach, making it convenient for coastal strolls.

Shellharbour is a truly wonderful property, bright, clean and very spacious. All rooms were beautifully appointed and when we entered it immediately felt like a home from home.
The property benefits from 3 bathrooms, one of them en-suite, which for a family of 6 is a real plus.
We were pleasantly surprised to find some welcome provisions in the fridge - a lovely touch. We also have to commend the team at Curated Spaces who answered all queries in a timely manner and made the checking in/out process very simple.
So, it's a great property, but for us the key feature is the view; accessed via the spacious kitchen is a balcony that runs the length of the building with the most wonderful 180 degree sea views. There were many days we could have just sat there drinking in the view until we forced ourselves to leave. We were joined by a family of 4 one evening and still had plenty of room.
Thank you Curated Spaces , we're going to book again next year.

Lovely spacious comfortable house which was perfect for us and our 2 dogs especially having a nice garden for them. There were lots of good walks from Seaview along the coast in both directions with nice little cafes to stop at along the way.
