Had a wonderful stay at The Shack. The house was a few minutes walk to the beach, spotlessly clean, modern and very quiet. The hosts had provided all you could need for a beach stay, the kitchen was well equipped, plenty of books and games available and lovely comfortable beds. Would thoroughly recommend

A return visit for us and we will be back. The place has had a refresh since our last visit and it both looks great and works well. While the rooms are on the small side, it is one of the best equipped places we have stayed in. Lovely outdoor spaces and a great location 3 min walk from a magnificent beach. Great response from owners when we had a plumbing issue on New Year's Eve - they organised for it to be fixed within the hour.

We had a great stay. We loved the shack the beds were comfortable, the kids loved their bunk beds and room, it's in a great location, lots of board games and movies to pick from for the kids and adults. The outdoor seating was great and a nice spot to sit outside and relaxe.Clean and tidy. It was absolutely perfect. The host even put a Christmas tree up which was a great touch thank you Sue and partner you habe a great little shack
6 / 10Average·Apr 2025
To be honest, we were quite disappointed when we arrived. We were expecting something more comfortable. There is no proper indoor lounge area where you can spread out and relax. The queen size beds are too big for the rooms they are in. It felt pokey and cluttered with family books, magazines and games. That said, it was very clean. The hot water was excellent, the bed we used was comfortable, and all the basic amenities worked well. The washing machine was easy to use. The position is great, being so close to the beach.
