About this house rental
About this space
Welcome to Shack’s @ Ettalong — a beautifully renovated beach house in one of Ettalong Beach’s most enviable locations, directly opposite the beach on The Esplanade.
With its charming exterior reminiscent of a classic Australian terrace-style beach house and a fresh, modern interior, Shack’s combines the character of an original 1980s beach escape with everything you want for a comfortable contemporary stay.
Step outside and you are just moments from the sand. From both levels of the home, enjoy panoramic views across Ettalong Beach and the sparkling waters beyond, with beautiful outlooks towards Bouddi National Park, Wagstaff Marina, Lobster Beach and Palm Beach.
This is a place to slow down, reconnect and make memories.
Whether you're travelling with family, enjoying a weekend away with friends, planning a girls' getaway or simply looking for a beautiful coastal escape, Shack’s has been designed to give everyone space to relax while still being together.
A truly special beach location
One of the best things about Shack’s is simply its position.
Ettalong Beach is right across the road, with its calm, sheltered waters making it a wonderful spot for swimming, paddling, kayaking, paddleboarding, walking or simply settling in for a relaxing afternoon by the water.
The beach is particularly appealing for families, with the calm water providing a more relaxed beach experience than many of the Central Coast’s surf beaches.
And when you've had enough sun and sand, you can simply walk back across The Esplanade, rinse off in the outdoor shower and settle into the house without having to get in the car.
The house
Shack’s is arranged over two spacious levels, creating an ideal setup for families or groups travelling together who want to enjoy a holiday under one roof while still having their own living spaces and privacy.
Each level has its own bedrooms, bathroom and living area, making the layout particularly well suited to:
Two families holidaying together
Extended families
Groups of friends
Couples travelling together
Girls' weekends
Longer coastal stays
Small group getaways

Sleeping arrangements
Shack’s comfortably accommodates groups across four bedrooms.
The standard bedding configuration is:
Bedroom 1: King bed
Bedroom 2: King bed
Bedroom 3: King bed
Bedroom 4: Double bed
For groups who require separate beds, two of the king beds can be split into two single beds each for an additional fee, providing greater flexibility for friends, families, retreats or group stays.
Please request the twin configuration when making your booking so we can have the rooms prepared accordingly.
Your own private space
When you book Shack’s, the entire house is yours.
You have exclusive use of both levels of the home, the living spaces, bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and outdoor areas.
The dual-level design means that even when travelling with a larger group, everyone doesn't have to be in the same room all the time.
One group can relax upstairs while another enjoys the downstairs living area, making Shack’s particularly comfortable for families or friends who appreciate having their own space.
The views
The views are one of the features that make Shack’s so special.
From the home, enjoy expansive views across:
Ettalong Beach
Bouddi National Park
Wagstaff Marina
Lobster Beach
Palm Beach
The outlook changes throughout the day — from peaceful morning water views to golden afternoon light and beautiful coastal sunsets.
It's the kind of view you'll find yourself stopping to look at every time you walk past the window.
Location
Shack’s sits in a prime position on The Esplanade at Ettalong Beach, directly opposite the water.
The beach is literally across the road, giving you the freedom to come and go throughout the day without having to organise the car or carry your whole beach day with you.
Enjoy a morning walk along the shoreline, a swim with the kids, a paddle on the calm water or a quiet coffee overlooking the beach before returning home.
Ettalong is also a wonderful base for exploring the wider Central Coast, with beaches, waterways, national parkland, cafés, restaurants and local attractions all within easy reach.
Parking & access
There is no parking permitted in the shared driveway.
Street parking is available directly in front of and around the property, making access to the house easy with only a short distance to the front door.
Guests enter Shack’s through the front sliding door.
The whole house is available exclusively to your group during your stay.
Perfect for families
Shack’s is particularly suited to families looking for a beach holiday where the children can enjoy the water while adults can relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The calm, sheltered nature of Ettalong Beach makes it a lovely place for younger children to paddle, swim and explore, while the spacious two-level house gives families plenty of room to spread out.
Perfect for groups & girls' weekends
The four-bedroom layout and two separate living areas also make Shack’s an excellent choice for a weekend away with friends.
Enjoy a long breakfast overlooking the water, head across the road for a swim, explore Ettalong and the surrounding beaches during the day, then come home and relax together.
For girls' weekends, milestone celebrations, birthdays or simply an overdue catch-up, the house provides the perfect setting for a relaxed coastal escape.
Please note that Shack’s is not a party house. We want our guests to enjoy the property and its beautiful location while being respectful of our neighbours and the surrounding community.
Strictly no parties or Schoolies.

A place to switch off
Shack’s @ Ettalong isn't just somewhere to sleep while you explore the Central Coast.
It's a place to wake up to the water, walk across the road to the beach, spend the day together and then come home to your own space.
