Quiet with a short 5 minute stroll to the beach. Rooms were great - comfortable beds and inviting rooms. Kids loved the backyard to play in!! Kitchen is a little small to cook for 10 adults but we made do. Open dining and living is great for the kids to watch TV and play while the adults have meals. If you have children I would bring a safety gate for the stairs to get in between levels which are on the outside of the property. ##### Karlie C.

It catered for a group of 14 people so comfortably, we never felt like we were sitting on top of each other. There are so many different living/casual areas. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are immaculate. The cupboards are well stocked with everything you need, just like home. Unlike some places you stay where you want to be out of the house and back at your own place asap, The Callala Beach Shack makes you want to stay for good! Wish we could have stayed for longer, you can count on us contacting you again in future. Thank you! ##### Eleanor B.

The street is a little noisy with more traffic then I expected but its quite close to the beach. There was no dog thrower or bowls as mentioned, no remote for TV and no microwave dishes. The 2 gas bottles were virtually empty as well. Other then those issues it is a great spot for a holiday. ##### MARK G.

Geoff, the owner, is incredibly thoughtful. We foolishly left some things behind - my friend left her favourite leather work shoes, and my daughter left her new ugg boots. Geoff kindly dropped them off to us in Sydney! It was very much appreciated. Victoria ##### Victoria O.

Not sure where should I start form!! We spent our holiday with two other friends and their family. We were 6 adults and 3 kids and still there was plenty of space to accommodate more. Well thought, organized and convenient to suit all ages. We had loads of fun while our stay here and would recommend for revisit. If you are looking for personal space for couples, play ground for kids or have a good fun time around BBQ having get together, this property is certainly the one which ticks all the boxes. Thank you Geoff and Clare for such nice accommodation arrangements?, we will certainly recommend your property to our friends and families. ##### Ms S.

The shack is set up well for a group such as ours - we all got a bed and the beds were very comfortable, and we could all park our cars out the front. Bathrooms are excellent - the showers are just lovely. There was so much to do we didn't need to use the tvs. The beach is a short walk from the house and so peaceful and serene. We had one wet day but spent that playing games and talking, drinking cups of tea and then wine when the hour was appropriate. The kitchen is well appointed and we enjoyed our meals there. We had everything we needed and a wonderful time was had by all. Thank you. ##### Lyndel H.

Because of a booking snafu, we actually didn't get to stay in this lovely beach house. However, I wanted to provide feedback on how fantastic the owners are to deal with respecting booking. Geoff really went out of his way to help us find an alternate rental after our booking with him fell through. We were looking for a place on short notice and may have just given up but for Geoff's helpful suggestion on an alternate rental. He went the extra mile to help us out and put me at ease regarding the booking confusion. Thanks so much Geoff! We really appreciate it! ##### Heather C.

It was fully equipped with a modern kitchen and bathroom while still having a traditional beach house vibe. It was very spacious, and the flexible layout ( self contained downstairs, separate upstairs and loft) provides opportunities for two families, teenaged kids etc. It was only a three minute walk to the beautiful dog friendly Callala beach, and you could see the water from the loft upstairs, and we loved listening to the sounds of the ocean. The property is dog friendly (downstairs) and has a large fenced in back yard. There was a great selection of dvds which we enjoyed watching together at night. Great value for money and only two and a half hours from Sydney. All in all a really comfortable and relaxed place, we would recommend it and look forward to coming back! ##### Jenny H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Heather J., Corrimal, Australia 11 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A perfect pet friendly place to stay Plenty of parking at the front & secure good sized pet friendly back yard. Nice big covered back deck area good night lights. The BBQ is big but is different to the pictures and 3 of the burners don't work. The downstairs apartment is a good size with kitchenette, washer and a big bathroom. The loft at the top was great my boy loved it. There are lots of beds throughout the house upstairs & downstairs. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable and clean. Plenty of blankets and pillows too. We brought our own anyway. Has a small but cozy lounge area with Chromecast and the dining table was big enough. We loved the fire pit at night. The kitchen is small but well stocked. The fridge has seen better days but does the job. The top main bathroom is nice enough it has a corner bath. The fan is a bit noisy. There is a long crack in the front facing top sliding door lower panel (was rhere before us). I'd like to suggest there should to be a condition report noting damage already at the property before you go, or acknowledgement there are some things damaged they already know of so everyone is on the same page when it comes to the condition of the property prior to entering. It's in a good location near the beach. The sunsets are lovely from the balcony & people are friendly. Overall, we had a nice break away from home, would we go back? We'd consider it. Great prompt communication from the host pretty seamless booking transaction which I prefer. Thank you 😊 ##### Heather J.

Beautiful light-filled home so close to the beach! The Beach Shack is a perfect home away from home that can comfortably accommodate 2 families and fur babies. To top it all off, the property owners are locals and were quick to respond to requests. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back! ##### Juvy M.
