Great Property for us and our little dog

Great property, it had everything we needed, well appointed, walking distance to the beach, short drive to multiple shopping precincts and was perfect for our little West Highland Terrier. Would not hesitate to book it again and will recommend to our family and friends. Cheers

Perfect Holiday House

The Shoalbar is a perfectly located and perfect sized holiday house with a small yard that our dog could also enjoy time outside. Just a short walk to 2 x beaches and also walking distance to the shops, etc, at Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. The house itself was beautifully presented with modern décor, and really well maintained, with many handy pantry items also provided. THANK YOU - We will definitely be coming back

Great location! Comfortable!

The holiday house, bedding and towels were all clean. Annie had lots of little touches everywhere to make the stay more comfortable. There was tea, coffee, cooking oil, salt, board games, torch etc. There was enough cutlery, crockery and cookware for us to use. Annie communicated with me regularly and was easy to deal with. Highly recommend this holiday home! I will definitely be staying again. 😁

Mum's 80th

We had a lovely stay at this property and were able to bring our fur babies - Mum's aging Tenterfield terrier and my Chihuahua. The weather wasn't good but we were able to snuggle comfy on the lounge and watch some 'girlie' movies. The attention to detail was very apparent with comprehensive pantry items; beach equipment; shower products; ducted air-con and wifi. I was able to make a beautiful roast lamb meal the first night and a continental breakfast the following morning. The host kept in communications with me and I felt we were looked after.

Easter Getaway

We loved our stay at Shoal Bay, and so did our Labrador. The unit was in a great location. We could ride our bikes easily around the area. Walking into Shoal Bay was also an easy stroll. The property had everything we needed and more. The garage was a perfect spot to store our push bikes, and for the dog to sleep. Loved everting about it.
