The house is located on a quiet street. It has a great view of the water, with the occasional kangaroo hopping by! The kitchen has pretty much everything you could need, lots of plates and bowls. Bunk bedrooms are small, but are all that they need to be. BBQ outside on the deck was fabulous. Would stay again! ##### Susan S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Mary 30 Nov 2016 #### Location, location, location! We enjoyed our short but sweet stay at The Shack. The waterfront was a hop, skip and a jump away from our back yard so we could go swimming anytime we wanted and did not have to worry about parking. The Shack has all the comforts of home but with only one bathroom, it is really only suited to a family of four. The BBQ (which needed a good clean) was the only item used on the entertainment deck as it was too hot to sit outside with no cover/shade from the summer sun. However going outside in the early mornings and late afternoons made it possible to lie on the two sun lounges and enjoy a good book (and/or drink). There are no flyscreens on the windows in the main bedroom nor on the slide doors leading outside from the living area so letting in the fresh air also means letting in unwanted guests such as mozzies and flies. The lights in one of the kids' bedrooms did not work at all and there were dead bugs in the runners of the sliding doors, however these were minor inconveniences. Seeing the kangaroos that also call this area home as well as the general quietness and friendliness of the locals made this an enjoyable stay for us. ##### Mary This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tomsjulie 1 Sept 2015 #### Great Place Stayed for 3 overnights and we all enjoyed our time in there, nicely renovated so very modern inside although still has that nice old beach shack feel externally, has amazing views over the bay, this is a really kids- friendly place, my daughter got never bored because of many DVDs, books, games and toys already stored in the house ##### Tomsjulie ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Nottingham Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nottingham-Hotels-Nottingham-Belfry-Hotel-Spa.h1397796.Hotel-Information) > > [Mandalay Luxury Beachfront Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Mandalay-Luxury-Beachfront-Apartments.h2648804.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lost Camel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-The-Lost-Camel.h4805954.Hotel-Information) > > [Heritage Trail Lodge Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels-Heritage-Trail-Lodge-Margaret-River.h9624427.Hotel-Information) > > [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) > > [Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Torquay-Foreshore-Caravan-Park.h6001296.Hotel-Information) > > [Club Wyndham Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Club-Wyndham-Airlie-Beach.h2802992.Hotel-Information) > > [Bannisters Port Stephens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Soldiers-Point-Hotels-Bannisters-Port-Stephens.h27355893.Hotel-Information) > > [Exmouth Escape Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exmouth-Hotels-Exmouth-Escape-Resort.h4032424.Hotel-Information) > > [Ozone Hotel Kangaroo Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kingscote-Hotels-Aurora-Ozone-Hotel.h2737459.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure London Heathrow Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Mercure-London-Heathrow-Hotel.h17586.Hotel-Information) > > [Lilianfels Resort & Spa - Blue Mountains](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Lilianfels-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h872.Hotel-Information) > > [The Carrington Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-The-Carrington-Hotel.h474003.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham Resort Torquay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Torquay-Hotels-Wyndham-Resort-Torquay.h1927122.Hotel-Information) > > [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > > [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > > [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Mellieha Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mellieha-Bay-Hotels.0-l6126759-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort, Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Sheraton-Grand-Mirage-Resort.h8065.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Hunter Valley Gardens](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pokolbin-Hotels-Mercure-Resort-Hunter-Valley-Gardens.h1877968.Hotel-Information) > > [Kangaroo Island Wilderness Retreat](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Karatta-Hotels-Kangaroo-Island-Wilderness-Retreat.h2041654.Hotel-Information) > > [By The Sea Port Douglas](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-By-The-Sea-Port-Douglas.h3024406.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tower Hotel, by Thistle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-The-Tower-Hotel.h2479.Hotel-Information) > > [RAC Ningaloo Reef Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Coral-Bay-Hotels-Ningaloo-Reef-Resort.h4257765.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) ### Flights ### Activities
