Beautiful Property
A beautiful property close to the sea front. Fantastic sea views are an added treat.
The property has everything you need for a lovely break.
Lovely spacious comfortable house which was perfect for us and our 2 dogs especially having a nice garden for them. There were lots of good walks from Seaview along the coast in both directions with nice little cafes to stop at along the way.

A stunning property in a beautiful location
Shellharbour is a truly wonderful property, bright, clean and very spacious. All rooms were beautifully appointed and when we entered it immediately felt like a home from home.
The property benefits from 3 bathrooms, one of them en-suite, which for a family of 6 is a real plus.
We were pleasantly surprised to find some welcome provisions in the fridge - a lovely touch. We also have to commend the team at Curated Spaces who answered all queries in a timely manner and made the checking in/out process very simple.
So, it's a great property, but for us the key feature is the view; accessed via the spacious kitchen is a balcony that runs the length of the building with the most wonderful 180 degree sea views. There were many days we could have just sat there drinking in the view until we forced ourselves to leave. We were joined by a family of 4 one evening and still had plenty of room.
Thank you Curated Spaces , we're going to book again next year.
