The Lucky Shack - Pet Friendly

Bring the whole family to this great shack, with lots of room for fun. This family friendly shack, is your perfect spot to relax & enjoy everything that the St.Helens area has to offer.

Catering to families, with small children or friends catching up or mountain bike riders & fisherman enthusiasts, alike. We've got you covered.

The main house offers three bedrooms, bathroom & two toilets. Open plan kitchen, living & dining. This area opens out the back of the home, to the under cover, weather proof, outdoor bbq area. Out the back here, you'll also find the bunk room, with three single bunk beds & second lounge room with smart tv. This space is the perfect spot for the kids to have their own place, away from the parents. There's also, in this back area a second shower, third toilet & the laundry.

There's also an outdoor, undercover rustic fireplace to enjoy on those cold Winter days.

The home has ample off street parking, for cars, boats, jet skis & mountain bikes.

And to also add to the appeal of the home, it's pet friendly! The home is fully fenced & secure for your dog to run around. There's no need to holiday without your beloved pooch, as they're fully catered for to also have a lovely beachside getaway.

Once you've unpacked there is nothing more to do than sit back, relax & ponder what your days activities might be. And believe us, there's plenty in the area to do. Swimming, beach fishing, charter fishing, beach walks, bush walks, mountain bike riding & sand dune exploration, are to name just a few. And if you are into mountain bike riding, you'll be spoilt for choice, as there's numerous trails for you to explore in the area.

St. Helens is a mere 10 minute drive away from The Lucky Shack. This quaint fishing town has everything you could possibly need. Marina, supermarkets, numerous cafes/eateries, cinema, a pub, a providore (which stocks delicious local produce), chemist, newsagency, several retail shops & medical/hospital facilities.

St. Helens is on the beautiful George's Bay and is a renowned fishing port, so there is no shortage of local fresh seafood to sample. The world famous Bay of Fires & Binalong Bay, is approx. 30km's from The Lucky Shack.

Available long or short term.
