You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

The Shack, 16 Windmill Street, Port Macquarie

This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom holiday house is the ideal escape for those seeking a relaxing and comfortable holiday within easy walking distance to beaches, cafes and the CBD.

The house features a spacious and modern interior with a coastal theme, complete with fully-equipped kitchen, cozy living room with smart TV, Wifi, air conditioning and three comfortable bedrooms, all with double beds that can accommodate up to six guests. The sofa bed located in the living room does allow for another guest if your group has more than six. Two bathrooms and an inviting front verandah to read, relax and breathe in the fresh ocean air awaits you.

Every inch of the holiday house has been carefully designed to create a relaxing and welcoming atmosphere for you to enjoy. Outside, a lovely outdoor deck area, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee, evening drink or BBQ.

Located between two of Ports most famous beaches you will be a 10 minute walk to Town Beach and Salty Crew café or equally close to Flynns Beach which offers surf lessons and a coastal café overlooking the water. Both beaches are patrolled all year by Australian Lifeguard Service and are excellent swimming options. At the end of the street is easy access to the coastal walk.

Spend your days soaking up the sun on the sand or exploring the nearby shops, cafes, monthly markets, restaurants or enjoy a wine in one of Ports wine bars, the choice is yours. Add fishing, a picnic in the park opposite the beach or 4wd along the white sands of nearby Lighthouse Beach there is so much to choose from (note: a NSW National Parks Permit is required to drive on the beach). The Glasshouse Theatre hosts many events which are booked via the box office.

Whether you’re travelling with family or friends, this 3-bedroom holiday house is the perfect home away from home for your upcoming beach getaway.

Your family pet is welcome to stay, with nearby off leash Nobby’s Beach a firm favourite. We politely ask that dogs are not left alone for long periods of time to avoid persistent barking.

Bedding configuration: Double beds to all 3 bedrooms, Sofa bed in living room. All linen included.
Please inform Lifestyle. at the time of booking, if the sofa bed is required so we can ensure the linen for this is provided.

The house was spotless and the pet yard was fully enclosed and no way of getting out. The kitchen had everything needed as well as Tea and coffee and a coffee machine and milk. The location was great and very quite. Was close to everything, could walk to the shops, beach and a number of walking trails. Thoroughly enjoyed the stay. The bathroom floor was very slippery when wet, need a bathmat that sticks to the floor so it doesn't slide. Would stay again.

We had 2 toddlers and the back area was spacious and closed off making it perfect for us to sit down longer than 5 minutes with a wine in hand. We will be making this an annual holiday at this location - couldn’t knock it!

Private and comfortable with great facilities and furnishings although the mattresses are on the firm side, not great for our old bones. Offstreet parking and dog friendly on leash coastal walks and beaches nearby.

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
Extremely disappointing stay – poorly maintained and not as advertisedWe were really looking forward to our stay, but the experience fell far short of what was promised.The ceiling fan in the main bedroom didn’t work, and the pedestal fan provided was extremely dirty, rusty, and unusable. The oven fan was also very noisy and not functional. Several powerpoints and lights throughout the property didn’t work, which made using the home genuinely inconvenient.The overall presentation of the property was very poor. It was not properly cleaned and had spiderwebs throughout. The beds were small and uncomfortable, and one bed squeaked so loudly that even the slightest movement made it difficult to sleep.The environment around the property was also an issue. The neighbouring properties are very noisy, creating a loud and disruptive stay. There were limited flyscreens, meaning we couldn’t ventilate the house without letting insects in.The listing was also advertised as pet friendly, but the reality was the opposite. Not only did neighbours frequently complain about even minor dog noise, but we later discovered a rule buried in the terms and conditions stating pets cannot be left unattended at the property for more than 30 minutes. This was not clearly disclosed on the listing and makes the property highly impractical for anyone travelling with pets.Overall, the property felt poorly maintained, misrepresented, and not suitable for a relaxing holiday.

Property is lovely, very stylish decor and extremely well equipped with good quality cookware with plentiful crockery, glassware and cutlery. It felt like an entertainer's kitchen. The beds were all comfortable, 2 good size queen bedrooms and 1 slightly squeezey double, two bathrooms and a laundry all contemporary and well equiped, indoor and several outdoor dining areas. We got a sense the property is 'brand new' clearly it has had a fresh paint job. Highly recommend. Only downer is the 9.30am checkout but we were given 10.30 on request. The 500 damage bond is a not a hold on your card, but is actually charged and then refunds are only processed Tuesday and Thursday. It's a lovely property and perfect for a friends' getaway.
