Perfection

The Shack is exactly what I was looking for, on the water, dog friendly and close to facilities. It was quiet and serene, perfect for some me time with a glass of wine, a book and a cheese board. The best hot shower, great facilities and a view to die for! I can’t wait to go back.

Perfect seaside relaxation

The Shack provided me with the perfect getaway - from internet, city bustle, stress. The house is beautiful with relaxing decor, every amenity you could need, comfortable beds - and a view that took my breath away when I opened the front door. Looking straight out onto the bay. And that's what I did for four days and nights while I read a book, shucked oysters and cooked some beautiful whiting. The central location means you can walk everywhere. Loved it. Highly recommended.
