Where will I be?

The Shack is located at Palm Beach on the waterfront reserve of St Georges Basin. You have private access to the reserve and also the local playground and BBQ area.

Why choose The Shack?

This is an original 1950s retro cottage beautifully renovated and decorated. It has a waterfront location and a lovely setting, near Palm Beach.

How is the property laid out?

The Shack comprises three bedrooms and an open plan living and dining area with reverse cycle air-conditioning. As you enter the house you have combined laundry and bathroom on your left (with washer and dryer), before you make your way into the open plan living and dining area. The kitchen has all the mod cons needed while away on holidays, including a dishwasher. Down the hallway are the three bedrooms. Main with a queen and the other two have split bunks - ideal for young children. Facing the waterfront you have a large open entertaining deck and boat shed with direct access to the waterfront reserve. The yard is fully fenced.

Great holiday house

We had a great time in the The Shack, very relaxing, with all you need. Wonderfully close to the water for the boys to enjoy and to the walking track around the lake.

Lovely place with a great view

It's a lovely place with a great view. The outside deck is really nice with plenty of trees around and birds, specially kookaburras. The house is nicely kept and has all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay.

Great stay!

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!

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.

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
