"Check in and out was easy and location was amazing. The cabin was great for a couple however the bedroom/bathroom set up was strange and we can’t understand why you would have the bathroom in the bedroom. Was also a bit annoying when the work cars came into the shed behind our cabin and started working at 6:30 in the morning when you’re trying to sleep and relax. We also lost sound on the tv one night and would have been nice to have more cutlery and crockery so we didn’t have to wash up everyday while on holiday"

"Although not yet refurbished our room was very good and didn't feel tired. Plenty of supplies, excellent location, albeit on a busy road (if you are a light sleeper this may not suit you), super friendly and helpful staff, thankyou Madi. Really nice lawn and pool area for spending some time outside and relaxing. Lovely simple and fresh continental breakfast. Highly recommend. Will be fantastic once the renovations are complete."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Shallow Bay?
The best area to stay in Shallow Bay is the Shallow Bay Esplanade, which runs along the main beachfront.This central area is the heart of activity, with direct access to the main beach. The Esplanade is lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, making it very convenient for dining and shopping. You'll find many holiday apartments and hotels here, often with ocean views. It's a very walkable area, great for strolling along the coastline.For couples looking for a relaxing getaway, staying along the Esplanade is ideal. You're just steps from the sand, can enjoy leisurely breakfasts with ocean views, and have a wide choice of dining options for evenings out. Many of the accommodations in this area offer balconies, great for enjoying the sea breeze.Families often find the Esplanade particularly convenient due to its proximity to the beach and various family-friendly eateries. There are also several parks and playgrounds just a short walk away, providing entertainment for children.
When is the best time to go to Shallow Bay?
The best time to visit Shallow Bay, New South Wales, is during the shoulder seasons of spring (September to November) and autumn (March to May) for pleasant weather and fewer crowds.During these months, you'll experience comfortable temperatures, typically ranging from 20-25°C, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty without the intense heat of summer or the cooler days of winter. The water is still warm enough for swimming and water sports, and the national parks are lush and inviting for walks. You'll also find it easier to secure bookings for quality accommodation and dining experiences.The peak summer months (December to February) offer hot, sunny weather, with temperatures often exceeding 30°C, which is great for beach lovers and families seeking a classic Australian summer holiday. However, this is also the busiest time, so expect more people on the beaches and at popular attractions, and it's essential to book everything well in advance.Winter (June to August) brings cooler temperatures, usually between 10-18°C, and can be a good option for those who prefer a quieter trip and are interested in activities like whale watching, as the migrating humpback whales pass along the coast.
