About this property

The Shaka Shack - Pacific Palms Holidays

  • A BoHo surf shack nestled in the tranquil embrace of Smiths Lake, where coastal living meets the easy going vibes of a bushland retreat. This charming home embodies the essence of laid-back coastal lifestyle, blending seamlessly into its natural surroundings.

    The Shaka Shack is smack dab in the middle of the area's best surf breaks - Cellito Beach, Blueys/Boomerang (5-minute drive) and Seal Rocks/Treachery (20-minute drive). With only one neighbour and nothing but rainforest at your back door, you can chill and unwind in absolute blissful peace.

    This vintage darling has undergone a complete renovation and retained her 70's charm.

    Smiths Lake
    For those wanting to enjoy still waters instead of the open ocean, Smiths Lake is the number one choice in the Pacific Palms area. Shrouded by a lush littoral forest and neatly separated from the sea by Sandbar Beach, this is a family favourite for those eager to enjoy a spot of water-skiing, boating, paddling or windsurfing (the open lake waters making for a windsurfer’s dream!). With an impressive catchment area spanning 32 square kilometers and waterways of 11 square kilometres you can enjoy all the benefits of this unique, tucked-away calm waterway. However, should you feel a pull for the waves, the picturesque Cellito Beach can be accessed via a boardwalk at the northern end of Sandbar Beach.

This property is clean and nicely decorated BUT it's very uncomfortable. The main bedroom does not have a bed! The mattress is on the floor!No proper lounge is provided (see photo)The bath only half fills. (See photo)We cut our stay short.We called the agents at Pacific Palms twice and sent an email on their request, but we are STILL waiting for any reply!
This is not a proper lounge! It's a wooden bench with some pillows that fall through the gap at the back, which is straight, upright and uncomfortable!
The ad states this property has a bath, but this sign in the bathroom indicates the bath can only half fill. This might be ok if you intend to bath small kids but does not serve a purpose for adult users.
