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.

If you wants shack with views this is it. Cook brekky an sit out on the deck to 180 degrees of sea views. The Shack has all you need, just a walk away to all Streaky Bay’s amenities and quiet.

Advertising was very misleading Say sleeps 8, but no allowances for teenagers to have privacy. Well equipped and close to all amenities. Bit miffed got charged extra 2 people when only 5 ended up staykng due to room configuration.
