Beautiful beach shack
We enjoyed our stay very much! The property has been well maintained & thoughtfully decorated so that it is comfortable and feels like a well loved beach house! The bedrooms are a good size and both enjoy the same amazing view!The large deck is great for outdoor dining with sea views & it is only a short walk to one Mile Beach.

A total gem on One Mile Beach
This is possibly the best place on One Mile. We’ve been back twice now and will be staying again. Rachel is a fantastic host and truly cares about your stay. Kitchen is well stocked in kitchen ware, tops little BBQ (we didn’t manage to use this time) and all things to make it feelLike home. We stayed on top of our laundry! Gorgeous view, the birds are hilarious to watch, and the dolphins come in daily. Great spot and will be back! THANK YOU!!

Fabulous!
We loved the home, layout, cleanliness, location, views, how dog friendly it was! Fences are great, the dogs cannot escape and quiet neighbours meant they had a peaceful time. A perfect hub to explore from. Very comfortable and quiet at night. Kids had a blast on the sand dunes and beach we could walk to. Saw dolphins swimming every morning from the window. Watched the sunrise over the water. Perfect!

Another Week in Paradise!
Thank you for another wonderful stay in your perfect spot overlooking One Mile Beach. We have stayed at the house in both summer and winter and will keep coming back. The view is exquisite, the sound of the ocean in every room is so relaxing. We love bringing our two cavoodles to stay and joining the local, friendly community on morning and afternoon dog walks along the beach, the many wonderful restaurants and far too many gelatos as we watched dolphins frolicking in the water at the end of dinner each night. We feel refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for our busy Sydney life after our stay at this oasis! 10/10!

Paradise all year round!
We had our second stay at this glorious property, 6 days of perfect weather with our two dogs in July. Watching the incredible sunrises from the verandah, seeing whales and dolphins frolicking in the ocean each day. We stayed in summer and now in winter, the home is perfect all year round & we will definitely be back!

We Didn’t Want to Leave!
Our family of 4, plus 2 cavoodles, had the most wonderful 5-night stay. The photos don’t do this property justice. The house is perfect, so clean and it has everything you could need. The ocean views are incredible and we loved watching the sun rise and set, listening to the sound of the ocean and the birds. I cannot recommend this property more highly. We have been holidaying in Forster for almost 20 years and this is our best rental yet. We will definitely be back!

We will be back!!
Wow we loved our Easter stay. The view, the location, and everything about the house was just perfect. We really liked the fact it was out of the main centre of Forster. Kitchen facilities were great and really well supplied. It was clean and the beds weee really comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the big lounge reading, watching the view and catching up on our latest shows. The beach was beautiful and our dog loved the morning and afternoon walks. We will definitely be back to One Mile beach and if we are lucky to get into Kick Back shack again, we couldn’t be happier.

Great holiday home
The Kick Back Beach Shack is an awesome holiday home just a short walk from beautiful beaches. The views are gorgeous and the home comfortable and welcoming. The yard was secure and safe for the dog and we really appreciated the provision of bowls and a comfy trampoline doggy bed. Pet friendly and pet safe holiday options like this one are invaluable. The beds were cosy and the facilities were terrific. Would love to come and stay again sometime soon. Wonderful!

Beautiful spot
We really enjoyed our stay at Kick back shack - the view of the ocean from the property was amazing, and the property was fitted out with everything we needed with a very well stocked kitchen for all our holiday cooking needs. The only thing letting this place down was the cleanliness of the property = the floor was in such a poor state that we needed to clean the whole house on arrival - very disappointing start to our holiday. If the cleanliness of the house was addressed, I wouldn’t hesitate to give Kick back shack 5 stars!

Beautiful view and very welcoming property!
We and our two small dog boys truly enjoyed our stay at the property. We found Rodney and Rachel very easy to deal with. The property had magnificent views, was very clean and had plenty of indoor and outdoor space to enjoy. The ducted air-conditioning made our summer stay very comfortable. The backyard was a great size and very secure for our small dog-boys- they were well sheltered from the elements on the back BBQ deck. We would like to stay at Kick Back for another break, if we can. Thank you for accommodating us, Rodney and Rachel!

Perfect holiday house - amazing views.

More than a Shack! Great location and wonderful accomodation
We had a wonderful stay, great location and an easy walk to the beach with the dog and our young son. Very clean and well stocked with everything you may need, The driveway looks steep but our car managed perfectly. The yard was great size for our pooch and the family. Beds are super comfy, view is incredible and we saw dolphins in the waves from the balcony. The crashing waves are a wonderful way to be lulled to sleep. Rachel was very helpful but we had no problems in the house AT ALL! We'll be back... for sure.
