Fishing shack
Beds are comfortable. Shower is good. Outside is in need desperate need of cleaning up. It’s just a fishing shack but is well equipped. Nothing special at all but did the trick. In need of handle on the door it’s difficult to open. We left it cleaner. You get what you pay for.

Review of Fisherman’s Friend.
There were three of us- 2 older adults and a 16 year old. We enjoyed being within easy walking distance to the beach, general store , jetty and boat launching. The shack had comfortable beds and everything we needed. Temperatures reached 38 degrees both days we were there and the airconditioning kept us cool. You clean the house before leaving which has the advantage of keeping costs low. This used to be standard practice a few years ago, but not so much these days. Floors and all inside surfaces were very clean. Fish cleaning area and barbecues also were clean. Noticed the fridge had a slight odour. Husband commented that drainage around the fish cleaning area would improve it.

Enjoyable stay,served our needs for a few days
Shack was clean and tidy inside,outside could have been cleaned up better and bottles and rubbish removed before we arrived as we had to do it.One of the BBQs was in terrible condition and not fit for use so upgrade for new BBQ would go a long way.

Perfect shack for a fishing holiday
It's ideal for those who need a small clean place to stay at Port Hughes, it caters for those who love to fish, bait fridge out the back, fish cleaning station and BBQ (was very clean). 10 minute walk or 2 minute drive to the jetty. We loved our stay here and would stay again. Hosts were very responsive to queries we had before we arrived.

Be Careful
The property is untidy with lot of mosquitos, spiders and spiderwebs. No front door for the property, toilet don't have exhaust fan, rear door lock damaged, could not lock, since the area is a fire danger zone its risky for the occupants in the absence of front door,, even the laundry door is not functional, The property needs a good cleanup, at the moment it looks like a metal scrap shed.
