About this property

The Shack on Sir Henry

A pet friendly upgraded Beach Shack close to the dog-friendly stretches of Callala Beach.

The accommodation sleeps 9 comfortably with 2 double bedrooms, one situated in an attached flat with its own bathroom. The remaining bedrooms contain double bunks and a single. The family room leads into a spacious and well equipped new kitchen. A huge, recently added, deck overlooks the grassed fully enclosed backyard ideal for sitting out in the evening sun or entertaining guests.

For dog-lovers there are dog-beds available, with an added bonus of being able to enclose the pets in either the front or back yards.

The shores of Jervis Bay are just a 150m away and the sound of crashing waves are a soothing reminder of the proximity going to sleep at night.

A dog-lovers delight !

Gem in perfect location
This is the second time we visited The Shack and it's our favourite place at Callala Beach :-) We love everything about it, the cute indoors, the spacious deck and well-fenced garden for our doggies. Very close to the beach with off-leash hours for fur kids :-) We had two amazing holidays in both rain and sunshine and will be back.

Great little shack
We had a wonderful time using the shack as a base for our family visit to the area. Everything you could want was there. A big thumbs up 👍🏼 spacious as well. You could have 2 couples stay here with a bunch of kids if you needed it. Fantastic!

Well situated properly close to the beach
Well communication with the owner, the washing machine was broken and get a new one installed next day, two things I would like to improve, the laundry was messed and dirty and the cushions cover from the living room needs to be washed every time new people arrive, overall is a good place,

Great yard and deck
Very clean property despite being older and called the shack. Good bedrooms specially the self contained one which suited us very well. Yard great for the dogs to wander and safely enclosed. Great communication and problem solving from the host too.

The house is in the best location. A beautiful home away from home. Perfect for dogs and children
Mick was so accomodating. Not only is the house a perfect home away from home, mick was easy to contact, and after we realised we left our daughters attachment teddy behind, he kindly offered to send it home to her. We will be back for many holidays to come. The perfect family home in a gorgeous town.

Family get away at Callala
This was a wonderful property to share with our family. It was so close to the beach and the back deck was wonderful for reading and games. The property accommodated our extended family and fur babies beautifully and we came home well rested. Thanks Mick! We’ll be back!

We wanted extra overflow accomodation for a nearby property owner to celebrate a significant birthday. Mick was extremely helpful right through the booking process, thanks Mick for your assistance. The house was spotlessly clean and eminently suitable for our guests. Graham

Fantastic stay for a holiday with the whole family!
We had a really nice stay with family, friends and our dog. The house is comfortable and well presented, the deck looks amazing and our dog loved the fenced backyard. We enjoyed the dog friendly beach in the morning and after a short drive we were at some amazing beaches towards Jervis Bay. Michael is a great host, he went above and beyond to make sure it all went smoothly. 5 Stars, we will definetely come back!

Wonderful stay, close to the beach
We had a lovely stay at The Shack with my inlaws and our young children - it was perfect! It's a minute's walk to the beach, and it's a lovely quiet location with an enclosed back garden - very child friendly! The house looks small from the front, but it's lovely, airy, clean and spacious inside! It was great having the little granny flat out the back (gave them a break from the kids!) and the back deck is really lovely for cheese and wine of an evening, listening to the crashing waves. The back garden is spacious and enclosed which was perfect for the kiddies. A great little break from the hustle and bustle of Sydney - We will definitely be back!

Great property and great location
We took our 2 German Shepherd puppies to the property. They had a blast in the huge fenced back yard and at the dog beach 100m away. The house was beautiful and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to our next stay.
