Making memories
This property takes you back to carefree childhood holidays by the water. An easy morning spent exploring the river front and laid back afternoon snoozing in the sunshine.Plenty to keep the kids occupied and off screens, all the amenities you could need and enough board games to sink a ship.A quirky throw back to holidays in the 70’s and 80’s which the kids are already talking about ‘when we go back to…’

Great retro getaway in a beautiful location
Had a great time at Simon's house. Communication was great and we had everything we needed. It's the perfect tranquil location by the water and a great getaway to do some golf and quad biking in the sand dunes. Poyers restaurant down the road was a hit too.

A Crackerjack of a Shack
Homely, quirky, spacious and comfortable. A retro shack with a huge personality! Nothing pretentious, mind you, but a great place to chill, go kayaking (as we did. easily carrying the kayaks down to the water), fishing (not for us though, too impatient). There's a lovely walking track just out the back door of the Shack, and many other top tracks and board walks around Lemon Tree Passage. Simon is a brilliant host, making sure that we knew where everything was. What's more, Wayne and Carol are the perfect next door neighbours, welcoming and friendly. The Shack offers everything anyone could possibly want, except it will never be contemporaneous which is partly what gives it charm!

Great spot, what a treat
From the friendly neighbour, to the quirky 70s aesthetic, this place is a bunch of fun. Great entertaining area outside with easy access to the water. Kayaking and sand castles are easy, great for a young family. Short drive to the beautiful beaches of Newcastle.

Great weekend escape!
We loved our stay at The Shack. The accomodation had absolutely everything we needed for a comfortable and cosy winter weekend away. The house backs onto the water where we spent our days fishing. At night, we enjoyed warming up by the fire pit and spotting a possum in the tree nearby. Our dog was very happy running freely in the enclosed yard. Thank you Simon - we'll be back soon !
