Awesome little place
The crab shack is a perfectly located little place located down a quiet street and only a few mins walk into Wallaroo. Has everything you need for a perfect getaway including a fully secured yard for your pets. Check out the Bond Store for lunch and the smelter for breakfast and coffee. Dale was great to communicate with. We will be back 😊

Great cottage well renovated created an authentic feel and good vibe. Shower would be better with a glass screen rather than shower curtain and there were shoes left behind from previous people under the bed

Comfortable & homey.
This property is exactly as the ad suggests. It's clean, tidy and home like. The host had fantastic communication even through Stayz having technical difficulties. I have no faults, except the main bedroom mattress is quite firm (maybe just me being fussy!) but didn't effect our stay - more of a 'heads up' for other guests! We loved how close town was & all the board games! Thank you! 5/5 stars!
