Beachside shack, close to the ocean

We loved the retro feel of the property, close to the ocean and walking distance from the river mouth and the marina. Our dogs loved the big backyard, spending lots of time exploring all areas.

Perfect beach shack

Fantastic property immediately beside Flinder’s Bay, the beach shack has the warm feel of a beloved retirement location which the family has maintained with the classic 70s tiling and style.Well set up with everything you need for simple enjoyment. Comfortable and the fenced backyard was a delight for our greyhound to do tight zoomie circuits.Very much enjoyed our stay.

Great beach shack

We thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing few days spent at the Retro Shack where everything we needed was provided. Beds so comfortable. Wonderful location near the beach and the house was just delightful. The marble solitaire game was a hit. Will visit again.

Peaceful location

Had an absolute wonderful stay for a couple of nights. House is just lovely, spacious and very clean. The beds were so comfortable and everything needed was there with some little extras which was very sweet and thoughtful, Had some great walks along the beach and house is very handy to go off exploring the area. Garden is beautiful and enclosed for our dog which was just fabulous. Would highly recommend a stay if you get the chance.

A family hideout with enough space for everyone

We are a group of 6 (mum, dad, 3 teenagers 15,15,17 and 11 year old). We enjoyed our stay very much. The host’s thoughtful presentation and welcome chocolate/coffee was an instant hit for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing this uniquely beautiful hideaway with us. Looking forward to visit again soon!

The perfect beach shack across from the ocean

We had an amazing experience staying at this lovely and well decorated house. We found ourselves upstairs looking out to the ocean and hearing the waves crashing, ready books at night: the owners were very thoughtful and made the trip a very memorable one. Thank you for having us, our dogs loved the outdoor area and the big yard, running around like there was no tomorrow.
