Park the car, no need to use it again. Walking distance to beach, cafes, restaurants and fun. Comfy home with ample areas for large family to spread out. Kitchen well stocked with ample appliances that makes eating in easy. Additional A/C would improve comfort in some rooms.

Arrived from Sydney for our annual family holiday, spanning four generations. Easy walk to beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. Excellent location, clean and comfortable home. Thrived and rejuvenated at Shoal Bay.

Great house to stay in with a large family. Having two lounging areas was fabulous. The kitchen was stocked very will with appliances. Have already booked again for next year.

Great house, not too far to walk to the beach. Cleaners didn’t check that the oven was clean or the bbq but no big deal it wasn’t too hard to clean ourselves
