Superb location with lots of great indoor and outdoor spaces for all occasions. We loved how much character and interest the property had - it really felt like we were staying in someone's home and not some sterile hotel room.

Difficult to fault in any way - one of the best locations in Sawtell, including wildlife & and beautiful sunrises. Easy access, everything was immaculate when we arrived. The outdoor bath was an absolute joy . Not one mosquito or fly - sensational!

Shellie's on the Beach

The most perfect place to stay. As an art teacher I personally loved the little touches of art, sculpture and collection of books. Our family had the most wonderful time and will certainly be back.

Short family vacation

Location of the property was fantastic - path to beach right outside our door and easy walk into Main Street for cafes restaurants and shops Family of 3 so the loft was perfect for our son but would not be suited to a second couple wanting privacy. Check in and check out was easy and communication with owners also easy We loved our stay here

Thought I had already done a review…. This gorgeous getaway is magic in every possible way. Spent a weekend with adult son and girlfriend fortunately more athletic than us to enjoy the climb to the gorgeous loft. Owner has thought of everything. Would love to bring the whole family down to share this amazing destination and utilise all the cottages. Truly magic. Walking distance to everything- beautiful back yard walk to the gorgeous Beach and bonus pet friendly. A new love and knowledge about bush turkeys and tiny ants. We will definitely be back.

An Absolute Gem — We Can’t Wait to Come Back! We only stayed one night on our way from Melbourne to Noosa, but this house left such a lasting impression that we’re already planning our return. The location is simply unbeatable — peaceful, private, and with direct private paths from the backyard straight to a stunning, almost hidden beach. Watching the sun set over the waves was pure magic. The backyard felt like a private oasis, with cosy outdoor furniture, charming lighting that made the whole space glow, and even a fabulous outdoor beach shower that was both fun and practical. The whole setup invites you to relax and unwind the moment you arrive. Inside, the house is spacious, spotless, and clearly cared for with love. Every corner shows attention to detail — from the thoughtfully chosen decor to the practical touches that make you feel right at home. Shellie, the host, has truly thought of everything. Her warmth and care shine through in every detail. We only wish we could have stayed longer — but one thing is certain: we will definitely be back. This place is a treasure.

We loved having direct beach access up the private path over the dunes, it was also an easy walk into the main street which had great restaurants.
