About this property
The Fish Shack - Private Path to Beach
A stylish little studio called 'The Fish Shack'. The studio's sliding doors open onto a pretty garden. We are not beachfront but have a private path which leads directly onto Clareville Beach. The swimming is great and the sunsets are beautiful. The Fish Shack has a comfy queen bed, great shower, yummy linen, towels and wifi! There isn't a kitchen but there is a fridge, toaster, kettle, coffee plunger.
Guys will love 'The Fish Shack', loads of fishing books to read and a few rods should you and your other half wish to try your hand at catching dinner. The swimming as mentioned is great especially at high tide. You can book SUP lessons at the beach (number included in your welcome pack).
Clareville Beach is perfect for an afternoon picnic or BBQ - you'll find several electric BBQ's at the beach should you wish to cook breakfast or dinner - it's a fun, popular spot with a buzzy energy.
You can also walk to Avalon village, only 20 minutes to discover loads of restaurants, a few bars and some great shopping. Or take a 10-minute walk to the best coffee, chai and organic goodies just up the road at Forage Cafe on Hilltop Road. Plus LePont wine store has some of the best wines in town.
'The Fish Shack' is a stand-alone studio but not within a completely private area as the main house is connected via a deck. Hopefully, we can only help to make the stay richer should you need any advice while holidaying we are more than happy to help.
*The studio is situated on the same property as the owner's residence, although it is completely separate. Where possible we will always make ourselves available should guests require interaction during their stay, without being intrusive. Happy to be available for any questions.

Fabulous location, just a short walk down a path to a really beautiful beach.The accommodation is compact but very stylish and had everything we needed.
Simple and no fuss accommodation. Everything you need and some local tips from our host to add interest to our stay - glass of wine on the jetty in the evening was one of them!

Thanks Stuart for your stay, we hope you had a lovely and relaxing stay!
Claudia it’s disappointing you didn’t leave us five stars. Considering your husband and you left the place in absolute disgust. I’ve actually never seen guest leave a place so badly, I had to hire additional cleaners to come in. You left coffee stained on the wall, orange juice splattered and stuff to walls and floor. Items everywhere it was beyond disgusting, I would never rent to you again and I would caution any person to rent to the people like you. Absolutely appalled.
