This is a great property in a convenient location walk to beaches and coastal walk. The house has been thoughtfully prepared with fantastic cooking and kitchen equipment and the enclosed grassy garden is perfect for pets and kids. I was impressed the property provides an outdoor dog bed and water bowl. Very clean, with modern bathrooms and lovely linen and towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Home away from home

We had a lovely stay in PM in the Beach House. It was beautiful & clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. We got caught up in the east coast flooding and Cass the owner was extremely helpful and accomodating. We highly recommend this home as a delightful place to stay.

Great place .Great location

We loved our stay at the Boathouse. It’s a great location—close enough to the beach and Cafes etc, yet far enough from the crowds of the town. The property is also dog-friendly, which was a huge plus. Cass was incredibly accommodating, making our experience even better. We’d definitely stay here again!"

Convenient Location

The Boatshed was an excellent place for us to stay with our friends for a weekend getaway. 2 blocks from shops/beach/church. We were able to walk to all locations, so did not need to use the car once we had arrived. The accommodation itself was clean, and contained all the essentials: linen/towels/fully equipped kitchen. The listing was very accurate. Self check-in was easy. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Perfect Base for a Family Holiday

The Boat Shed is the perfect place to base yourself for a family holiday, with all the comforts of home, room to park the boat and a back yard for the dog. We were able to walk to the beach, skate park, restaurants, cafes and for ice cream. Plenty of room for bikes, surf boards, skate boards all the holiday "stuff" with easy access and no stairs! Highly recommend. This was our second stay at the Boat Shed and it is our choice of accommodation when in Port Mac.
