All 6 of us (including hubby, 3 kids, grandma & our little dog) had a wonderful stay. The beach, shops & cafe were so close to walk to. And it was great having a secure yard for the dog. The rooms were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed for meals.Thank you for a great holiday!

Beautiful Getaway in Great Location

Our stay at the Shellharbour Cottage was fantastic, it’s right next to the beach and perfect for the family. Property was clean and tidy with all the amenities needed. Rae (owner) was easy to deal with and checking in/out was a breeze. Would love to stay here again with my family!

Lovely beach shack

Shell Cove is a lovely spot to spend time with family, the new Waterfront Tavern has great food and the beach is directly across the carpark from the property. A true beach shack with all of the basics. Communication with the owner was easy and friendly.

We were a family of 6 celebrating a birthday. The house was as described and worked well for our group. The closeness of the beach and walking distance to Shellharbour were big pluses.

Perfect beach holiday cottage!

We have had the loveliest time at this cottage. Very comfortable inside and out on the deck (looks new!). The kitchen is well equipped with lots of extras provided. The beach is just outside the back gate and we could walk to everything in the local village (supermarkets, fish and chip shops, pubs). We recommend this highly to any family and friend groups for a beach getaway.

Relaxing sunny Winter retreat

This Shellharbour cottage was a quaint original set back from the beach. It was well presented and well equipped. For Winter, the lounge area was the perfect suntrap.Always important, the shower was hot and the bed firm.Check in was great and ongoing information from the owner was really helpful.Our pooches had a lovely time sunning themselves on the deck.

Glad you enjoyed your stay Ann. (My Mum manages the walk to the boatharbour on her walker. It is flat, and a path along the waterfront, just incase anyone is wondering for their own elderly..) And the oven is now sparkling clean. One of those jobs that gets missed. (Must do my own oven at home ;) .
