I love the red cat shack. I’ve stayed a few times over the years. It’s fantastic for my little dog who likes a holiday too. My grandchildren can come and stay with me or visit me and it’s easy to walk to playground and beach. It’s a character filled home ready for relaxing

The house had everything we needed and we felt at home right away. Our border collie loved the enclosed garden and being just a short walk from the beach. All in all, it was a great place to stay.

Great family stay

We had a great family stay, location was really good with a nice dog beach a 2 minute walk away. Heaps of games and very organised home away from home. Big safe background with shade and protection from the rain for our dog and kids to play. Would recommend to other people who want a homily comfortable place.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars! Chris was an absolutely wonderful guest — respectful, tidy, and a pleasure to host. Communication was excellent throughout, and everything was left in perfect condition. I truly appreciated having Chris stay and would gladly welcome him back anytime. Highly recommended! ___________________ Hi Chris, Just a quick note to say thank you again — I submitted the review from my phone and I think one of the stars may have dropped off! Just wanted to let you know it was absolutely meant to be 5 stars. You were a wonderful guest and I really appreciated having you stay!
