Very comfortable and clean. Neatly set out surfer themed cottage opposite the beach. Modern bathroom. Dog friendly, which our little pooch enjoyed with no signs of the smells of previous pets. Very quiet at night with the main bedroom at the rear of the home. Having WiFi available was appreciated. Short walk down to the beach, cafe and restaurant.

Sport, sea and sand!

Was part of group playing walking basketball at Niagara Park. Came north the day before and a couple of players stayed them played. Chance for swims and a nice meal at the Entrance before they headed home. Family tagged in the next day with the grand dog. Great spot for us all, dog beach at north Shelley, cafe at surf club.. really great few days away.

Beautiful Stay

Honestly beautiful place, we will definitely stay again. The location is amazing, and the space is great for children and the dog 🐶 Only thing is the cleanliness. I would recommend suggesting cleaners do under the furniture and wipe down the drawers inside :-) just to get that extra star ⭐️ Otherwise amazing 🤩 Thank you for an awesome stay .

The perfect beach stay

So happy with our stay at Shelly Beach. The ease of being able to walk out the door with your beach bag and be on the sand in mere minutes is so relaxing. Shelly Beach is so beautiful,tranquil and has the added safety of being a Surf Lifesaving patrolled beach. Shelly Beach House was neat and tidy and well equipped for a comfortable stay. Shops and takeaways are very close and convenient, and if you can't tear yourself away there are plenty of restaurants that deliver. The only negative was that we eventually had to leave hahaha. Thank you to our host for sharing this beautiful seaside house with us. We will definitely be back!

Mini family break

The property was well situated and great for the family of 5. There were a few hurdles gaining access and confusion about our booking which caused a delay in checking in. This was however rectified relatively quickly by the property manager. The house is well appointed and comfortable. A bit of TLC and the place could be a cracker. This has already been covered in other reviews regarding lights, doors and cleanliness. However, would stay again as these were only minor inconveniences, the positives well outweighed the hurdles.

5 stars- highly recommend

Thank you so much Michael. 5 min walk from great coffee shop (dog friendly), 1min walk to regular beach, less than 10min walk to off-leash dog beach. Great little enclosed backyard for our dog. It was just me, my partner and my dog. However this house is so well equipped for a family to stay. Big fridge, great sized kitchen. Big family table out the front, out the back and inside. Big comfy couch. It has beach shack vibes. Board games. Big tv. We enjoyed our little getaway.

A lovely place in a good location, a short walk from Shelley Beach (and easy access to dog friendly North Shelley Beach). Nice cafe's and takeaways nearby. The only blemish was the floor under the furniture where are puppy was determined to store all her balls, old snacks and wrappers and dust, not too much, but enough to be icky. Also, you need to use the parking bay in front of the house, not the driveway, that wasn't clear to us, but no dramas.

Good location and good communication with property manager. Older accommodation. Creaky floorboards which usually wouldn’t be an issue but can be if you have a baby. Needed to manually close the blinds because the turning rod was broken. The light in the room also turned on randomly at night in the front room. Bed in front room, not fixed to the wall and moves. The fans are great as there is no air con. Needs several updates. Dated accom, but location is good.

The house was very well located being across the road from a path along the ocean and only a 10 min walk to the patrolled beach and 15 min walk to the dog friendly beach. The house was perfect for pets with timber floors and enclosed front patio and back yard. There was some traffic noise from the road and a few small maintenance issues which didn’t detract from our weeks stay. I’d recommend the area and the house.

The whole house was spotless and a fantastic layout.You could do with a TV in the western bedroom.There are a couple of maint. jobs to be done but you know thatYour council doesn't like dogs on the " flatter" beaches which is disappointing.Thank you for replying to my messages so promptly, it was very much appreciated.Overall we loved staying there and the Salty Cod is a great place to buy dinner.If ever we find a reason ( or need ) to come back to that area, we will look at staying at your beach house.Have a great weekend.RegardsMartin and TanyaPS: your northern neighbour is from our area here and is very talkative
