Host profile image
After many memorable family holidays at Carrickalinga we decided to bite the bullet and purchase a block of land to eventually build a holiday home.

To Be Shore is the end result! We love nothing more than to share our home with family, friends and the odd stranger or two so that everyone has the opportunity to create wonderful holiday memories.
