Great place, close to beach, clean and new inside
The house had everything we needed. As two families we had ample space across the three bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The sunsets were amazing from the balcony.
We had a lovely stay at Lil Southshore. Perfect for our kids, with the big room downstairs. House was fully equipped and beds were comfy! Even had a baby gate, portacot and high chair. We will definitely be back.
It was a great location to get away from everything, to have more tractors drive past (with boats on the back) rather than cars was great. The only downside and nothing to do with the facility was being there during the power failure - we had on day 1 and the last day. I would strongly consider returning for another 'chill out' time. Locals friendly also. Felt so bad for them with the power situation

We had a beautiful stay at Hardwick bay in this cute shack L'il Southshore. Location was great! So close to the beach. And it was very neat and tidy. I loved the tile choice in the bathrooms as well, they were awesome. The only thing to be aware of is the stair rails, it was just my hubby and I staying but if we were to bring our children I would have to watch my toddler as the rails are easy for a child to fall through. but other than that it was a fabulous place to stay and we would defiantly book again.

Reviewer Comments:
This place was so much better than we expected. It was really well stocked with all the necessary gadgets and appliances you could need. The bathrooms and the main lounge were modern. The sofa was a large 4 seater and really comfortable. We only used the main 1st floor bedroom having a queen bed which was also comfortable.The main deck BBQ and furniture were average but I imagine being so close to the beach anything fancier would get damaged.Linen and towels were not provided - we didn’t read the fine print but luckily realized enroute so we were able to stop at Kadina and purchase bedding and towels. It was a short 1 minute walk to the boat ramp/beach entrance. There isn’t much at Hardwicke Bay (a bakery and small store). The nearest place to eat was Point Turton Tavern which was pretty good.

Good location and good space for a large group or families as there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We didn't get a chance to use the bbq but think that it was awesome they had it on the balcony. Love that there are pantry facilities to use such as oil and salt as we had forgot some of these. More than enough facilities and room for everyone with one living areas and extra large bedroom with large tv for the kids plus outdoor areas. Nicely renovated and the communication and check in was effortless and simple

Perfect holiday home with all the amenities we needed. House was beautifully furnished and clean, with amazing sea views. Perfect location to relax and unwind, swimming, beach walks and incredible fishing. Hassle free booking with good customer service. Would highly recommend this property. Cannot wait to visit again soon.
