What a retreat
As soon as we walked in we could feel life’s problems drain away. The close proximity to the beach and slightly quirky furnishings make this house an excellent place to stay. Thanks Shellie.

We love Shellies
We have stayed several times in Shellie’s Big House and love it. Fantastic location amongst nature. A gorgeous quirky house and a thoughtful host who makes sure there are helpful supplies awaiting. Great spaces, indoor and out, to gather or escape and relax so works well for our family plus extras. Dog friendly. Private track to beach 100m away. We had friends staying in Little House so was a perfect arrangement for our group with option of interconnecting gate.

Hate to have to give this review but disappointing at the price point
Booked here a couple of weeks out as we had a chance to get away for 1 night mid week and pets were ok. The good: pet friendly and near the beach, host is quick with replies and made booking easy and is obviously an animal lover. The less good: needs some sort of window furnishings especially in bathrooms, cleaning was sub par (dust and dead bugs in bath and on some of the beds), linens were stained, musty smell upstairs so either needed windows open with mosquitos or air con and smell. Finally the price, for what we paid mid week outside holidays it was really disappointing
