Iconic Australian beachside shack, 2 min from the sea.

Located just a stone's throw from the ocean, Redbeard's beach shack offers easy access to pristine shores and a variety of water sports. Whether it's surfing, kite surfing, fishing, paddle boarding or just beach combing, there's something for everyone.
The sound of waves crashing and the salty air create a perfect backdrop for relaxation and adventure.
Outside, a small deck to enjoy morning coffees, brunches, long lunches while soaking in the ocean views or take a scenic five minute stroll to the stylish Colourpatch cafe/bar with stunning river views.
The beach shack is not just a place to stay, but a gateway to unforgettable experiences by the sea.
It truly embodies the laid-back Australian coastal lifestyle!

The place is entirely yours. There is plenty of parking with room for a boat too!

Perfect beach shack

Fantastic property immediately beside Flinder’s Bay, the beach shack has the warm feel of a beloved retirement location which the family has maintained with the classic 70s tiling and style.Well set up with everything you need for simple enjoyment. Comfortable and the fenced backyard was a delight for our greyhound to do tight zoomie circuits.Very much enjoyed our stay.

A family hideout with enough space for everyone

We are a group of 6 (mum, dad, 3 teenagers 15,15,17 and 11 year old). We enjoyed our stay very much. The host’s thoughtful presentation and welcome chocolate/coffee was an instant hit for all of us. Thank you so much for sharing this uniquely beautiful hideaway with us. Looking forward to visit again soon!
