The Shack is a shack

Amazing place but need to realise it is not glamorous - could have a bit of attention but lovely anyway. We had a great time and the setting is stunning.

Great holiday house

If you wants shack with views this is it. Cook brekky an sit out on the deck to 180 degrees of sea views. The Shack has all you need, just a walk away to all Streaky Bay’s amenities and quiet.
