Very comfortable cottage with lovely beach vibe. Everything is in good working order and the hosts have thoughtfully provided little extras you could want. Very clean and fresh feel inside. Great secure big back yard for a pet friendly stay. A very convenient base to enjoy the river and beachside walks in this lovely area.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Shoal Cottage with our fur baby. The location was brilliant, it felt like home as soon as we walked in. We loved the big backyard, the fenced front yard, the cottage was very clean inside and out, the bed was comfortable and the cottage had everything you need. Thankyou.

Very welcoming - clean and bright, with milk and coffee in the fridge, seasoning and kitchen essentials in the kitchen cupboards, toiletries and fresh towels in the bathroom, and a lovely deck and back garden A quick walk to the surf beach, the river and the local pub. Highly recommend this holiday home 👍😊

A beautiful lakeside home only a short walk to all the beauty that Shoalhaven Heads has to offer. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely Shoal cottage - a wonderful big backyard with sand pit and slippery dip for the little ones to play and run around in, and a fire pit to sit around and toast marshmallows at night. We look forward to staying again :)
