Thank you for your review. We are delighted that you enjoyed the clean, pet-friendly space, the beautiful street and the lovely view. As a private holiday house rather than a hotel, we function on a self-catering basis, which includes bringing your own linens, towels, and pantry supplies like tea and coffee. We appreciate your feedback and hope you had a wonderful holiday.

What a beautiful view and overall top spot to stay in Forster! Kickback was the perfect beach shack for our family, including our dog, and we just wished we’d had more than a couple of nights to enjoy it there and all Forster has to offer. Comfortable and easy, relaxing coastal vibe, well-equipped kitchen, and the ocean views from the front deck were sensational. From there we kicked back and spotted many dolphins passing through frequently, which was a such a treat! Easy walk to One Mile Beach and the sand dune, and the cafe for morning coffees and milkshakes.

We had a fabulous stay at Kick Back Beach shack. The communication for access was seamless and any questions we had were answered promptly. The view was amazing and it was a 5 min walk to a fabulous beach with a cafe. Would definately stay again. Was great for our little dog as well.

Great place and location. Short walk to beautiful beach, then back to the house up the hill a little to watch the dolphins whales and boats. Beach and house pet friendly so we could all go as a family. Heaps of shops and clubs local, fish coop standout. In short perfect holiday for us.

Beautiful beach shack

We enjoyed our stay very much! The property has been well maintained & thoughtfully decorated so that it is comfortable and feels like a well loved beach house! The bedrooms are a good size and both enjoy the same amazing view!The large deck is great for outdoor dining with sea views & it is only a short walk to one Mile Beach.

Stunning views!

We stayed at the Kickback Beach Shack for the 4th time for a week between Christmas and New Year and had the most wonderful holiday. The stunning views are incredible and the house suited us so well, 2 adults, 2 teenagers and 2 cavoodles just loved it. We will definitely be back.

Fantastic house - spectacular views

Perfect holiday house - amazing views. We loved everything from waking up watching spectacular sunrises from the warmth of our cozy beds to sitting on the deck with a G&T watching the dolphins frolic in the waves as the sun set! One mile beach is lovely too - some spectacular snorkeling at the south end - soooo many fish!

Paradise all year round!

We had our second stay at this glorious property, 6 days of perfect weather with our two dogs in July. Watching the incredible sunrises from the verandah, seeing whales and dolphins frolicking in the ocean each day. We stayed in summer and now in winter, the home is perfect all year round & we will definitely be back!

Great place, great hosts

They’ve worked out what’s important with out the frills and a good location. Kudos for having extra everything like crockery and cutlery to make it feel homely and not stingey. Would have like option for linen service though.

Great holiday home

The Kick Back Beach Shack is an awesome holiday home just a short walk from beautiful beaches. The views are gorgeous and the home comfortable and welcoming. The yard was secure and safe for the dog and we really appreciated the provision of bowls and a comfy trampoline doggy bed. Pet friendly and pet safe holiday options like this one are invaluable. The beds were cosy and the facilities were terrific. Would love to come and stay again sometime soon. Wonderful!

We Didn’t Want to Leave!

Our family of 4, plus 2 cavoodles, had the most wonderful 5-night stay. The photos don’t do this property justice. The house is perfect, so clean and it has everything you could need. The ocean views are incredible and we loved watching the sun rise and set, listening to the sound of the ocean and the birds. I cannot recommend this property more highly. We have been holidaying in Forster for almost 20 years and this is our best rental yet. We will definitely be back!

We will be back!!

Wow we loved our Easter stay. The view, the location, and everything about the house was just perfect. We really liked the fact it was out of the main centre of Forster. Kitchen facilities were great and really well supplied. It was clean and the beds weee really comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the big lounge reading, watching the view and catching up on our latest shows. The beach was beautiful and our dog loved the morning and afternoon walks. We will definitely be back to One Mile beach and if we are lucky to get into Kick Back shack again, we couldn’t be happier.

A total gem on One Mile Beach

This is possibly the best place on One Mile. We’ve been back twice now and will be staying again. Rachel is a fantastic host and truly cares about your stay. Kitchen is well stocked in kitchen ware, tops little BBQ (we didn’t manage to use this time) and all things to make it feelLike home. We stayed on top of our laundry! Gorgeous view, the birds are hilarious to watch, and the dolphins come in daily. Great spot and will be back! THANK YOU!!

Fabulous!

We loved the home, layout, cleanliness, location, views, how dog friendly it was! Fences are great, the dogs cannot escape and quiet neighbours meant they had a peaceful time. A perfect hub to explore from. Very comfortable and quiet at night. Kids had a blast on the sand dunes and beach we could walk to. Saw dolphins swimming every morning from the window. Watched the sunrise over the water. Perfect!
