The 4 wise owls

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came as a group of 4 women....the house was beautiful and clean and tidy ...the view outstanding..we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay...the only thing I feel that can be made better is some accommodation for people with disabilities like hand rails going up into the house ...in the shower ..toilet..We are all getting older and some extra thought about older people would be appreciated...But other than that thought ...it was absolutely lovely 😍...was nice waking up to the beach .

Absolutely loved it

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Absolutely loved it, The house was perfect and had everything we needed, around lunch time the tide was high enough to pull the boat nearly upto the back door of the place for lunch and a break from fishing while watching the dolphins swim past most arvos. Only flaw to us was not being able to wash the boat or flush the outboard after each use at the house of risk of not getting our bond back. Only dissatisfied in that aspect of having to pay $8 Each night to flush the outboard at the caravan park. Being a fishing town you'd think it'd be okay to wash the salt off the trailer and give the outboard a quick flush to look after everything at the beach house.

Hi Blake, Thank you for your review, we appreciate it! We are glad you enjoyed your stay at The Shack, it certainly is in a great location to enjoy your holiday. Unfortunately as the property is only on rain water and it is booked out regularly the owners have no option but to not allow their water to be used on the washing down of boats/motors and trailers, especially as we haven't had rain for such a long time. :)
