Thoroughly enjoyed a short holiday here with family. The house was equipped with all necessary items for a comfortable stay with the beach at close vicinity. Truly a home away from home.

Great property, it had everything we needed, well appointed, walking distance to the beach, short drive to multiple shopping precincts and was perfect for our little West Highland Terrier. Would not hesitate to book it again and will recommend to our family and friends. Cheers

Perfect Holiday House

The Shoalbar is a perfectly located and perfect sized holiday house with a small yard that our dog could also enjoy time outside. Just a short walk to 2 x beaches and also walking distance to the shops, etc, at Shoal Bay and Nelson Bay. The house itself was beautifully presented with modern décor, and really well maintained, with many handy pantry items also provided. THANK YOU - We will definitely be coming back

Easter Getaway

We loved our stay at Shoal Bay, and so did our Labrador. The unit was in a great location. We could ride our bikes easily around the area. Walking into Shoal Bay was also an easy stroll. The property had everything we needed and more. The garage was a perfect spot to store our push bikes, and for the dog to sleep. Loved everting about it.
