"The Shack" was a quaint little cottage within walking distance to all local sights and shops. Plenty of natural habitats for the local flora and fauna. The only thing negative i would say about it is that there could have been more kitchen utensils and cookware items. As we are of an age where we prefer eating indoors than at outdoor establishments.
We both enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend it to our friends.

The Shack is a beautiful little gem in a great location. Easy check-in process and was super relaxing and comfortable. The fact I could take my pooch, even better!
Thank you Nat for a lovely stay, I will be back again soon.

Great little getaway shack for a little holiday. Bonus points being able to bring your fur baby. Clean facilities. The only downfall is having to walk outside to go to the toilet which wasn’t 100% clear on the listing and not ideal when needing to go in the middle of the night.

Just me and the dog, he loved the yard. A short drive to the beach. Our second visit but hopefully not our last.

The Shack was a tiny self contained haven. Everything you need for a no fuss break. The yard was excellent and our dog Harry had a ball. Some burr patches in the lawn but we just bought some dog boots and problem solved.
Would definitely stay again

The Shack was just as it was listed and just perfect for our stay. It was spotlessly clean. The added bonus was the fenced area which our dogs loved playing in. We will be back for sure.

The Shack was lovely. Very simple one room, warehouse style accommodation.
Plenty of yard for my fur baby to tun around within a secure environment. Very close to shops and other amenities, with great coffee shops and fantastic Thai restaurant a 5 min stroll away.
We enjoyed our time at the Shack

Everything provided to make for a relaxing enjoyable stay (altho accessing loo from carport was nit ideal, but manageable). Bed super comfy & heating was appreciated.
We loved that the property was totally fenced & our greyhound was able to freely roam the boundary!

This is the second time I have stayed at this property and I came back knowing it was a great location away from the busyness of other parts of Goolwa. Always clean and has everything you need if you don’t want to do lots of cooking- which I don’t! Great shower! Loved the outdoor table for relaxing in the sunshine. Perfect yard for furry friends!

We were absolutely delighted on arrival!
This place is gorgeous. Perfectly comfortable in size, the garden is beautiful.
We enjoyed a very peaceful weekend, with a few minutes walk to anywhere we wanted to go.
We loved watching our two Shelties run at their fastest pace around the garden. They were so happy!
We had planned to do lots of venturing for the couple of days we were in Goolwa, but we found ourselves prefering to enjoy the relaxing accommodation for the majority of the weekend!
This place is the best place we have found so far to holiday with our Pups! We are already looking at dates to return!

Lovely little property. Pet friendly secure fencing. I was in desperate need of tourist info. Maps and what to do. Food places. Nothing was immediatley visible in the unit. First stop was the info centre in town. I eventually found some tourist info tucked away in a cupboard. This should be visible for all visitors as soon as you enter. I had to contact the property manager on arrival as I wasn't sure how to get in. I probably should have been informed the key would be located under the mat. Couple of hiccups, but lovely couple of days.

Cosy small house with a large fully fenced yard. My dog enjoyed sitting at the gate watching the world go by. Lovely area under the bull nose verandah to sit and relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
Not far from the Main Street and a short drive to the beach.
Perfect place for my short stay.
Thank you Nat.
