The description is accurate but I'd hardly call it a "shack", it was clean and comfortable. Lovely view, well fenced yard. Our dogs had a great time. We enjoyed our stay and would go back again if it were closer to home.Photos - view from front window early evening; NZ fur seals at the wharf; dog friendly Pennington Beach 10 minutes drive

Perfect position, peaceful with amazing water views right in front. An old style holiday house with lots of quirky character.

The location was really good. However the house was old and was just basic. If you would expect to have a bodywash and a shampoo as a standard it was missing here and there was barely any hand wash and dishwashing liquid left for a 5 night stay. There were food cans and food items in the pantry which had an expiry date back to mid 2024 not that we wanted to use it but they are rotting sitting there. No acknowldedgment of messages by the host for a special request before checkin and after kindly advising that we have checked out. Overall felt no value for the money we spent. There are much better places for this value out there.
