Check-in and -out Times: During the busy months of December and January, the check-in time is 4 pm to facilitate peak back-to-back changeovers. Our standard check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 10 am. We offer a complimentary early check-in or late check-out time as a gesture of goodwill where booking and housekeeping schedules allow. Note that due to demand and housekeeping pressures, no early check-ins or late check-outs will be granted during the months of December and January.

All complimentary early check-ins or late check-outs must be confirmed in writing so that our housekeeping team are informed accordingly.

Guest Registration: Guest registration is mandatory for all bookings and replaces the need for a cash bond for short term bookings (up to 20 nights).

Direct bookings require the booker to upload a copy of their driver’s licence and credit card through our encrypted online process.

Perfect house, clean, had everything that you could need. Easy walk to beach and shops. Would definitely recommend. The only thing missing is an undercover outdoor space.

Wonderful accommodation

The property was clean, the location was great, the property had everything we needed to stay for just under a week. It was the perfect size for my family to enjoy the summer break.

Disappointing

House is well equipped and well located, close to shops and just a short walk to beach BUT it’s in desperate need of some TLC and a really thorough spring clean. When we arrived there was thick dust on the skirting boards, power points and corners of rooms as well as the furniture which all needed a good dust and wipe down. There were lots of spider webs both inside and out, the range hood was greasy, and the rug, couch and curtains in the living room are all stained and dirty looking, some of the curtains had mould and mildew on them. The air con system wasn’t working properly and wouldn’t blow warm air, only cold, and there was no stand alone heater in the home despite stating there was in the hand book. The managers were reasonably responsive when we reported it but it would have taken at least 48 hours to get a technician there so we ended up going to Nowra to buy our own as the temperatures were chilly in the morning and evening. So overall quite disappointing and a real shame as it really took some of the enjoyment out of our stay.

Lovely holiday home for our families

We really enjoyed our stay at Shady palms. The house had everything we required for our beachside holiday. A couple of things to mention is - The remote in the bedroom didn’t work. A fan in the bedroom without aircon would help for a comfortable sleep on the hot nights ! Otherwise this was a great house and we would love to return for a holiday in the future.

Family and Tourist Week

We were very impressed with how well stocked the cupboards were, how well equipped the kitchen was and how many cleaning products were available. It was an excellent venue for our family gathering with adult children. Our only minor issue was that the remote control for the TV in the bedroom did not seem to work, even after changing the batteries.

Nice Place

Nice place and great setup. The place could be slightly cleaner - the kitchen table hadnt been wiped down and there was a very bad mess left in one of the toilets.

Liked: Cleanliness

It’s a clean property in a convenient location regarding accessibility to the beach & town centre.

The front door wouldn’t stay shut unless deadlocked, which isn’t ideal with children as they’re either locked in or out. Some internal doors wouldn't shut either. The bath tub plug wouldn’t stay down either. But it was clean & in a convenient location.
