Second time was just as good as the first!

We stayed here a couple years ago and always said we would go back - so we did 3 years later and it was just an awesome as the first time. Definitely planning on a 3rd trip at some stage. Such an awesome spot, can’t rate it highly enough!

Thoughtfully designed beach house with stunning views

Great bach with an uncluttered look. It has everything you need but hidden away. Nifty features like a staircase to access a mezzanine and wooden shutters which give you a sea view when opened. Wonderful stay!

Beautiful rural place with amazing views

We had a lovely weekend. Went for nice walk on the beach. Place was cozy, beautifully decorated and well equipped. Bring boardgames or a book for rainy weekend should you want something more than TV.

A great getaway

A luxurious stay in a lovely location. We had to change our booking a couple of times because of Covid, and the owner was very understanding and helpful. Enjoyed our walks along the coastline and watching the new lambs with their mums on the golf course in front of the Bach. A great weekend to just chill out 😀

Peace and Quiet Under the Stars

Want to know the best thing about being at the beach in winter? You don't have to wait up til 11pm for the sun to set and with no light competing with it, the Milky Way really is the star of the show. Thanks to the amazing layout at the Boat Shed you don't even have to wrap up and head outside to appreciate the view above. Simply turn the heater on, turn the lights out, pull the bean bags up to the door and look up. Great for ISS and Starlink trackers and meteor shower spotters. This is our 4th visit to The Boat Shed so if you want to know more about the amazing facilities or how awesome your host Donna is, check out our previous reviews. 😊

Unwind off the beaten track

A stylish stay in the heart of the community. Breakfast on the deck overlooking the sea. A gentle round of golf followed by a stroll along the beach to Cape Turnagain. Finish off the day with a drink at the friendly pub. You will surely unwind and be rewarded for discovering this special place off the beaten track.
