Note for our host, have tried to email you but have been unable to get through. On arrival Graham went to the toilet and the seat cracked so could you please let me know replacement cost so that I can reimburse you. I am very sorry. minclaregregor@gmail.com Thanks for our stay.

Very Disappointed
Paid for two nights, stayed one night. Nice location and enclosed yard. The place was very clean and the air conditioner (heating) worked well. The toilet is under the main roof, but you’ll need to go outside to enter it. Very unpleasant getting rugged up (and unnerving) if using it in the middle of a cold night. Also, the light globe was broken so, no light in toilet & no spare globe. Old door handle to bathroom came off in our hand so had to repair it with a matchstick to keep the door shut. The bathroom basin tap leaked enough to saturate spare pillows stored in adjacent cupboard. The microwave is on top of the full-size fridge – impossible for shorter people to reach and it is a scolding hazard when removing hot soup/food. Inadequate bench space and power points to use appliances in kitchen. NO SMOKE ALARM. No top sheet on bed and bring spare blankets if you feel the cold. Tired looking and dysfunctional for humans. Your dog will love it.

Clean, light, airy and comfortable within comfortable walking distance of the town centre and wharf area. Well equipped with all the basic equipment for meals, lounging around and sleeping. Nice modern bathroom. Outside toilet spotless and it's door next to entrance and under cover of the veranda. Block well grassed, fenced and great for our 4 legged companion. Shack well set back from quiet road with good privacy while lovely sitting area out front. One of the best places we have stayed in and we had a lovely relaxing time. Great accommodation for a couple with a dog.

Its a great place to stay Compact in size but perfect for us I have a disability and use a walking frame The house is flat and getting into and out of it is easy The large yard's perfect for our medium sized dog Its big enough for him to have a really good run The toilets outside but this aspect didn't worry us There's good lighting outside All in all it was again (we've been there before a couple of time) a great stay

We found the place to be very relaxing and plenty of outdoor space for our dog to go out into. She was very calm staying there straight away as some places she has taken a day to adopt. Good location not in a busy area. Would certainly think of staying there again.

Trip to the Coorong
"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.

Great little getaway
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.
