This dreamy little 50s shack is without doubt in the best possible position in Hyams Beach. However our otherwise perfect experience was marred by lack of maintainance and other niggly little things that if fixed would make this a 10 out of 5 review. Our biggest gripe was on arrival our wagon got stuck on the concrete footpath because there is a 100mm drop off from footpath to the gravel driveway. Had to find some rocks to make a ramp.Wouldn't be a problem for an SUV or 4wd but for normal cars it is a real issue. We had to use the 2nd bedroom as a place to lay out our clothes as there is no wardrobe or hanging space anywhere. BBQ was grotty and slow because one burner is clagged up. The bedroom roller blind is a booby trap that fell down on my wifes foot and there are nails sticking up everywhere on the back deck that need to be replaced with screws.French door key in knob cheapies not very secure and the bottom bolt in the bedroom is broken. The bar fridge struggled on a 32 degree day.(Tip: leave the fridge cupboard door ooen to let it cool easier) Air con struggled too. We would have liked to open windows so we could enjoy the coastal breeze and sound of waves at night but most of them have been nailed shut and there are NO flyscreens. The replica Hans Wegner chairs look nice but we were scared to sit on them in case we bumped into the fish vase. Its a 5 star review from me only because of what it is and where it is. Sunrises filtered through the ancient gums are to die fo
