Outstanding retreat in the rugged beauty of this countryside
We had a very special week in Shellback cottage. The location is amazing: we feasted on the views across Waratah Bay to Wilsons Prom at different times of day, we enjoyed sunsets from Cape Liptrap lighthouse, walks around the property, gentle runs down to Walkerville South beach, a day trip to Wilson's Prom and lots of time reading books and playing games in the home, on the deck or on the lawn. We enjoyed the space, the quiet and the wildlife. We loved the home design and finishings. Thank you very much for making the home available and for helping to make out visit such a pleasure.

A place to rejuvenate
Had an amazing relaxing and super comfortable stay at this house on a wild weekend in Gippsland. It was lovely to watch the rain and wind from the warm comfort of the house and to chill out in front of the fire with a book. Will be back.

Breathtaking
Our family of four had an amazing time, so relaxing and the views are to die for. Even my teenage boys kept busy, riding their bikes through the paddocks, playing table tennis and hiking through the bush land on the property. House is so comfy and clean too. My highlights were the sunrises, and the sounds of nature. Highly recommend thanks Fleur.

Sheerback
Sheerback is a luxurious house with a view to die for. Plenty of walks in the neighbourhood. However the weather was atrocious for our five day stay. The newly installed TV had not been properly tuned and was missing an aerial cable. Luckily we had plenty of DVDs with us and we’re able to pass the time whilst the rain lashed down. We would love to return with better weather

Slice of peaceful paradise!
We had such a lovely stay ! Shellback cottage is beautifully appointed with a very well stocked pantry, which seems to be a rarity these days. The views across the property to the Prom are simply spectacular in any weather. Fleur was an excellent hostess...great communication and she provided such a thorough "to do list" of activities in the area, which was fantastic! Thank-you for sharing your lovely slice of paradise with us...we will be back. 😊

Perfect house for relaxing and recharging your body
The moment we stepped into the beautiful house, we instantly felt comfortable and when we were greeted with the most wonderful view our bodies and mind started to unwind and relax. The house was very clean and had everything you needed. We didn’t have great weather but we still enjoyed lightning the fire and lazing around and snoozing all day. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was lovely waking up in the morning and looking out at that view and listening to the sounds of the birds and cattle. Even our teenage boys loved exploring the land and playing table tennis in the shed and commented on how great and relaxing it was. Our host Fleur was very lovely and easy to communicate with. We will definitely be returning to Shellback and thank you for providing us with the perfect house to escape to and help us forget about our busy stressful life.

Just beautiful.
Firstly, thank you to Fleur for being such a wonderful host and providing such excellent advice and information. This is a beautiful property with views of the Prom in the distance on a clear day. We loved listening to the newborn lambs during the day and a chorus of frogs at night. The house was clean and cosy, the beds and furniture comfortable and the native garden was in flower. We enjoyed the wood heater and sitting out on the deck in the sun. The Cape Liptrap Lighthouse is at the end of the road and the beautiful Walkerville South beach is close by. Fish Creek is a lovely town in the area. Gibson's is our favourite cafe there but is only open Friday to Sunday. Foster is the place to go if you need anything from a supermarket but as Fleur suggests, better to take everything you need with you. We very much look forward to our next stay at Shellback.
