Delightful

We had a great time at the beach shack. This is truly a unique property and I feel very priviledged to have had the opportunity to stay here. The period features of the house are beautiful, and I don't think anyone could get tired of the view. It was the perfect place for us and our dogs to get away for a week. We will be back!

Original family shack

Loved this place and would definitely stay again. Just remember that it’s an original beach shack (the way they used to be) so don’t expect all the mod cons! Still has everything you’d need.

The name is perfect, it truly is a beach shack, full of character. The location is amazing and access to the beach quick & easy. The owners are so friendly & helpful too. If you’re after modern, this place is not for you. We look forward to another visit one day.

Gorgeous location and great view

The shack is a shack - an older home but very comfortable and in an amazing location. So close to the beach and village. Host is very quick to get back to you and communication through our stay was very welcoming - tips and advice. Overall fabulous place to stay particularly with our dogs. Host, very relaxed. Home, rustic but very comfortable with sensational views

Old school family beach shack

We had a fabulous time staying here. It’s not flash and nor does it pretend to be. Instead it’s perfect for a comfortable, relaxed holiday with no need to worry if the kids touch things or are loud or the dogs sit on the couch. With amazing views and convenience to both the beach, local shops and the headland you couldn’t ask for a better location in Tathra. Great communication from the owners too. We would love to return again next year.

Cosy beach shack in perfect location

We loved our stay at the Tathra Beach Shack! So much character and so close to the beach and with the most amazing views. It has everything you need and the beds are very comfortable too. Best sleeps overlooking the ocean while listening to the waves. The owners Kerry and John are very helpful and easy to communicate with. We arrived late and Kerry waited for us to make sure we find the place in the dark and greeted us with fresh eggs from her chickens and herbs from her garden. We really appreciated that we could bring our dog and he was not only tolerated but most welcomed! Thank you Kerry and John, we will be back!
