Loved our week in Callala bay. The house is a great location and housed 9 people comfortably. The house could do with a little maintenance but it's nothing major. The owners were a pleasure to deal with and I definitely recommend the property.

Great Stay

Location was perfect. Quiet with a short 5 minute stroll to the beach. Rooms were great - comfortable beds and inviting rooms. Kids loved the backyard to play in!! Kitchen is a little small to cook for 10 adults but we made do. Open dining and living is great for the kids to watch TV and play while the adults have meals. If you have children I would bring a safety gate for the stairs to get in between levels which are on the outside of the property.

Suited our group PERFECTLY!

Our group had the perfect stay at the Shack! It catered for a group of 14 people so comfortably, we never felt like we were sitting on top of each other. There are so many different living/casual areas. The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms are immaculate. The cupboards are well stocked with everything you need, just like home. Unlike some places you stay where you want to be out of the house and back at your own place asap, The Callala Beach Shack makes you want to stay for good! Wish we could have stayed for longer, you can count on us contacting you again in future. Thank you!

Good property

We had a great stay at Callala Beach shack and the house was very versatile with its three levels and 5 bedrooms for our needs. The street is a little noisy with more traffic then I expected but its quite close to the beach. There was no dog thrower or bowls as mentioned, no remote for TV and no microwave dishes. The 2 gas bottles were virtually empty as well. Other then those issues it is a great spot for a holiday.

We enjoyed our stay in this pleasant spot

We enjoyed our stay at Callalla Beach Shack. The house is cute and very near the beach. And plenty big enough for our group of 11. The loft is a fun place for kids to hang out, and the separate area downstairs was good for our (older) kids too. It's true the kitchen is small, but clean & newly renovated. Thicker curtains would have been helpful in some bedrooms - we had to hang up blankets to block the light. The natural light filling the house is great in the daytime though! There were a few little dramas, but Geoff the owner was very helpful in addressing these. A good place to stay with a larger group.

A very thoughtful owner

This is my second review, because I had to add something important. Geoff, the owner, is incredibly thoughtful. We foolishly left some things behind - my friend left her favourite leather work shoes, and my daughter left her new ugg boots. Geoff kindly dropped them off to us in Sydney! It was very much appreciated. Victoria
