The Shack is exactly what I was looking for, on the water, dog friendly and close to facilities. It was quiet and serene, perfect for some me time with a glass of wine, a book and a cheese board. The best hot shower, great facilities and a view to die for! I can’t wait to go back.

The Shack provided me with the perfect getaway - from internet, city bustle, stress. The house is beautiful with relaxing decor, every amenity you could need, comfortable beds - and a view that took my breath away when I opened the front door. Looking straight out onto the bay. And that's what I did for four days and nights while I read a book, shucked oysters and cooked some beautiful whiting. The central location means you can walk everywhere. Loved it. Highly recommended.

As soon as you walk through the front door the ocean view takes your breath away. To be able to fish straight from your deck is priceless. The house has everything you need with spaces for the family to have their own areas to relax. Wonderful location to shops and the Jetty. Perfect!!!!

The house had everything we needed and the location was fabulous. Even better than the photos. Enjoyable for all members of the family and we hope to make it back some day - worth the three-day drive to get there!

Well … where to start … The location of the property IS perfect. Right on the water, 5 min walk to the Jetty, 7 min walk to the pub, 10 min walk to town. Once you park your car on the driveway (that can easily hold 4 cars) you’ll never need it for the remainder of your stay. ‘The Shack’ is very basic for all your needs and it is comfortable. It has charm, it could do with a spot of renovation … however, you’d then have to change the name! Rustic is the way here. Beds are comfortable and warm, amenities are all good, hot water is HOT so be careful and there is a fire pit out back which CAN be used even during fire season. Confirmation was given by the owner and everything was safely monitored from start to finish. Common sense is a must when using the pit! Now, the cons. Mosquitoes & bugs are EVERYWHERE and they get in the house very easily (even with everything shut). It annoyed me to death because I was bitten repeatedly during our stay even though I killed hundreds of them on a daily basis. It doesn’t help that I react badly to each bite … but, I persevered. ‘The Resident Mouse’ - Yep, you read it right. There is a resident field mouse that comes with the property and pops up from time to time. Now, it never bothered us. Nor did it get into our food, spread disease, contaminate utensils or anything stupid like that. We hardly saw it and we let it live out its day to day routine in peace. The owner put down mouse traps so, if you’re freaked out right now, don’t be … all is safe. Screen doors could do with some more security and better locking features. As much as we wanted air flow through the property at night in the bedrooms it wasn’t always possible. Simply because the screen door (in our bedroom) could be opened from the outside. On the whole, our stay was well needed and ‘The Shack’ provided. We were warm, comfortable, well rested and relaxed. The fishing was amazing and we were out on the jetty almost every single day. Please consider this place for your next holiday because you will not be disappointed. We certainly were not disappointed and SHALL return as soon as financially possible.

Do not stay here if you want a relaxing time

Do not stay here if you want a relaxing time

The views are beautiful, it was nice until the next door neighbors intruded by jumping the fence, intoxicated harassing us and our two small children, money was stolen and the neighbors music was loud until 5am. The owner contacted me twice, rudely, once waking me up on my birthday accusing me about our 8 guests staying and how many cars parked in the drive way. Then again about the music complaint when it was actually the other Neighbors music. Accused of 3 dogs when I only had 1 dog and the advertisement states pets are allowed. The forth room is adjoined to another, so little to no privacy for two rooms. Then the owner charged an extra additional $300 for cleaning, with no photographs to prove this, when in fact we left the place clean & tidy, we even washed, dried and folded the towels and put the rubbish and bins out. The weather was the only perfect thing all weekend. Would not recommend to stay here.

We loved the shack and loved Streaky Bay. It’s in a great location and every afternoon we sat on the beautiful deck enjoying the views and sunset. Loved being able to walk into town. I can also highly recommend hiring a tinny from Killas if you’re into boating and fishing. Overall I just can’t fault the shack. It’s not 5star but the way it’s being perfectly setup with everything you need makes for a luxurious holiday. Thank you Larissa.

Nice but won't stay again

Nice but won't stay again

The listing states wheelchair access & no way could you use a wheelchair. Would have been nice to be informed that the gardener was coming in on Wednesday only to be woken up 9am to lawnmower, we were on holiday. To many steps for me to feel 100% save moving around with my limited mobility & needing to use a cane. If able bodied this is would be a great place.

Fabulous accommodation in an exceptional location. It is probably common knowledge in Streaky that there is no Vodaphone coverage on Eyre Peninsular but I was unaware. It would be a small thing to include in the area description that could assist future travellers.
