Callala Beach Shack is conveniently located near the gorgeous Callala Beach.
The property owner was very accommodating and made our stay enjoyable.
Highly recommended.
Excellent house, pet-friendly, close to the beach and pub. Wish we stayed a bit longer.. One of the best holiday homes we’ve ever been to. I’d love to thank our host for being so nice for allowing us a late checkout. 10/10
We booked this property as a last minute getaway with the family and our border collie.Roxanne (our host) was very helpful with our requests to ensure our stay was comfortable.The property is described as shown and is really convenient in its location, being close to the beach and Club Callala. We will be back.
Our group of friends had a great time at this place which was quite spacious (5 bedrooms) and the amenities and large backyard made our stay quite enjoyable after long days out and about. Callala Beach was a leisurely 2 min walk along a quiet main road. Will consider again in future.
This is a shack so works well for children and its configuration works well for extended family groups. Has been done up but not in a particularly professional way. Not particularly well equipped but very comfortable beds.
Close to beach, excellent, 5 minutes to shopping centre by carBeautiful area with lots of lovely beachesCommunication with owners good.Close to clubBeds comfy and enough for our large groupBBQ area good for large group mealsComfortable for a smaller group, 8-10 people. We had a group of 14. Plenty of cutlery and crockery etc.Good back yard for kids and dogsSome maintenance issues highlighted to the owners separately.
Plenty of parking at the front & secure good sized pet friendly back yard.
Nice big covered back deck area good night lights.
The BBQ is big but is different to the pictures and 3 of the burners don't work.
The downstairs apartment is a good size with kitchenette, washer and a big bathroom.
The loft at the top was great my boy loved it.
There are lots of beds throughout the house upstairs & downstairs. The rooms are small but the beds are comfortable and clean. Plenty of blankets and pillows too. We brought our own anyway.
Has a small but cozy lounge area with Chromecast and the dining table was big enough.
We loved the fire pit at night.
The kitchen is small but well stocked.
The fridge has seen better days but does the job.
The top main bathroom is nice enough it has a corner bath. The fan is a bit noisy.
There is a long crack in the front facing top sliding door lower panel (was rhere before us). I'd like to suggest there should to be a condition report noting damage already at the property before you go, or acknowledgement there are some things damaged they already know of so everyone is on the same page when it comes to the condition of the property prior to entering.
It's in a good location near the beach. The sunsets are lovely from the balcony & people are friendly.
Overall, we had a nice break away from home, would we go back? We'd consider it.
Great prompt communication from the host pretty seamless booking transaction which I prefer.
Thank you 😊
Super close to the beach. Great indoor and outdoor eating areas. Functional kitchen and great TV (should you need it). Booking and entry was smooth. Facilities were clean. All in all pretty good. We had a great time.
We loved our stay, we will be back. We had so much fun.

Comfortable Stay
7 Adults & 2 young children & our 4 legged child, stayed very comfortably in this property, loved that there were board games to play, and the walk to the beach took all of 1 minute, very relaxing for our mid winter stay.

Fantastic Stay
A beautiful home at a beautiful location. We attended here for a hens weekend and loved every second. From an organisation point of view, the owners were a pleasure to deal with and the property was a very affordable price. Will definitely be coming back again.
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.
Beautiful light-filled home so close to the beach! The Beach Shack is a perfect home away from home that can comfortably accommodate 2 families and fur babies. To top it all off, the property owners are locals and were quick to respond to requests. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to come back!
The house was just what we wanted. Geoff even dropped off some life jackets so that we could kayak. Thank you!

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.
