This is retro style beach accommodation. So if you want modern lodgings, this isn't for you. Having said that, this is a wonderful experience in a great location. Whale watching from your balcony. Lots of walks near by. This is open and bright accommodation in the best part of Seal Rocks. Highly recommended. ##### Matt W. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ken O. Aug 21, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning location, clean and comfortable Seal Rocks is one of the most special locations around. The Surf Shack is ideally located to watch the whales, dolphins and bird life in Sugarloaf Bay and beyond. There’s no WiFi and phone signal is virtually non existent but this was actually a positive as none of the family were a slave to their devices. The crew at Pacific Palms Real Estate were responsive and professional. Would definitely recommend this property. ##### Ken O. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Celina O.
