Shelly Beach Retreat

22/01/2024

Our last guest is currently staying at Shelly Beach before we switch to a 12 month rental. We've had a string of 5 star ratings including this one from Andrew who just checked out.
Please stay in touch as no doubt we will return to holiday rentals again - Shelly Beach is a magic spot.

One word describes this lovely place....WOW! From when we walked in until we left we felt at home and loved our stay. We had wildlife right at the edge of the backyard as well which we viewed from the awesome outside deck. Goannas, koalas, kangaroos and a variety of birdlife was extremely awesome to see. Katie was so easy to chat to and was always available to be contacted if needed. Loved staying here and would definitely recommend this place to others. Thanks again for the stay!!

Love this review from Tim our latest guest:

We had a lovely stay at this comfortable house. There was almost nothing lacking - we played board games and toasted marshmallows in the fire pit. We even saw a koala in our front yard. We would definitely stay again

We have a few weeks and weekends left that are free to book this year! Including Christmas week!!! Do yourself a favour and stay in our gorgeous beach house - we have taken a booking for all of 2024 so this will be your last chance for a while 💗🏖️🐶 Katie

Another 5 star review!
AND we have just had a cancellation for Christmas week so it's available if you want to have a fabulous festive holiday!!!

What a great place to stay! A very organised and tidy house with a lovely welcome box for us. There were some children’s books and toys which were very handy. We found the backyard excellent for our dog. Katie was very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your lovely house.
From Alice and family... :-)

Love Kerry’s review from her stay last week ❤️

Super clean, spacious and well located holiday home. The owners communicated in advance with details of the house and local attractions, and every attention to detail was evident in the comfortable modern easy-living home. Great access to beaches and the fabulous coastal walking trail, with heaps of great restaurant options and supermarkets within 10 minutes drive. Our family and dog had a wonderful holiday, we highly recommend this home as a base to explore Port Macquarie and surrounds and to relax in comfort, even on occasional cold wet days. It's well supplied with a welcome basket of treats, coffee machine, huge smart TV, Wi-fi, jigsaws, books and board games in the cupboards, spare boogie boards and plenty of cushions and throw rugs in the lounge room, as well as comfortable beds for a good night's sleep. Perfect for all families and pets.

How exciting is this?! Literally at the end of our street (the other end, so none of the noise but all of the convenience!) Let’s hope the new owners are able to open up this gorgeous theme park… yet another reason to visit us 💗💗💗

The site closed down after 35 years in operation, but the current owner was determined ‘to return it to its former glory’.

Very excited to be awarded Airbnb superhosts yet again for our gorgeous beach house at Shelly Beach!
And to receive more five star reviews! These are from guests who stayed this April XX

Katie’s place is absolutely gorgeous. A wonderfully spacious and peaceful retreat. We loved the comfortable beds, pristine bathrooms and amazing deck. A terrific place to enjoy a meal or a glass of wine. Our little dog Theodore enjoyed the safe backyard and watching the birds . A great location so close to beaches, coastal walks and Port Central shopping. Katie has thought of everything from filtered water to complimentary treats. Thank you Katie .. it was a total pleasure to stay in your beautiful house.
Linda and family - April 2023

Katie’s place was perfect for our family get together in Port Macquarie. It was comfortable, private and had everything we needed. Close to beaches and restaurants, and our little fur baby was very safe and well provided for. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a place away from the busyness of town but still close enough to be very convenient to anything you might want to do or see.
Elissa and family - April 2023

Nice and close to Shelly beach. Spotlessly clean and some personalised touches which made you feel very welcome. Dog friendly and secure fencing.

Wonderful review from our latest guest Tarryn - who stayed for five months at Shelly Beach Retreat with her family and two pups! Thanks for choosing us and so glad you had a great time!
Pics from Tarryn and this is what she had to say:

Beautiful stay for nature lovers, we often saw koalas, deer and a large variety of birds in the reserve behind the house. A short walk to beautiful Shelly beach, lookouts, the coastal walk, and Sea Acres Rainforest Walk, we were able to get out and explore the area easily. The house was beautifully furnished and and very comfortable.
Our hosts were very responsive to messages and always checking in to see how our stay was going.
The yard was a great size and very secure for our dogs. We all enjoyed sitting on the deck together having a BBQ in the evenings.
Thank you to our hosts we can’t wait to visit again soon!

Sharing the love! Another fabulous review from our latest guest:

Katie's house is lovely with an enviable position. A short stroll to the beach and cafe. Everything worked and thoughtful touches like a beach umbrella and boogie boards, doggie bowls and treats. All kitchenware was spotless and usable unlike some other places we have stayed at. Beds very comfortable and good linen displayed beautifully.
A dream house really and obviously a very thoughtful host.

Yet another lovely review! And pics of the gorgeous Benji enjoying the deck :-)

We had a wonderful stay, Katie’s house was comfortable, clean and well equipped for our needs, and very welcoming to our little dog! We loved the handy location to stunning beaches, the streaming services and relaxing on the deck looking out to the lovely bush. Katie provided great communication and information for our stay. Would definitely recommend!
