Beautiful Rural Property - The Love Shack
My partner and I along with our dog had a lovely short stay at this delightful property. It is secluded and private, set in Bushland and very quiet. The accomodation had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.

The place was neat and tidy, and the setting was calming. We came on a rainy day, and were able to enjoy staying indoors for most of the day. Very relaxing.

Perfect winter getaway!
Despite 24/7 rain and wind for our stay we loved our time here. The woodfire and spa bath made it really comfortable inside and our 1 year old border collie loved exploring the area. Great little touches such as warm fire waiting for us and plenty of dog towels helped us manage the wild conditions. Highly recommend

Gorgeous surprise
Arrived in the dark, but thanks to Deb’s directions we found it easily. Loved our stay and so did our two border collies. Watching the horses were amazing and so were the birdlife with no less than 3 different species of owls calling at the same time on the first night. The cottage is cozy, the linen gorgeous and really appreciated the goodies on arrival. Thanks Deb. Hope we can stay here again soon.

Tranquility
Relaxing, tranquil, mesmerising surroundings. Just enjoying the spa, sitting on the verandah listening to the wildlife, watching the horses, sitting around the fire at night, took us far away from our crazy busy lives.

Perfectly secluded getaway for a couple.
Perfect for a weekend getaway for our 34th anniversary. Yummy chocolates from owner. Thank you. Peaceful and private with a lovely Aussie rural view all around. Pet friendly with outdoor lockup if need be. Facilities and furnishings were spot on, especially the spa. Short drive to Torquay, Anglesea. Great dog friendly, leash free beaches. Whites beach, Sunnymead beach and best O Donohues beach. We had a great time.

Cosy house at a beautiful location.
We loved our weekend getaway to the "Love Shack". We liked patting the grazing horses just a few metres away from the back door. The spa was fantastic. The house itself it's cosy and its isolated location is perfect for a getaway from the busy city life.

Peaceful
Lovely quiet bush location, tucked away from the hustle & bustle of the nearby towns in tourist season. Easy 10 -15 min driveaway from everything the coast has to offer. Dog friendly which is an added bonus. Some places the hosts are too in your face, but here you're left to your own means, but know they're on hand if needed. Hope to stay here again, for longer in the near future.

What you see is not what you get
We were really looking forward to a 4 night getaway and left after the 3rd night. The place was dirty. A pair of broken chairs outside our window were removed as a kind of afterthought on our arrival. Outside chairs and table on ‘the deck’ were dirty. Dirty and smudged windows Dusty kitchen chairs (other than where someone had sat) Random used plastic bags left in kitchen draws Cob weds on the wall above the bed and around and above most windows, hanging around the shades. Big grey ones in kitchen. Toilet holder wonky and the bracket fell off the wall. No bench spray provided to properly clean. Smudges on dishes and glasses. Dirt in the drawers. No where to place/hang clothes so had to use the floor Crappy pots & pans. Sticky prints on fridge door. No paper towels provided incase of ANY spills. Dust on the ceiling fans (I’d be reluctant to turn them on) & on all ceiling shades. Inside Fire place not cleaned out. The pull chain on the blind broke. On closer inspection was previously ‘fixed’ with cable ties so we had a darkened room with no ‘view’. Botton of blinds along the rod and on some blinds were grimy. Sink could do with a good scrub to remove stains Dirt and webs in ‘accessible’ space between wall and fridge. It is described as a ‘romantic getaway’ but the place was more depressing.

Fantastic place to celebrate our wedding anniversary
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Love Shack. Perfect location, very peaceful and relaxing. Our two dogs loved the open spaces to run around and play. Enjoyed seeing the horses come and go past the shack each morning and night. They especially loved the juicy carrots we fed them.
