The perfect little Beach Shack

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved staying 1 Waratah. Being located right in front of the rock pools and next to a little park, it was the perfect stay for us and our two small children. We only used the upstairs area and bedrooms this time but the granny flat also looked super lovely and we would love to come back with the grand parents one day.We also loved the backyard with the BBQ, fire pit and little stage. We had some friends over for a BBQ and everyone agreed it was the best place out of all their rentals especially for a get together. The kids danced on the little stage and rode their bikes through the park.The cleanliness can definitely improve but other than that we were very happy with the set up.Thank you our memories is Minnie Waters.

Best location possible

Gorgeous rustic shack on the right on the beach. Best location possible. For the price it would have been good if sheets and towels were included and decor refreshed (there are stains on the 80s style wall hangings) Other than that it is a perfect shack with everything you need for a relaxing getaway. I will defenatly be back.
