Needs a good tidy up...

The location is A1. So close to the beach, playground and town. Good sized yard, off street parking and quiet location considering considering proximity to township. Downside...it feels unclean and unkept. Flyscreens would be great to keep all the critters out or an air conditioner so that it's not so hot with the windows closed (the portable air-con supplied was useless). I read the reviews before staying and the "bad couches" were heavily mentioned...and they are as previously reviewed...TERRIBLE!

Excellent Location!

While not the greatest place, I mean, it is called - "The Shack", which is fairly self explanatory really, it is close to the beach and the main shops of Rainbow Beach. Everything is a short walk away which is great! Don't be expecting alot, but it is great for a cheap little getaway right near the beach!

Very poor accomodation

The shack is worn and run down. The kitchen cabinets are rotten through. The sofas are stained and dirty. Certainly not worth the money. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
