The Surfside shack was a great stay for us as a family of four with older teen/uni student. It retains the charm of a true beach-house with the sound of surf and very natural environment. View from back deck is amazing across to Lorne and a couple of awesome sunsets. Walk to beach in five minutes, easy flat walking to fairhaven slsc in 30 minutes along beach. BBQ was handy and positioned to be able to cook and enjoy view as well. Lots of birds visited and several hang gliders were spotted as well. Communication was excellent so easy to relax and would happily stay again.
