The House was as advertised and we were very comfortable. The facilities were on the older side but functional and very clean. Beds were comfortable and very clean. The selling point of the house is undoubtedly the view of the ocean from the upstairs balcony and the visiting bird life which included cockatoos, king parrots, magpies, kookaburras and wrens. Our host was responsive and helpful. We would gladly stay at the Water Shack again.
