Fad's Shack is the kind of place that is so good you're half tempted to not write it the glowing review it deserves in the hope that it will have availability when you next want to stay! It is so well appointed and comfortable and is the perfect bolt hole to enjoy Kennett River's beach and off the grid vibe. The shack's kitchen is really well appointed - you have everything you need to cook and bake should you wish to. The highlight for us though was the deck - we spent every minute we could on it and with its multiple and comfortable seating configurations and options you really can spend every waking minute rain, hail and shine on it taking in its beautiful view, its bush setting and the many animals who pass by (we saw kookaburras and parrots, kangaroos and wallabies, and the highlight, two koalas roaming around the garden and climbing trees up close). A terrific place to stay for your next Surf Coast holiday. Thank you for having us.
