Great family house
As we have small children in our extended family it was great to be able to have a big enclosed yard and also the reserve just out the front. Views from the balcony were great and we enjoyed the wood fire in the evenings. Kitchen was well stocked with appliances. This house suited our family perfectly and we hope to be back!

Great Holiday Spot
We stayed here for a weekend at the end of May, such a beautiful house with all necessities included for a large family gathering. Great location too! I must say, initially we were a little worried when we checked in as we weren’t aware that the house didn’t have ducted heating and the weekend was meant to be cold & rainy. But the two split systems warmed the house up very nicely. Extra blankets for the bed/s are all that is required for a cold wintery night. But we were equipped, so no complaints from us whatsoever. We will definitely be back!

About the host

Host profile image
After many memorable family holidays at Carrickalinga we decided to bite the bullet and purchase a block of land to eventually build a holiday home.

To Be Shore is the end result! We love nothing more than to share our home with family, friends and the odd stranger or two so that everyone has the opportunity to create wonderful holiday memories.
