Unique stay that a city dweller should experience.

8.0

Rustic, off the grid and not your usual hotel. But definitely felt like Van and Russell had put in effort to make us feel at home and comfortable. I also loved the idea of staying next to a river bank or lake. And what a cool fire place to keep us warm.

A little dark especially at the cooking area and in the toilet.

Comfortable quirky and scenic

10.0

Loved the decor, bath and the fire. The cake and eggs on arrival were a special touch. Van also gave us fresh tomatoes and chillies. Russells local knowledge led us to the Mystery Creek cave.

A great peaceful location and nice base to explore the south

10.0

Peaceful and great views of the river. Thoughtful hosts set up a roaring fire to start and made homemade teacake with berries.

The Oyster Shack is a fabulous retreat

10.0

Off the tourist track, but close to bushwalks, the caves and sightseeing. It was so quiet. And a walk through the property down to the cove with a myriad of oysters was fabulous. The shack had everything needed. And my hosts were so generous with gifts of fresh eggs, plums, chilli and more. Highly recommended. Would definitely stay here again.

The remoteness, the views and sun and moonrises. The location is great base for the South Coast track

Guest review

9.0

The tranquility, the rustic ambience of the wood cabin, and the magnificent views of the river from our windows and the deck. Welcoming hosts, the delicious cake and eggs on our arrival, and the plums on our departure. The cute padimelons coming out to say hello at dawn and dusk.

There was nothing to dislike.
