About this property

Shack on the Edge Waterfront

We are currently renovating ‘The Shack’ to make it even more wonderful to stay in. We are putting in a new kitchen and upgrading the bathroom and we are taking our time to get it just right. We are looking forward to reopening when it is finished.
Kind regards
Sue and Doug
