Midweek coastal escape
Our family of four & our beloved dog had a wonderful midweek getaway at The Werri Shack. From the moment we opened the front door the house welcomed us in. Lots of space for everyone to sit back, relax & take in the gorgeous view of Werri beach & the coastal headlands. Walking distance to town for all that we needed. We loved it & can’t wait head back!

As soon as we stepped in the door we were in love with the home. The styling was beautiful, bedding super comfortable. We spent hours enjoying the deck on both sunny and rainy days, the view never gets old. Lots of fun playing ping pong too!

Gorgeously styled and equipped with everything!
I am actually sitting on the couch looking at the ocean at Werri Shack as I write this. We are all so very sad to have to return home. This place had everythibg for the kids in their own space which they loved. I am a massive fan of cooking and was extremely impressed with the kitchen facilities. The outdoor and indoor living spaces are also amazing - and lastly great proximity to town! We will be back!!

What a great spot for a weekend getaway
We arrived a little early, no problem checking in and the process was simple. There was an abundance of utensils to use and everything was spotless. We loved bringing our dog and she was safe in the fenced yard. Overall very good value....

Overall a great property but the gas heater would not light so cold in the mornings and quite a few plates and cutlery were dirty. We did appreciate the early check in and the Mecca sunscreen.
