BSA club rally stay
The Shack was a great base for our weekend with a group of people staying elsewhere in Goolwa.Place was clean and all we needed. We were out both days and sorry we didn’t get to lounge around the property a bit more. Great affordable place to stay for a restful weekend. I really enjoyed talking to your uncle over the fence Sunday morning Nat.

Plenty of room to spread out, great shower but limited hot water and the bed was really comfortable, but a bit odd go outside to use the toilet! The couch was uncomfortable and dirty and throw smelt doggy and the bedding was highly perfumed.
