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.
