Aaaah the serenity… we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend at the simple but charming Pretty Beach Shack. Clean and comfortable with funky decor. We spent most of our time on the deck soaking in the views,... hanging out with the many feathered friends who dropped by.
Communication with owners was excellent.
Fantastic place for a chilled getaway

We had a lovely weekend away from Sydney here. It was very quiet and tranquil. We were greeted by an array of lovely birds on the veranda. We loved the books and games that the place provided too. The...re was a coffee machine there too, which was a nice surprise. My only suggestion would be atleast one screen door on one of the doors out to the veranda, it was really hot, however due to mosquitos and bugs we had to keep the doors closed in the evenings and use a fan. None the less, we had a great stay

Hi, we're a Sydney family lucky enough to also enjoy the joys of a simple beach house on the beautiful central coast. We've had the privilege of host over 150 people at our beach house and look forward to hosting you.

Stroll Around To Wagstaffe
Well steeped in serene small town warm fuzzy vibes there's harbour postcard views, pelicans, a great children's playground and an iconic decorated bus stop.
Boating On The Bay
Enjoy beautiful boating on the still waters of Hardy's Bay.
Fishing
Chuck a line into Hardy's Bay and pull out a lovely Flounder or Snapper for dinner. You can chuck it onto the BBQ back at the shack.
Al Fresco Dinner And A Sunset At The View
There can’t be better pizza than The View, and the shop next door stocks the best wines. If someone forgot to bring wine glasses they’ll even give you classy plastic cups with a smile! Deliriously happy al fresco pizza and watching the storm roll in. Love this place!
Poke Bowl At Killcare
I scoffed a top-notch Poke bowl from the highly recommended The Fat Goose and it did not disappoint. There’s a multitude of helpful signs down here of all the fun things you can do and hire.
Stay A While At Killcare Bogey Hole
At Killcare beach I found the Bogey Hole, a beautiful and inviting giant rockpool. Daydreaming about never leaving. Floating in calm water under blue skies etc the only thing to eventually motivate leaving this living postcard was the realisation of just how much-too-long in the sun we were. Excellently tanned, salty and parched, perusing the quality eats beach kiosk, I was charmed by smiling staff, epic menu options, chatting locals, book exchange library, friendly dogs to pat.
