Welcome to Shellies on the Beach, where vintage charm meets modern contemporary living. This 2-bedroom beach house offers an exclusive retreat with direct access to Sawtell Beach. The home has been fully renovated to provide a fresh, modern environment while preserving its 70s soul.

The home's single bathroom is complemented by an outdoor bath and beach shower, perfect for rinsing off under the stars or after a day on the sand.

The outdoor entertaining area is a true highlight, set amongst rainforest dunes, offering a serene dining experience in your private garden courtyard, complete with a fun cabana and BBQ.
Please note that the loft bedroom is accessed via a strong sturdy fixed ladder. There is a trapdoor that can be closed when in the loft for safety.

There is a very comfy lounge in the ground floor living room as a backup if the loft is not for you. There is also the main bedroom on the ground floor. Most guests love the sense of adventure and quirkiness that the loft provides, and it's always a hit with the kids.

Pets can be accommodated on request, but must be approved prior. There will be a small additional charge per pet. We do ask however that they not be allowed in the dunes or beach due to local restrictions to protect native flora and fauna.

Perfect for extended families or groups of friends that want to travel together and also have their own space.

Shellie's on the Beach
The most perfect place to stay. As an art teacher I personally loved the little touches of art, sculpture and collection of books. Our family had the most wonderful time and will certainly be back.

Short family vacation
Location of the property was fantastic - path to beach right outside our door and easy walk into Main Street for cafes restaurants and shops Family of 3 so the loft was perfect for our son but would not be suited to a second couple wanting privacy. Check in and check out was easy and communication with owners also easy We loved our stay here
