Lovely cottage in Shoalhaven heads
Shoal Cottage was a lovely relaxing place for our trip. Our child loved the bunk beds!! There were a lot of great things for her actually with a backyard, sandpit, toys and games. We loved spotting birds from the backyard and out by the river. Mozzies were pretty bad at the time and we really appreciated the can of Aerogard available when we arrived. Lifesaver!

Lovely cottage
We had a wonderful stay. Lots of walks along the beautiful beach, a day in Berry and a bit of cycling too. The cottage is very comfortable and the yard was great for our dog. We enjoyed toasting marshmallows on the fire pit and appreciated Netflix. Great communication from Laura. Would love to come back again.

Our family of three (plus our dog) loved staying at Shoal Cottage. The sunny backyard was so nice we spent hours out there every day, and the house was also perfect for a relaxing break. We went for long walks on the beach (after coffee and doughnuts from the surf club kiosk) and also enjoyed walking along the river at dusk. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Clean Property, Perfect location
We had such a nice extra long weekend stay at shoal cottage.. was rather comfortable & so clean & tidy. We loved the close proximity to everything.. beach, river, pump track, doggy park, pub, cafe, takeaway shops.. the woodfire pizza place up the road was one of the best we’ve tasted. Hopefully we’ll get back down there soon.. Thankyou Laura

Home Away from Homr
The stay wasn't long enough. Everything we needed was there, even a dog bowl & a mat. A bottle of sparkling & beer were waiting for us and the whole experience felt as though a friend had let us stay. Everything we needed to know about the local area was at our disposal and we can only wish to stay longer to explore it all. It was an absolutely perfect getaway from the stress of life. Bruce (our white labrador) had an absolute ball and probably enjoyed his time away more than we did. We will definitely be back and for much longer to appreciate the beauty and comfort that shoal cottage and shoalhaven has to offer.

Cozy cottage
The location could not be better, being walking distance from everything. The cottage was the perfect home away from home. It had a fantastic backyard for a family, which could be enjoyed year round with the large fire pit ... my dog certainly loved exploring it. It was clean, cosy and very thoughtfully stocked with cooking essentials and toiletries which was a lovely welcome. Thank you Laura, we really enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful lakeside home only a short walk to all the beauty that Shoalhaven Heads has to offer. We enjoyed our stay in the lovely Shoal cottage - a wonderful big backyard with sand pit and slippery dip for the little ones to play and run around in, and a fire pit to sit around and toast marshmallows at night. We look forward to staying again :)

Family & dog friendly relaxing cottage
We loved it. Cold wine & beer on arrival. Our dog loved running around the grass in the backyard while we sat around the fire. There was a cot for our baby to sleep in. We walked to the beach, river, shops and cafe. The kitchen was set up with all we needed to cook. We also ate out at nearby Bangalay Dining. Overall the experience was easy, relaxing & we felt safe. Thank you to the owners.

A piece of paradise!
We had the most amazing time whilst staying at Shoal Cottage. From the minute we arrived we all felt so relaxed and at home. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully presented. The beds were just right and we all had wonderful ‘holiday sleeps’. The huge garden was a highlight for the kids and our dog, and being able to toast marshmallows over the fire pit was awesome. Great coffee and the beach just a stroll away as is the pub. Attention to detail was second to none. Can’t wait to stay again!
