LITTLE WHITE SHACK on the beach, Hardwicke Bay, Yorke Peninsular

LITTLE WHITE SHACK

Located on the sand dunes overlooking Hardwicke Bay our shack is absolute beach front with no road between you and the beach. While soaking up the 180-degree water views on the deck you can watch the kids playing on the beach or swimming in the shallow child friendly waters.

If you love a walk or drive on the beach, you’ll find a 15km stretch of unspoilt white sandy coastline to explore all the way to Port Turton just outside your front door. For those who like to go boating or fishing Hardwicke bay boasts some of the best squid and whiting fishing in SA.

The original fisherman’s shack has recently been renovated while still maintaining its “shack” feel and has an open living area integrated into the kitchen. Large stainless-steel bench tops and sink form the backbone of the kitchen and offer expansive bench space for food preparation. The kitchen is decked out with all modern appliances and high-quality chef knives, utensils, cutlery and crockery.
The sleeping quarters (2 adults and 4 children, 6 people in total) consist of 3 bedrooms the main with a queen size bed and 2 bunk rooms with a single bunk bed in each room.

Guests are asked to provide all towels, top and bottom bed sheets; Pillows, quilts and covers are provided for all beds.

*****If necessary, towels and sheets can be provided at a cost of $25/Bed.*****
*****An extra pet cleaning fee may be charged depending on the condition of the shack on departure.******

Serene and relaxing
Lovely shack, exactly as expected. Right on the beach front with glorious views of a lake like bay, bird life and stunning sunsets. A real beach shack that is very comfortable, has all you need for a chilled time away. We were there in November and had the beach practically to ourselves which meant there was no sound but that of nature. A must stay.

Perfect easy get away for families
Couldn’t think of a more idyllic location for families with children. The beach is right on your doorstep to enjoy from sun up ‘til sun down. Whether fossicking in the rock pools for crabs, swimming in the calm, kid friendly shallow waters, kayaking or just enjoying leisurely strolls along the shore line - there is something for everyone. The cottage was well appointed with all the creature comforts to make our stay easy and enjoyable whilst maintaining an authentic shack feel. A little slice of heaven, will definitely book again.

Absolutely charming
This is a lovely place to stay. The ocean views from the comfort of the deck (and lounge) are spectacular. It was clean and well stocked. The kids loved being able to splash about on the beach just meters away while we watched from the comfort of our deck chairs. Charming and relaxing, would highly recommend!

Wonderful winter getaway
Another relaxing winter break. Still able to enjoy our walks on the beach with our dogs despite the wind, then sit back & relax by the fire in The Little White Shack. Nothing better than watching the sea in the middle of winter in the warm with a nice bottle of red and a good book. Ben was extremely prompt answering our queries. Until next winter 😊

Great Location
Enjoyable holiday, lovely view of the water from the shack, especially out on the deck. The shack was great and had most things you would need to cook meals etc. Nice secluded spot when we went at the end of April, would definitely recommend the little white shack for a restful getaway.

Perfection!
Absolutely Perfect! The location was amazing with a view to die for. The range of blues in the ocean from aqua to deep blue were captivating. Photos do not do the view justice. Absolute beach front and easy walk down to the beach and water. The veranda was protected from the wind with mid morning to afternoon sun & side deck captured the morning sun. We spent hours on the deck. The house was fitted out well, comfortable and had a great atmosphere. Beds & furniture were very comfortable. Ye Olde Cafe is great place for breakfast 20min down the road at Minlaton & nice Taverns at Point Turton & Marion Bay. The shack is also fully equipped to self cater. Thanks Ben, the stay at your shack really made our holiday!

Amazing little white shack
Exactly as described. You had everything you needed. We stayed when temp was nearly 40 degrees and the split system worked a treat. Beds comfortable. Great lounging space. Deck was absolutely brilliant to watch the scenery, tides, sunrises and sunsets. Cooked up chilli mussels and sat on the outdoor table eating and drinking, life doesn't get much better than that! Awesome memories made!! Our little group including my dog Murphy loved our stay and would give it an 12 out of 10.
