The Yabby Shack....sit back, relax and unwind

The Yabby Shack is a very comfortable and affordable lakeside cottage. It is a short stroll to the lake, beach, bowling club and local shops. Sit out on the deck and enjoy a relaxing stay. With the beach and lake a few minutes walk away you are guaranteed to have an enjoyable day either fishing or swimming , boating or just catching up with a good book on the beach. The local Bowls Club is a must for a really enjoyable and affordable meal. Rainbow Beach at Bonny Hills is just a short drive away. Sit back under the whispering Sheoaks and soak up the atmosphere. Port Macquarie is just up the road where you can catch up with a bit of shopping, take in a port side restaurant or cafe and enjoy the the most comfortable climate on the east coast. Actually the whole area has a lot to offer. There are some great drives and walks to the west with some famous old town like Wauchope and Comboyne to visit . Anyway.....as we said...sit back, relax and unwind !!!

This property was very close (4 mins) from where we needed to be in Lake Cathie and so was excellent. The kitchen had everything one could possibly want and more. The beds were very comfortable and there was ample hot water for our group of 5. I tripped and broke an item and when I told the host David he could not have been nicer about it which made me feel so much better. Our group was aged from 7-78 years.

Relaxing and peaceful
The Yabby shack was a lovely place to escape and relax, lovely view from the large sunfilled deck and short walk to lake and beach. Shops nearby for essentials and coffee shop just over the bridge, only a 20min drive to Port Macquarie, lots of things to do and places to see if you so desire. The house is very homely and we felt instantly relaxed, had everything we needed, would have loved to have stayed longer. Great location.

Lovely Spot
We stayed at the Yabby Shack whilst visiting some family in the area. The location is wonderful. Great views of the water from upstairs. You enter the house upstairs where the living and kitchen annd bathroom are joined by two bedrooms. The downstairs is reached by an external staircase off the rear balcony, which did separate our family members a fair bit. While it’s an older feeling property, the decor is cheerful and is happy and relaxing. Id definitely recommend it to people who want to enjoy the seaside location on a budget.
