Waterfront Luxury 2 bedroom apr-Shellcove
Our experience with the property manager and the unit itself was nothing short of brilliant and comfortable . The surrounding areas felt untidy and although new they did not look clean and inviting . We found Shell Harbour itself much better with restaurants and beaches etc
