Reviews
Perfect stay in Gerringong
Sally K - 12th August 2024Had a fabulous weekend stay at the Werri Shack. The house was perfect for a weekend stay. House was better in real life than the photos. Had everything you could want. Balcony was lovely. Couldn't recommend highly enough. 😊
Amazing balcony
Fiona C - 14th July 2024Loved the upstairs and varanda!
Autumn Sunrise
Jane W - 25th March 2024We thoroughly enjoyed the daily sunrise, sunset, short walk to the shops and the verandah space for our family of eight adults.
Superbly comfortable
Megan R - 18th February 2024Werri Shack is everything you want in a beach house. Beautifully styled, comfortable, well-equipped and close to beaches and the lovely rock pools. A five minute walk to the local shops and restaurants/cafes. It was very quiet, the beds were comfortable and the fans kept us cool on hot summer nights. It was great to have good non-stick pans and sharp knives. We would definitely stay again.
A wonderful location for a family holiday.
Pippa W - 21st January 2024We've just returned from a beautiful week at The Werri Shack. We loved our stay. Stunning views, gorgeous decor , a well stocked pantry and everything we needed for a relaxed family holiday with our fur baby. Highly recommend this property.
Perfect for a Girls Weekend Away
Rosemary P - 26th November 2023The Shack is great for a friends weekend away. Great views out to the ocean and beach make sitting on the balcony with a cuppa just delightful. The house has all you need with the kitchen well equiped. A short walk to the shops for a coffee and a shop make it tick all the boxes.
Magnificent
Wendy S - 14th November 2023Absolutely Beautiful as soon as you open the door The views are magnificent We had a fantastic time
Fantastic views
Samantha S - 23rd October 2023Great place to meet up with friends and spend the weekend with fantastic beach views, plenty of space and places to sit.
Brilliant Long weekend
Chris S - 15th August 2023Wonderful house for a long weekend - beautifully presented with an amazing deck/view and close to shops. But be careful going down the drive in a big car - it's narrow !!!.
The Werri Shack
Alexandra - 30th May 2023This property was absolutely gorgeous! The decor of the house is warm and inviting. The views are absolutely amazing! With an added bonus of close proximity to the local beach and the shops. Our family thoroughly enjoyed the stay! ✨
Fantastic place
Paul - 24th May 2023Thank you so much. It was our first time in a while that we had a get away with our boys. We had a wedding at the Mercure and it was perfect for our stay. The place was clean and my wife was so amazed at all the utensils, plates, just kitchen thing’s available. It had the best view and the whole place was more than expected. Thank you so much.
WOW - What an amazing location!!! Can
Alex A - 24th March 2023I recently stayed at the Werri Shack and from the moment I walked through the front door, I was so impressed! Greeted by an amazing ocean view, you instantly relax from the moment you arrive. Its a 3 minute walk down to the beach or the shops. The beds are super super comfy and plenty of spots to find your little place if you want some me time! CANT WAIT TO GET BACK THERE AGAIN!
Molto Bene
Steph - 26th November 2022Thanks for sharing your beautiful view with the wider world! Dining on your deck, overlooking the northern aspect of Werri Beach & Rose Valley was just magic. The property was so well stocked with everything guests need to ensure they enjoy a pleasant stay. Thanks again for hosting us. We will be back.
Great house with atmosphere
Kate M - 9th November 2022We had a lovely family break at The Werri Shack Everything we need was provided. Thank you for making our family feel so welcome. Hope to visit again for a longer stay.
Midweek coastal escape
Zafirea F - 8th October 2022Our family of four & our beloved dog had a wonderful midweek getaway at The Werri Shack. From the moment we opened the front door the house welcomed us in. Lots of space for everyone to sit back, relax & take in the gorgeous view of Werri beach & the coastal headlands. Walking distance to town for all that we needed. We loved it & can’t wait head back!
Wonderful beach home
Claire M - 30th September 2022A lovely home with an awesome view of the ocean and a fantastic large deck to relax. The home itself is well equipped, cosy and has comfy beds as well as a great games room. What’s more, it is in a great location less than 10 mins to both the beach and main shopping & cafe strip plus its dog friendly. Highly recommend
Lovely house, great view
Vicki - 24th July 2022House is well equipped and comfortable. Gas fire is tricky to get started once started it performs well. Kept lovely and warm. Thanks for a great stay.
Comfortable stay & spectacular views!
Natalie K - 22nd June 2022This property exceeded our expectations. A very clean, relaxing and well-equipped place that has everything you could possibly need for an amazingly comfortable stay. Loved the spacious deck and its stunning ocean views! Perfect located to beach & shops. Highly recommend!
So happy we stayed here
Laura Z - 15th May 2022We had the best weekend at Werri Beach Shack.. great location, amazing views, great decor & pet friendly. We are so happy we stayed here.
Great Easter break
Kristine - 19th April 2022All good thanks
werri shack xmas 2021-22
Kristine H - 14th January 2022Fabulous house, great view, balcony the best feature, great meeting/dining/chillin' spot.
Great place
Rob L - 6th January 2022My family really relaxed here. Had everything we needed
A gorgeous place in an excellent location.
leanne m - 7th December 2021A stones throw from the café strip and a short walk down to the beach, this is a prime location. Gorgeous interiors, quality beds and linen, and all the extra kitchen appliances make this a very comfortable place to stay. And with its enormous covered deck (with heating) and games aplenty, we were kept fully entertained on our wet weekend away. We look forward to a return visit in better weather.
Absolutely amazing!!
Shane S - 7th November 2021My family and I wanted to take our mother away for an amazing and chilled belated birthday weekend away and the Werri Shack sure did deliver. The house itself is beautifully laid out, functional and great for kids with the games room downstairs and plenty of backyard space. The house is located close to the beach and the view from the upper deck is amazing. We highly recommend the Werri Shack to anyone looking for a chilled weekend away with the family or a group of friends.
More than a shack
Simone K - 24th June 2021From the moment we entered The Werri Shack we were in holiday mode. Straight to the veranda to gaze out at the ocean, with the timing being right saw our first whale of the season. The home is obviously very well maintained and cared for, styled by a professional - artistically and practically. Extremely comfy beds, plenty of room with a well appointed kitchen where you can make your coffee whilst checking the surf. Having the table tennis was a plus for our family too. We’ll be back for sure
Fantastic
Karen A - 7th June 2021We stayed here for a long weekend and it was fantastic. The house was great, spacious, light and bright and had everything that you could need for a weekend away. Location was fantastic as well. Within walking distance to the beach, the park and the beautiful town/restaurants. Heating was great and it was lovely to have the gas heater for out on the balcony allowing us to enjoy the outdoor space. The yard was also fantastic and our dog loved the neightbours' dog who was very friendly.
Wonderful house complete with whale watching from the deck
Jackie C - 4th June 2021This house was fantastic. It was very clean and comfortable, and it was wonderful watching whales and the pumping surf from the deck. The neighbour and his dog were great - they came out when we first got there just to make sure our dogs would get along (since the dogs would be able to see each other through the fence separating the two backyards). Looking forward to booking my next stay at the Werri Shack!
The home will not disappoint! Beautiful views and a great house for relaxing with family or friends. Also just a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops! Highly recommended!
Great location, super family friendly, great view, super beachy vibes, comfy beds, even the day beds downstairs that convert to beds are super comfy! Fully equipped kitchen means you don’t have to go out for food, but is a 5 min easy walk if you want to go out!
Family holiday
Rosalind M - 4th January 2021Very comfortable, clean, some windows hard to open (hence our problem in bedroom downstairs). Kitchen well equipped, problem with upstairs TV getting free to air and Netflix, a few extra bath towels recommended, would give a 5 star if driveway/parking had been easier but overall we enjoyed our family Xmas very much.
We love this house
Josie M - 22nd November 2020We’ve stayed here twice. The deck is huge and wonderful for relaxing. The style of the house is gorgeous, but it’s not so perfect you can’t relax. Downstairs is great to give older kids their own space. And it’s so sensible that a few basic supplies are already there. Nothing worse than only being left one dishwasher tablet and no salt and pepper!
The Werri Shack was a lovely home for a large group. It is just like the photos and is wonderfully decorated. The kitchen provided many amenities that were very useful, and many cleaning supplies were provided. The only downside of this house, is the lack of sound proofing. From the rooms downstairs, every noise made upstairs can be heard. Many of us found it very difficult to sleep as even walking at a normal pace and not thumping, can be heard very clearly. Otherwise we had a lovely time here, and particularly enjoyed the beautiful view of the beach from the top deck. Would stay again.
Place was really clean, beautifully styled with all the little touches thought of. Amazing location and walking distance to beach and shops. The deck was a stand out and our dog loved the backyard!
Loved it
Gerard R - 2nd October 2020Great space, perfect location. We hope to be back one day soon.
We stayed for 2 night with our friends and dogs and we all enjoyed the property. Plenty of room for everyone and very close to the town centre, beach and coastal walk (all walking distance).
Great location
Heidi - 19th September 2020Close to the beach and shops. Property is quite private and well decorated. Wonderful view of the beach from the balcony.
Werri Shack is impeccable!
Sandra - 17th September 2020Werri Shack is impeccable and the atmosphere instantly inviting and relaxing. Unbeatable views and location. Charlie Cavoodle also gives the paws up!
Lovely!
Anonymous - 31st August 2020The Werri Shack is a lovely, relaxing, clean property with beautiful views.
Peaceful retreat
GMCD - 23rd February 2020Very spacious and well equipped house on a quiet residential street in Gerringong. A short walk to Werri beach and Gerringong town centre. Recommended.

Would Love To Visit Again!
eholm - 30th December 2019Amazing place to holiday with teenagers and dogs. The downstairs area [is the] perfect place for the kids to have their own space. Brilliantly equipped kitchen as well - made cooking etc a pleasure. Would love to visit again!
Perfect for teenagers
Emma - 14th December 2019Bought three teenage boys down for a four night stay during the first week of Christmas school holidays to get them away from technology etc. The set up of the place is amazing. The boys spent most of their relaxation time playing table tennis, playing footy in the yard or relaxing in the rumpus room. Also had two dogs in tow - the place is great for them as well. The yard is secure and the balcony a great spot for them to snooze in the sun. The place is also well suited for the adults. The kitchen is very well equipped and there are ample spots to sit and get into a good book. Overall highly recommended.
Perfect Location!
Pamela - 8th November 2019This was such a pleasant surprise for myself, partner and our dog. The property is exceptionally well-maintained, with good quality linen and bathroom towels. The entire home is immaculate and offers extensive views over Werri Beach. We loved every minute of our 5 day stay here. We immediately felt comfortable and relaxed. The beach, restaurants and shops are all within walking distance. Thank you so much - we will be back soon!
Stunning Views

SueD - 7th March 2019Fantastic, absolutely loved it! We'll be back! We would recommend this property.
Casual, relaxed beatifully appointed beach house!
Jason - 26th February 2019As you look at the photos, the shack looks wonderful. They do not do it justice however. The view is vastly superior and the rooms are generously large. The interior design of the shack is modern, well thought out and very relaxed. There is everything you need in this one and a distinct attention to detail. A short walk to the beach and halfway up the hill to the high street. In a very quiet street, so typically Australian and relaxed. We will certainly grab this one again when returning to see family in Gerringong. High recommend it for its ease of check-in process, style, relaxed and comfortable interiors, the view and proximity to both the High Street and the beach! Well done and thank you.
Wonderful
KerrieAP - 3rd February 2019Wonderful holiday home with fabulous views! Really lovely decor.
