Retro Shack, Cool, Pets, Beach!

Cool vibes meet coastal charm at Retro Shack located just 4minutes walk from the beach.

This pet- and family-friendly getaway offers a unique retro experience, with vintage style and thoughtful touches that blend nostalgia and comfort. It’s not about luxury—it’s about character, fun, and the beachside lifestyle. Perfect for relaxing, 🏄‍♀️ or exploring Torquay, Jan Juc and Great Ocean Road. This shack invites you to embrace laid-back living and a slice of Golden Days charm.
👟 Indoor Etiquette:
Most rooms have carpets, so we kindly ask that you remove your shoes indoors.

🌱 Plant Care:
To keep our plants happy and healthy, please keep the blinds up as much as possible, especially before check-out.

🐾 Pet Policy Reminder
A pet fee of $35 per day applies to all bookings with dogs. For everyone’s comfort, dogs must stay off all furniture and out of the beds, and all pet waste 💩 must be picked up before check-out. Extra cleaning fees will be charged if these rules aren’t followed.

We truly appreciate responsible dog owners (you’re the best! 🐶💛), and we’re sorry if this sounds a bit firm — but after a few not-so-great experiences, we need to be really clear.

Thanks so much for your understanding!
