The SHACK
07/Jan/2008
The Shack is not what the name implies (it is short for Shoalhaven Heads Apex Cottages for Kids) and it is located on the South Coast at Shoalhaven Heads. It is a complex of six villas and we have just spent the last week of the October school holidays there.
We all had a great time, there is lots to do like having a game of golf across the road, swimming at the local pool which is just down the road in walking distance, the beach is only 200 metre walk from The Shack for a relaxing walk or a swim or surf, we did lots of fishing off the wharf on the river, bike riding this is great because it is so flat, in fact I don't think it there is a hill in Shoalhaven Heads at all. My two boys Thomas and Edward think that the skateboard ramp is just the best.
The other great thing is that over the years we have met some lovely people that have been staying there. Only one family with CF is there at the same time, so there is no need to worry about cross infection. The other people that go there all have children that have a disability of some form or another. My boys always seem to pal up with other children that are staying there and have a great time.
Nowra is just about 20 mins drive away if you want to go shopping, to the movies or have a game of ten pin bowling. Berry is also just a short drive away with has great little shops full of antiques and craft. Lots of cafes, pubs and the Berry Pies shop and donut van, which serves freshly cooked hot donuts Yum Yum - (good CF food).
So why not give it a go, it is a great place to stay, low cost, doesn't take long to get there if you live in or about Sydney. You can make it all you want it to be a relaxing holiday or as we found that the kids just wanted to everything in one day.
There are a few opportunities for holidays in Shoalhaven, Ulladulla, Bateman’s Bay and Forster. We have bookings available for the Easter holidays at Shoalhaven and Ulladulla for families with children who have CF.
