Summary: We stayed at MacShak for a second time after we had such a great time last January. We love MacMasters Beach and the house is great. We enjoyed the well appointed kitchen and the fact that our dogs were welcome. We spent a lot of time on the veranda overlooking the bush with large gumtrees. Cockatoos, kookaburras and king parrots came to visit every day. You can walk to a spot on the cliff top for an ocean sunrise. The beach is a stroll down the hill away. We had a fabulous time!
