The location was fantastic (a short walk to the beach and main street), the unit was comfortable, nicely furnished and well equipped. Barbara phoned while we were on-route to ensure she was there to meet and greet us. Parking was no problem and as it was a ground floor unit, carrying bags in did not pose a issue. Overall, a...

A beautiful, well appointed and clean room, ruined by an extremely rude owner. Sadly he does not know how to engage with guests. We were offended because we were treated as if we were not welcome, and yet we were paying guests.

We stayed at Pelicans Rest for one night before flying out of Sydney back to Canada. Our room was very clean and comfortable. It included a small efficiency kitchen but we opted to walk a short walk into town for our meals. We would recommend this accommodation very highly.

just by chance i was filcking through google and found this perfect gem. A beautiful location, 5 mins walk to the center of town via the beach with a Teppenyarki restaurant worth paying for. Accommadation was Tranquil, lovely setting, very comfortable sleep and the owners were so hospitable. Will be there in the future for sure.

After a harrowing flight into Sydney on a stormy night and the milk run shuttle service to Shellharbour, i felt like a Pelican that needed a rest. Barbara had waited up late and delivered my emergency pizza to my room. I was thinking I would have to eat teabags and lipstick for dinner that night!! To Dominos online ordering I... More
