"The Retreat" Grasstree Beach Shacks

Beachside and central on Grasstree Beach.

Self contained 2 bedroom unit on the second floor with ocean views from most rooms.

One of the more secluded beachside locations in the Mackay region. Appealing to those recluses or those seeking the tranquility of a small beach community.

This is a low tempo, relaxed location that feels like a local's only haunt.

No shops or public transportation at Grasstree Beach make this somewhere enjoyed by those who like to get away from the rat race.

Just the place
The beach hut 2nd floor is just the place to unwind and take it easy and also just the place to carry out your day to day work. we had a fantastic time there and would stay there again and just might September 2019. Also what is the brand of those pillows?

Fantastic Retreat!
I am writing on behalf of my husband and his friends wo had a "Mens Fishing Week" I have heard nothing but praise about their stay at the Writers Retreat. The fellas commented on how great the accommodation was and how friendly and informative the owner and locals were. They all had a fantastic time and are talking about going more often. But Hubby has to take me and the kids before he has another fishing week. Hopefully we will see you all soon. ;)

Relax, Recharge, Renew
The only thing hard about coming to The Shacks is having to leave! This is our second visit and we have again found the peace and tranquility needed to escape our busy working lives. Thank you Anthony! We will be back! What a beautiful getaway!

Relaxing, peaceful and tranquil getaway
We needed to get away from our busy lives for a weekend and hear the sound of the ocean and wow! It was wonderful! Lovely, tidy modern unit with an awesome view of rolling waves and old fashioned feeling like you are back in the 70s without a care in the world!

Awesome relaxation
We totally enjoyed our stay here. The peace and quiet was amazing. The sunsets were to die for. We will come and stay here again when time permits. All the comforts of a home away from home.
