The Crab Shell was a lovely property to stay in and its location was perfect for us. The property was very comfortable and the attention to detail made our stay feel luxurious. We will definitely be returning.

Comfortable accommodation in the perfect setting. We had a wonderful time here. The view over the estuary is stunning. It's just a short walk to restaurants through the picturesque Irsha Street. What a find!
