‘Morgies’ story starts in the 1940’s, when the Morgan brothers from Sydney bought land along the then deserted Long Beach. Alan ‘Morgie’ Morgan and his wife Nan made a life there & opened the famous ‘Lobster Pot’ seafood restaurant in Batemans Bay town in the 1970's – just mention the name to any long term local!
The humble beach shack remained in the family and has just completed a total renovation, opening 2020. Leighton Brow and Carly Shulz (winners of House Rules and runners up of Reno Rumble) moved on site in their home on wheels, with their side kick 2yr old Bruce, and spent months pouring their heart and soul into transforming this special place. Linda Lee, freelance stylist and family friend, also spent time working with Carly & Leighton, influencing design, colour and style decisions. ‘Morgies’ has been restored with all modern amenities, all the while keeping the shacks former glory.
We welcome your stay here with the ocean metres from the front gate. Spend the days scouring the rockpools, swimming, fishing, and dusk on the balcony watching the sun set. Whatever your reason to stay we hope you love ‘Morgies’ as much as we do.
