We had a lovely stay at this beachside cottage. Comfortable beds and plenty of space for the family. Our dog enjoyed many beach walks and the large garden. The dog wash station was great!

The house had everything we needed and it was so nice to have the port-a-cot and high-chair all set up and ready to go. Beds and furniture all very comfortable. Great to have the large secure yard for our dog too! Thanks again for a wonderful stay.

A great family home situated super close to the beach. Very comfortable beds and furniture and aircon which was a blessing as it was very hot the first few days we were there. Great bbq and outdoor area fully fenced which was great for our grandchildren.The house had a lovely vibe and was so easy to enjoy. We highly recommned this property and wouldn't hesitate to return.

The house was clean and cool when we arrived. A welcome relief from the hot weather outside. The home has decorations celebrating the loving nature of dogs and is equipped for a well-behaved pooch. We enjoyed a few lazy days here, venturing out for meals and relaxing in the beautiful front garden. Our dog was happy and calm, spending time in the shade outside.It was nice to know that when we came back sandy that there was a dog washing station available and a well secured yard space that we felt comfortable letting our dog explore with relaxed supervision.This property would be suitable for up to a group of four adults and two young children (and perhaps one or two relaxed dogs).

So perfect for our stay, loved the house, all the facilities, atmosphere and local area. Everything we could possibly need was there… including hand mixers and a cake pan to whip up a 1 year olds bday cake ❤️. Loved sitting on the outdoor lounge watching my dog run around the pretty front yard. The kitchen and bbq area perfect . We hope to stay again- we loved it.

We loved our stay with our two little dogs at The Salty Dog. The property was impeccably clean and beautifully presented. Safe and secure yard for our little ones and the owners have thought of absolutely everything in providing a lovely place to holiday. Very doggy friendly but also the perfect holiday house even without pets. Highly recommend to anyone 👌

My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Salty Dog Beach House and so did our pooch, being just a 3 minute walk to the beach was amazing. The The Salty Dog Beach House is a great place to base yourself from as its an easy drive to Wineries, Restaurants and Cafes, what a great place to take some time out and relax.
Thank you,

This property is amazing. It's everything you'd expect and more. The house and yard are perfect. Great for kids and dogs. Private yard and so close to the beach. All the little extras like doggy treats and great coffee and a beautifully decorated home that just makes you feel like like it's your home.
My family can't wait to stay here.
We would love to come back.
