About this property

SALT COTTAGE - Pet Friendly, Stylish Holiday Home - prime beach location

SECLUDED, SUPERBLY LOCATED & STYLISH - this beautifully restored and renovated iconic 60's Australian beach house has all you could wish for. With everything supplied for a truly luxurious & relaxing stay, simply lie back and drink in the beautiful surrounds, or be as active as you choose. Located only 1 minute stroll from dog-friendly Werri Beach and its beautiful headland walks to the north & south, this fabulously styled & designer-decorated 3-bedroom rambling bungalow backs onto serene Werri Lagoon, with its abundant birdlife and views of rolling green hills and distant mountains.

With a north-easterly aspect, Salt Cottage enjoys cool cross-ventilation in summer, catching the sea-breezes from its many louvred windows, sliding doors and French doors, whilst also capturing the warm winter sun. Large decks on 3 sides of the house look onto lush gardens and the lagoon at the rear, which may be explored with the canoe from the house's private pontoon. Fall asleep to the sound of waves breaking on the nearby beach...

2 separate indoor lounge rooms, each with smart TV & DVD player - there's Netflix too. One outdoor lounge area, plus various other outdoor seating and alfresco dining options on the wrap-around verandahs and in the gardens, allow for both happy socialising or quiet contemplation.

A well-appointed, modern & fully-equipped kitchen stocked with essentials for those who love to cook, outdoor gas BBQ, lime and lemon trees in season, and award-winning cafes and restaurants are also only moments away. Several district wineries are also a short drive away.

A cosy wood fire with cut firewood provided in winter months, plus reverse-cycle air-conditioning enable the house to be enjoyed year-round. Free wi-fi access is also provided.

Hotel quality linen and towels are provided - just bring your beach towel!

The huge rear yard is fully fenced, making Salt Cottage perfectly child and dog friendly! A large, comfy dog bed is provided, for your four-legged family member. Leash-free area for dogs on the beach is only 100m away - dog heaven!

******Please note additional $50 charge per pet, per stay. Confirm pets with owner prior to booking.

High chair available on request. Please advise in your enquiry if you need a cot. These will need to be pre-arranged.

Lovely House at a great location
The property layout allows separation of sleeping and living areas. Its decorations are interesting, friendly and unintrusive. The back slopes down to the lake and bush behind. Very lovely! The neighbourhood is quiet and well-kept. The 5-minute walk to Werri Beach is easy and I love the beach with its headlands. Restaurants are a short drive away. I really like this place. :-)

Salt Cottage
We had a great Easter long weekend at Salt Cottage. The house was clean and tidy with everything that we needed. We loved our stay and the bonus of a secure back yard for the dog was appreciated. Location was perfect with a stroll to the beach

Centrally located getaway
Enjoyed our week relaxing in this clean and well equipped property. So close to the beach, Gerrigong shops and restaurants, and a short drive to Berry. Quiet neighboorhood, house is bright and airy inside and we all slept well. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Nicky

Host profile image
We are a professional couple (interior designer and I.T developer, respectively) and love that we can share our house with other people who appreciate a bit of style and comfort and want to have their pets with them on holiday and have them be safe - just like we do!

Why they chose this property

Because of its comfort, style and location. We had been visiting the South Coast for many years for our holidays, and always took our dogs with us. We were struck by how uninspired and dowdy the homes were which allowed pets. They usually looked much the worse for wear. We vowed ours would not be like that!

What makes this property unique

A pet-friendly home without sacrificing style or comfort. Amazing views at the rear of the house. Minutes away from beach and dog leash-free area. Close to village and all amenities.
