We thoroughly enjoyed our stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this house. It was extremely spacious, clean and well maintained. It has everything we were looking for in a holiday house. The pool table was a massive hit with the teenagers.

Beautiful house in beautiful setting
The Salt House was immaculately clean, very spacious, had comfortable beds and a very well equipped kitchen. The location is certainly beautiful, but we found the constant roar of 80km/h traffic on Lemon Tree Passage Road to be very loud. However, the house is perfect as a base from which to explore the surrounding beaches and all the many things the Port Stephens has to offer. We loved taking our dog to Tanilba Bay (5 mins away), and to Birubi Beach. Fly Point was great for snorkelling, and the Inner Light Tea Room (restaurant) has great views (you can bring your dog!). The Oakvale Wildlife Park was a great place to visit too. The nearest Coles is in Tanilba Bay (5 mins), so that was very convenient.

Lovely Home
Beautiful home. Would be great for kids to explore. BYO beach towels is a given but very strange to have to supply your own bath towels. If you get stuck like we did, Woollies down the road sells towels. Otherwise, this property is a 10 out of 10.

Living with nature at its best
My family and friends absolutely loved the Salt house and its location. So close to the nature away from the hustle-bustle of the Nelson bay yet a short drive to the very best beaches in Port Stephens. Kids loved the games room and riding mountain bikes in the bush. Great deck and backyard offering space for a big group. Neighbor was lovely and so helpful who provided us with local knowledge and info on attractions Port Stephens got to offer. Looking forward to staying at the Salt house again in the near future, waking up to the bird noice, spending the day at the beach and relaxing back at the Salt house in the afternoon.
