Salty Paws Dog Friendly Luxe Cottage

: :New Additions: : front fenced garden area for your dogs, flyscreens on all doors and windows, Nespresso coffee machine.

Set on the hill in San Remo, the cottage has stunning water views to Westernport Bay. Relax on the deck and watch the tides change.
This colorful and comfortable home with established gardens is walking distance to a dog friendly beach (summer restrictions apply) and the local township with bars, cafes and shops.
Full kitchen, 2 bedrooms, bathroom and open living / dining space which looks out over the deck. Fully fenced for your dogs.

Host and her dogs live onsite, with completely separate entrances and garden spaces.

A bit more about the space:

Salty Paws cottage is a comfortable, light filled space set in beautiful gardens with stunning views over Westernport Bay.

The bedrooms have orthopedic quality mattresses with 1000 thread count sheet sets and fluffy wool quilts.

The bathroom has a deep luxurious bath and shower with Dindi Naturals shampoo, conditioner, hand / body wash and moisturiser provided for your use, including bubble bath for a relaxing treat.

The lounge has cosy sofas, with Netflix and wifi provided, and a full kitchen with everything you need to cook up a storm.

In winter firewood will be provided with everything you need to get the Coonara going for some extra warmth. (Cottage also has split system heating.)

The cottage is complimented with a wrap around balcony, with chairs for lounging and a dining setting, the perfect place to enjoy watching the sun set after a bbq on the Webber. There is also a gate on the balcony and fencing around the front garden to keep your dogs safe.

For the doggies I provide a toy basket, some beds on the deck (dogs are allowed inside too,) dog towels and blankets for those that can’t resist sitting on the furniture. I also have a hot/cold water tap on the balcony with Dindi Naturals dog shampoo to wash away the sand and mud after fun adventures.

Salty Paws is a 15 minute walk to the local ‘Foots Beach’ a popular surfing spot with a lovely bay for swimming and is also dog friendly.
Dog restrictions apply in January.

It’s also a 15 minute walk to the town with pubs, restaurants, cafes and clothing/homewares shops.

Guest access:
The cottage is accessed from the front garden up some stairs on the balcony.

There is one guest parking space in the driveway (in front of the garage) any additional cars can park on the street or on my nature strip.

Please note there are stairs to the cottage.

The best dog friendly retreat

This is a fantastic place to stay with your four legged friends. Fantastic facilities and a quiet location that is close to all the shops and walks you need to have a wonderful stay. Exceptionally comfortable home with great views. We will certainly be back and we can’t rate Alicia as a host highly enough.

Family Christmastime away

We loved our stay at salty paws cottage. The location is close to main street and every day we walked our two dogs on the beach. Alicia was a great host, providing comfortable and lovely accommodation with lots of little extras like hand soap, body wash and coffee pods. We also love out stone present as a memory

We’ll be back !

We really enjoyed staying at Salty Paws as did our dog . Coming from inner city Melbourne having morning coffee with a sea view was a treat in itself. Best dog beach we’ve been to only a 15-20 min drive away. The property was absolutely spotless and everything we could have wished for. Do yourself a favour and stay at Salty Paws

Time out in San Remo

The property was everything we hoped for; clean, comfortable, perfect view of the Bay, and great location for access to local interests. Our host, Alicia, was very friendly and at the same time gave us the space you want when on holiday. No complaints, would definitely recommend this property to others spending time along the Bass Coast

Beautiful beach getaway

We had such an amazing time at Salty Paws cottage. The place was so bright, clean and spacious and Alicia provided so many little extras that made the trip so much more enjoyable. Location is great, just a 15 minute stroll into town and the views from the deck are absolutely breathtaking. Our puppies had the best time also and Alicia thoughtfully provided so many little extras for them also. We would definately recommend and would absolutely stay here again :)

A piece of Paradise.

We couldn't be happier with our stay at Salty Paws. Alicia was so friendly and obliging, the cottage was beautifully appointed, it had everything we could possibly want or need, and the water views were amazing. Easy access to shops & restaurants, and the fact that we could take our little dog along was icing on the cake. We will definitely be back.
