Had a lovely stay at Salamander Bay, so close to the beach and short walk to a great coffee shop. So much room for us all and so nice not having to make beds, So lovely watching the sunrise over the water from the balcony. Will definitely be coming back. Thank you Julie for being so helpful and quick with your responses.

Family perfect
Great stay with children and grandchildren. Close to everything and Julie the host was remarkable.
This property was such a treat! We love having our two dogs with us and the large fenced in backyard was perfect for them, we felt so good knowing we could go out for a dinner and we didn’t need to worry about them at all! Julie was such a great host, she was quick to respond to any of our questions and truly was above and beyond to accommodate us. The house has such a lovely outlook over the water and it was so nice to head out the front door and in just a few feet the water is lapping at your toes! I’m looking forward to coming back to enjoy the Port Stephen’s area and I would come back to stay here in a heartbeat! Thanks so much for having us! Tim & Jes

Beautiful house to share with friends
Had such a fantastic weekend with long time friends . The house was so clean and spacious and perfect for the 5 of us to relax and catch up . We loved having drinks on the deck and walking to the beach . Had a beautiful meal from the local Thai as well as an amazing dinner at Rick Steins which is only a short distance away. Julie is a superb host . Highly recommend this place

The close proximity to the water was an added bonus.

Convenient location with all basic amenities included
The property suited our beach getaway with friends ( 4 adults, 4 kids and a dog). Location was close to beaches and salamander shops. Kitchen had all the things we needed and the property provided all the space required so everyone could have some quiet time as well. Note, there is one airconditioning unit in the living room and there is no airconditioning in the rooms (only ceiling fans) - therefore the upstairs bedrooms can be a little stuffy if it was a very hot day.

House had all the little extras and a responsive property manager
We were impressed on arrival that all the little extras were provided. Coffee, tea and sugar (with one of those Aldi coffee machines) and a litre of milk were great bonuses as were the bars of soap in the bathroom, laundry detergent and dishwashing pods. While we had a few hiccups along the way with maintenance you can't predict - Julie was super responsive and helpful. The manual provided some useful tips and the location was super convenient.

Spacious well equipped house
We were a family of 2 adults, 5 teens and a small dog. The house was very clean and well supplied and in a great central location. The bedrooms are roomy, enough bathrooms for a large family, and the house has lots of space for everyone to enjoy themselves in different areas without feeling cramped, especially with the downstairs area. We enjoyed the beautiful ocean breeze that flowed through the house. Beds were comfy. Great central location. Thank you
