Great holiday
It is a great location and the property has great facilities. The upstairs bedrooms have a weird layout because you have to go through bathroom to get to second bedroom. The pool, location and view were great. The floors didn’t seem to have been cleaned properly as our feet were black from walking barefoot. We felt that they had skimped on some of the consumables/ not enough toilet paper and salt cellar never had salt but overall was a good stay.

Perfect position and wonderful accommodation
It is the perfect house for friends to gather and enjoy each other's company. Great position for walks or paddling, pool perfect temperature for late-night swimming or all-day lounging. Beautiful sunrises from the balcony, great downstairs bar area, nice kitchen, and awesome bathroom off the main bedroom. Clean, neat, and tidy. Would recommend.

Had a lovely time with our kids, their partners and 3 grandchildren aged 2, 1 and 10 months, celebrating hubby's 60th Birthday. Went fishing, trips to Stockton Beach 4WDing and swam in pool. Walked around the point for a beach swim. Very relaxing. The house was perfect for get together meals, chatting and finding a quiet space to sit when needed. Loved our time there.

Beautiful home on waterfront at Salamander Bay
This is a beautifully renovated house right on the waterfront with lovely living areas overlooking the bay and modern kitchen with enough basics provided for our weekend stay - things like soap, tissues, paper towels, salt & pepper, tomato sauce, tea & coffee, etc. The pool table got plenty of use and the weather was nice enough to be able to use the kayaks and paddle board. The swimming pool was lovely to look at but not quite warm enough to swim. The only negative with the layout of the house is that the two bedrooms on the top floor share a two-way bathroom and the back bedroom entry is from this bathroom or from the outside front patio.

Lovely time away. House is in a beautiful spot and was well set up.
Had some trouble with main air con to start with but with family electricians present they finally got it working. Bedroom ceiling fan also not working and tea towel and dishwashing detergent were missing or empty so we had to purchase some. Otherwise a lovely property to stay in. We had a great time - and after weeks of rain, the sun shone!

Exceeded our expectations
A delightful property, well maintained with with ample living space for our group of nine. We found everything easy to operate and enjoyed many hours in the pool as well as paddle boarding and kayaking from the beach access or just relaxing on the balcony and taking in the view. Overall, great value for money.
