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.

My parents from England joined us this year and were delighted in the daily dolphin show we saw from our balcony! Peaceful location, feels like your own private beach.

Beautiful home with everything included for a great stay!
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This quiet property is a beautiful well maintained home with a great layout for a multi family group and had many items included for a wonderful stay. The kayaks were a lovely addition. The view was incredible as we enjoyed watching dolphins in the bay. Unfortunately the beach was full of seaweed during most of our stay but cleared the last day. We would definitely stay here again.

Great place for a family getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a pleasant stay over the school holidays weekend, all as described, with great condition, great view and complete set of facilities to entertain families with kids in different age groups. The only minor thing to consider is accessing the second bedroom in the second floor which was wired ( access through balcony or via ensuite of the master bedroom). But that was only a small inconvenience issue, overall really happy with the place.

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.

Easy living Beachside Home
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This place has a lot of positives including its location (right on the beach), quiet cul de sac street, pool (unfortunately heating wasn’t working however the pool technician came and got it working on day 2), the kayaks (2) and stand up paddle with life jackets, and the house itself is beautifully furnished and the heating works a treat! The BBQ worked well as did the oven. The sofa bed was made up which was great for our 7yo. One of the pool queues unfortunately had a broken tip which made playing awkward. The checking in was easy. All up, we had a great time with our friends (another family) who also enjoyed it immensely.

Beautiful, relaxed mid-winter stay
Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We rented this property for 4 adults and 2 children for 3 nights in mid August. The place was perfect, the pool and the pool provided a lot of fun for us all, both were clean and well kept. We took 2 kayaks but the additional 2 provided kayaks (including life jackets) enabled us to further enjoy the bay. Noting there was also a paddle board but we did not use it. Communication with the property managers was excellent, and we appreciated being provided the entry code details a little earlier than 3pm as this is quite late for entry for a property of this price.For meals, we walked to the Cheeky Dog for dinner, an easy walk, great food and a trivia night (Tuesdays), and used the bbq and other cooking facilities on the other evenings. There are 2 large supermarkets around 7 minutes drive away, plus a local smaller supermarket, which meant sourcing supplies to be very easy.We also visit the nearby go karts and used the tennis courts at Soldiers Point (racquets and balls supplied although very old).Overall, I would recommend this as a great place to stay.

5 star renovation 2 star environment
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is clean and love the decoration, there are some minor hazards of the main suite design, the floor could be slippery near to both side doors to bed rooms, if the floor is wet. The house needs a pest control. Lower ground floor has some odor. The pool is too old.The biggest issue is the beach. Should ask the local council to clean it, not getting what we paid for.
