Ocean views! Walk across road to beach! Relaxing beach house flooded with light!

The Salty Seahorse is a two storey beach house with ocean views from both levels.

Max of 8 guests: 6 adults & 2 children

The property is only 7 years old, filled with light and painted white throughout. It is decorated in relaxing a coastal colour palette, with seahorses and sea-life.

The kitchen has gas hotplates and an electric oven, microwave, Nespresso, and even a vintage orange squeezer.

Pademelons (often with their joeys) come to visit every evening to feast on the front lawn.

LIVING AREAS
There are two large living areas - one downstairs adjoining the kitchen, and one upstairs with a balcony. Both have ocean views. There is a front deck and a large undercover rear deck as well.

SEATING
We have multiple seating options upstairs and downstairs for relaxing including a three-seater lounge, 2 two-seater lounges, club chairs, wing back chairs, and outdoor chairs. There is a work desk and chair upstairs.

CHILDREN UNDER 5
Please note that at the moment the house is not suitable for children under 5 years old due to a steep staircase with no baby gate, and decks with drops.

PARKING
Please note that you do not have access to the garage, but the driveway fits two to three cars, and there is plenty of street parking.

PETS
Subject to approval.
PLEASE MESSAGE US BEFORE BOOKING to tell us about your pet.
ALL PETS MUST have current flea treatments (using a reliable vet brand -not a cheap supermarket brand)

WHERE PETS STAY
We love furry and feathered friends, but we also respect that future guests may have allergies to pets so we don’t allow pets on furniture. If you pet sheds, we ask you to please keep your pet outside. The back deck is large and sheltered.

A large stretch of beach opposite the Salty Seahorse is a year round off-leash dog beach. Please note that dogs are not permitted in the National Park areas.

We have a large CAT enclosure with climbing shelves on the sheltered back deck. Internal size 90 x 117 x 183cm high. See photo. There is plenty of room at the bottom for a cat toilet. Cats are not permitted to wander inside the house.

Your dog can also be kept in this enclosure overnight for the safety of the local wildlife. Please bring your own pet food, beds, and cat litter.

The backyard is fully fenced, but monitor your dog if they dig under houses, as the house sits on piers.

Please clean up after your pet. Extra cleaning fees will be charged for pet created mess.

NO SMOKING
LEAVE THE HOUSE CLEAN: Please respect our much loved beach house. Extra fees will be charged for a house left in a dirty state.

We asked for a bread Knife and he delivered quickly thank you A brilliant location with the sound of the sea and an easy stroll to the beach We enjoyed early walks and runs in a great location The tv are is not really set up for all of us to view ( after big days exploring we wanted to catch up with news and a movie) We appreciated the ability to stream any of our platforms on the smart TV Thankyou We all would have loved larger towels We loved the provided soap shampoo and conditioner too The beds are firm and the pillow menu is excellent we all slept well!!! Very clean upon arrival and there are signs everywhere helping you find items or understand the house and how to enjoy it We would return

Outstanding pet friendly accommodation
If you're looking for accommodation to take your family and pet, this is the place! Richard is a wonderful host who is very easy to communicate with.You will appreciate the care and effort that has been put into making this place pet friendly. One of the many things was the welcoming pet basket upon arrival with doggie treats. The backyard is completely fenced off, making it easy to have your pets in a secured location. Across the road, there is a dog friendly beach, which was amazing. The house itself is light-filled, clean and comfortable. It is well-heated with a reverse-cycle air-conditioner (heat pump) and double-glazed windows . It has two bathrooms and the kitchen is set up with everything you could need for self catering. I highly recommend this place and look forward to staying again. Thank you, Richard for the great holiday. We really enjoyed it and will be back.

Beautiful and relaxing
What a beautiful place! The location is great, we were able to visit quite a few tourist spots in the area, then come back and relax for the evening. Loved the sound of the water at night as well.
