SECLUDED, SUPERBLY LOCATED & STYLISH - this beautifully restored and renovated iconic 60's Australian beach house has all you could wish for. With everything supplied for a truly luxurious & relaxing stay, simply lie back and drink in the beautiful surrounds, or be as active as you choose. Located only 1 minute stroll from dog-friendly Werri Beach and its beautiful headland walks to the north & south, this fabulously styled & designer-decorated 3-bedroom rambling bungalow backs onto serene Werri Lagoon, with its abundant birdlife and views of rolling green hills and distant mountains.
With a north-easterly aspect, Salt Cottage enjoys cool cross-ventilation in summer, catching the sea-breezes from its many louvred windows, sliding doors and French doors, whilst also capturing the warm winter sun. Large decks on 3 sides of the house look onto lush gardens and the lagoon at the rear, which may be explored with the canoe from the house's private pontoon. Fall asleep to the sound of waves breaking on the nearby beach...
2 separate indoor lounge rooms, each with smart TV & DVD player - there's Netflix too. One outdoor lounge area, plus various other outdoor seating and alfresco dining options on the wrap-around verandahs and in the gardens, allow for both happy socialising or quiet contemplation.
A well-appointed, modern & fully-equipped kitchen stocked with essentials for those who love to cook, outdoor gas BBQ, lime and lemon trees in season, and award-winning cafes and restaurants are also only moments away. Several district wineries are also a short drive away.
A cosy wood fire with cut firewood provided in winter months, plus reverse-cycle air-conditioning enable the house to be enjoyed year-round. Free wi-fi access is also provided.
Hotel quality linen and towels are provided - just bring your beach towel!
The huge rear yard is fully fenced, making Salt Cottage perfectly child and dog friendly! A large, comfy dog bed is provided, for your four-legged family member. Leash-free area for dogs on the beach is only 100m away - dog heaven!
