Other things to note
🌿 Other Details to Note
Salt & Sage Retreat is more than just a place to stay, it’s a space built around community, connection, nature, and the slower pace we love so much about the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Out back, you’ll find a beautiful old oak tree, our very own "Tree of Life" a perfect spot to sit, reflect, and ground yourself.

We share this space with local wildlife, including birds, blue tongue lizards, possums, and sometimes kangaroos, so please respect their home as much as we ask guests to enjoy theirs. This is a place to unwind, reconnect, and breathe a little deeper.

Hi I'm Kirk I live in Port Willunga, South Australia Nice and close to the beach and far enough away from the hustle and bustle I love to exercise, ride bikes, soak up sunsets, swim in the ocean and enjoy good food and coffee with good company, or just by myself ;)
