The Salty Dog

As seen on Ch7 Morning Sunrise, House&Garden, Inside Out, Homes to Love Au, My Favourite Stays Au & NZ, Stayawhile magazines and Sommerhusmagasinet (Europe) The smell of salt air, the sound of water lapping, the sun glinting off ripples that surround you...a feeling of peace and the world left behind. The Salty Dog is a space that is both cosy and open to the water, a wooden boathouse for two that invites you to relax and just 'be', to go off grid and reconnect with mother nature at her best.
