Perfect house for our Portarlington stay! Easy to stroll to beach and town. House super cute and clean. Plenty of space to spread out and great outside space. Our host Tim was super friendly and quick to reply. Hope to return one day.
Fantastic house, beautifully appointed but beach charming! Great for a group of friends ( like us) or a family. Hosts were amazing and so accommodating!
A very comfortable place to relax and unwind, very clean and accommodating to youg children.
We enjoyed the views from the back verandah whilst drinking our morning coffees or having a BBQ dinner
Overall a very enjoyable stay, highly recommend
We were very happy with the property, it was perfect for our needs, close to everything, enough room for us all. And Tim was really helpful when we had enquiries. Thank you Sue Mc
Overall the property was exactly what we were after. Clear communication and expectations, clean and with enough space. Would recommend highly. One small note would be it can be challenging to organise the toilet without going through the shower/bath room or stepping outside, but not a big concern overall.
We had a lovely stay at Salt. The accommodation was clean, tastefully furnished and had loads of space and things to do for everyone. We loved having a fire on our first night, which was a cold one and relaxing in the backyard when it was warm. Only thing that would have made it a tad better was a few little things like hand towels, more than one tea towel (we paid for linen) and some rubber gloves for washing up.
This property was in a great location, close to the beach, shops and wineries. The house was clean, neat & tidy and the children loved the games room. We enjoyed sitting on the deck with views across to the water. Would definitely stay again.
We had a great time.
Although weather wasn’t fantastic all the time, the kids loved the table tennis and xbox, cupboard full of games, plenty to occupy themselves.
Heating in every room.
Great communication from Tim. We’ll be back for sure.
We had a lovely stay! 5 teenage and adult sons and we fit comfortably. The house was clean and plenty of heating fir our winter stay. Enough space and things to do for a couple of cold and wet weather days. The area was quiet during non school holidays. We would love to come back in spring/summer.
A lovely, tranquil home that meets requirements. (no wifi😉) Beautiful undercover dining area outside and breakfast or vino seated area to gaze at the sunset. The games room with pool table and table tennis table provided so much fun for adult and kids alike. Good shower and separate laundry facilities. Very relaxing home. The property is on a main road located close to town only 1km away. To close the heater it’s best to push it in and move the handle anti clockwise. I know you need to clean, tidy and put dishes away etc but downside is as per Stayz protocol you need to mop and strip beds of sheets which inches into your time. Tim is a fabulous communicator and will answer all questions. Will definitely stay again!

Great place to stay with children
Nice and comfortable with modern features and plenty of room for the kids to play out the back. Lovely little view of the bay too and an easy walk to the beach and shops. Only things that would make it better would be a front fence and front flatscreen door - I didn’t realise the house was right on the main road, which isn’t ideal.
What a great house for a stay in portarlington. So clean, beautiful modern decors, plenty of room for the whole family. Great for young kids with a big backyard and plenty of board games. Nice and close to the beach and Main Street with plenty of places to eat out and go for a good coffee and breaky.
Highly recommend this beautiful little beach house
Pros:
The house is nice, clean, everything is functioning well, space is good for two families or one big family. Communication is great, there was a timely response for all queries. Games room was a great fun for the kids
Cons
We had to bring our own pillows and for a big family this took much space from our car
Wi-fi would be helpful; given that the house is ideal for families, kids don’t always have unlimited data.
A few coffee pods for the coffee machine would be welcomed for the next morning or let the guests know the type of pods they can bring
This is a cute cottage in a great location. The games room in the garden is great for kids. Lovely fire in lounge room. To improve the stay WiFi and some coffee pods for the machine would be great. Easy to communicate with the managers and they were very helpful.
