A bit more about the space:
Salty Paws cottage is a comfortable, light filled space set in beautiful gardens with stunning views over Westernport Bay.
The bedrooms have orthopedic quality mattresses with 1000 thread count sheet sets and fluffy wool quilts.
The bathroom has a deep luxurious bath and shower with Dindi Naturals shampoo, conditioner, hand / body wash and moisturiser provided for your use, including bubble bath for a relaxing treat.
The lounge has cosy sofas, with Netflix and wifi provided, and a full kitchen with everything you need to cook up a storm.
In winter firewood will be provided with everything you need to get the Coonara going for some extra warmth. (Cottage also has split system heating.)
The cottage is complimented with a wrap around balcony, with chairs for lounging and a dining setting, the perfect place to enjoy watching the sun set after a bbq on the Webber. There is also a gate on the balcony and fencing around the front garden to keep your dogs safe.
For the doggies I provide a toy basket, some beds on the deck (dogs are allowed inside too,) dog towels and blankets for those that can’t resist sitting on the furniture. I also have a hot/cold water tap on the balcony with Dindi Naturals dog shampoo to wash away the sand and mud after fun adventures.
Salty Paws is a 15 minute walk to the local ‘Foots Beach’ a popular surfing spot with a lovely bay for swimming and is also dog friendly. Dog restrictions apply in January.
It’s also a 15 minute walk to the town with pubs, restaurants, cafes and clothing/homewares shops.
Guest access: The cottage is accessed from the front garden up some stairs on the balcony.
There is one guest parking space in the driveway (in front of the garage) any additional cars can park on the street or on my nature strip.
Please note there are stairs to the cottage.

The property was superb in every way, photographs & descriptions were very accurate.The property was exceptionally clean, homely & well presented with great attention to detail.
Excellent property, comfortable, clean, did not want for anything, lots of great little touches, friendly host who also respected our privacy. Our pooch loved it too. View and outdoor spaces were also fantastic. Highly recommend.
Salty Paws was very clean and spaciousMy dog loved it alsoNice size kitchen and great outside decking And with great sea views also , and only a short walk to the shops I would definitely recommend it to friends Thanks Alicia
The view was beautiful and the location was ideal - a nice walk into San Remo or easy to head over the bridge onto the island to explore. Lots of thoughtful touches and a well appointed kitchen. Communication with the host was great. Would stay again (and bring the dogs next time).
Salty Paws was great and the view better than in the photos. Alicia very welcoming and everything you need in the house and a lovely well set fire as well which we enjoyed.
We arrived just in time to sit in the big green arm chairs and watch the sun go down by the warmth of the log fire. Was such a cosy, comfy getaway that exceeded our expectations. Beds were super comfy and Alicia was very responsive and helpful.
Easy going place , super restful, super clean , walking distance to beach and village centre, bars and restaurants.
We will be back soon

About the host
Hosted by Alicia
Hello, I'm Alicia and I own and run Salty Paws Cottage. I also own a local interior design business and have two kelpie crosses. I love living by the beach and enjoy sharing my home with guests and showcasing the best Phillip Island and South Gippsland has to offer.
Why they chose this property
As an interior designer I've worked hard to make Salty Paws a 'home away from home' many guests have complimented me on the comfort and joy of being in the space. Also with amazing views, even if the weather is poor you can curl up by the fire and watch the tides change, read a book or watch a movie on Netflix.
