About this house rental

Salt Cottage is a beautifully renovated 60's Australian beach house, perfectly located just a 1-minute stroll from dog-friendly Werri Beach, and a 2 minute drive from Gerringong village. The spacious 3-bedroom bungalow backs onto peaceful Werri Lagoon and offers lovely views of lush gardens, abundant birdlife, and distant mountains.

Designed for comfort and relaxation, the house features two separate indoor lounge rooms, each with a TV and Netflix in rear lounge, an outdoor lounge area, plus various alfresco dining options on the wrap-around verandahs. Large decks on three sides of the house capture the sea breezes in summer and the warm winter sun. There’s even a private pontoon with a canoe for exploring the lagoon.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with all the essentials and there’s an outdoor gas BBQ for dining al fresco. Guests can enjoy local award-winning cafes, restaurants, and nearby wineries. In cooler months, a cosy wood fire keeps things warm, while reverse-cycle air-conditioning ensures year-round comfort. Free Wi-Fi is provided, and high-quality linens and towels are supplied—just bring your beach towels!

The house is fully fenced, making it ideal for children and pets, with a large dog bed provided. The beach offers a leash-free area just 200m away, making it dog heaven.

Note: An additional $50 per pet, per stay. Please confirm pets with the owner before booking. High chair and cot available on request.

Generally, check in is 10am and check out 12pm, but this may change during high season/busy times or if there are other guests checking in on the same day as a check out date.
