Salt & Soul Beach Shack

Highly recommended! Positive: Great location and great condition

The property is lovely and welcoming. Location proximity to town and other amenities was perfect. I loved the fact that the kitchen utensils, plates, cutleries, cups, mugs, cookware, etc..were well stuck up. We couldn't use the frying pans though; the were extremely rusting - using them to would be poisoning one's body! Lots of toys for kids to play with and books to read, if you have any children. Loved the shower room and kitchen. The bedrooms had no heating, so we were cold in there at night and during the day. Heating lights in the shower room did not work. The house was tucked away, so it was hard to locate. It was quiet around the property which was nice to experience, given others' pass experiences.Though the house was relatively clean, a few things could do with deep cleaning:- The rugs in the lounge and small bedroom - they were really dirty. Host might benefit from a no shoes past the front door rule.- Dusting down bed frames- The blanket on the sofa and the sofa itself.- The mattress in the bigger room had a massive stain on it. Thank goodness we only noticed it when we stripped the bed and washed the cover. The host might benefit from using a proper waterproof cover following the deep cleaning or replacement of mattress.We were unsure of which refuse bin belong to the house. When we opened one of them, it stuck terribly of something extremely rotten. Host might need to check what's inside and arrange to have it emptied.Overall, it was a lovely property.

Positive: The beds are comfortable and the Pillows where good Negative: The place was really quite dirty. Needs a thorough clean. Was definitely over priced for what it was.

Location was excellent, a short walk to town and minutes from the foreshore.There was only one bedside lamp which was not working when we arrived but this was rectified quickly when we notified the host.The apartment had everything we needed for our 5 night stay.

We enjoyed our stay but were disappointed with some aspects of the accommodation. Positive: It was walking distance to town, close to the beach, clean and compact. Negative: There were no tea towels, the coffee was a solid mass and tasted disgusting. One of the bedside lamps kept blowing globes so one room had no bed lamp. The stools were way to high for the bench and made it very uncomfortable to sit there. The directions were difficult to follow because we got there after dark.
