Sally | Salamander Bay Water Views, 2BR & BBQ

Step inside this relaxed and comfortable beach house, offering beautiful water views over Salamander Bay. Designed for easy coastal living, the home is ideal for families or small groups looking for a peaceful base to unwind and explore the Port Stephens region.

The living and dining areas are bright and welcoming, with large windows that frame the bay and bring in plenty of natural light. The open-plan layout makes it easy to spend time together, whether you’re sharing meals, relaxing in the lounge, or enjoying the view from inside.

Outside, you’ll find a peaceful setting among the trees, where you can enjoy a BBQ with a glass of wine while watching boats move across the water. The atmosphere is calm and private, making it easy to switch off and slow down.

The kitchen is fully equipped for simple home-cooked meals, and the home includes everything needed for a comfortable stay, including multiple bathrooms and laundry facilities.

With direct access to a nearby safe swimming beach just a short walk away, you can easily spend your days in and out of the water or exploring the surrounding coastline. Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay, and Fingal Bay are all a short drive away, offering plenty of activities, cafes, and beaches to discover.
