SALT COTTAGE - Pet Friendly, Stylish Holiday Home - prime beach location
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.

The house suited us very well and it was great to be able to travel with our dog. We enjoyed games and dinner at the long dining table and were spoilt for choice as to where to sit and relax with the two comfortable sitting rooms and the back deck. The beds were comfy and we had a great stay.
Was a great location as we were attending a wedding nearby. The house was perfect for 3 generations with plenty of space for everyone to be happy. Close to the beach, although it was very cold we still went for walks on the beach and the Kiama Coastal walk which is stunning - we were lucky enough to see whales. A lovely location and the house had everything we needed.
A beautiful property in a beautiful area with space for everyone to do their own thing or be altogether. Beach walks by day and cosy fire by night. Would definitely recommend.
Immaculate large home a stone's throw from the beach. Lovely quiet area. Charming, well serviced town. Parents, baby and grandparents had a lovely stay.
Salt Cottage was exactly as described & a very quiet & peaceful place for our stay. Our toy poodle loved the backyard & the many dog friendly cafes. The main bedroom is large with a super comfortable bed. Beautiful place to stay 😊
We had a great Easter long weekend at Salt Cottage. The house was clean and tidy with everything that we needed. We loved our stay and the bonus of a secure back yard for the dog was appreciated.
Location was perfect with a stroll to the beach
We thoroughly enjoyed the lovely spacious house with its beautiful green garden view and proximity to the beach. The house is thoughtfully set up and has everything we needed plus a canoe!
Enjoyed our week relaxing in this clean and well equipped property. So close to the beach, Gerrigong shops and restaurants, and a short drive to Berry. Quiet neighboorhood, house is bright and airy inside and we all slept well. Highly recommended.
We want to live there -just too gorgeous and so easy! everything linen, beds, pillows, living areas, bathrooms and the kitchen especially were beautifully appointed, sophisticated taste and soo relaxing. We’ll be back many times. And the hosts were very gracious, generous and helpfully friendly. A salute to Salt Cottage from all of us
We loved Salt Cottage and Werri Beach. For years we used to stop at Gerringong for a break when heading further south so decided it was time to spend a few days and really check out the area. Salt Cottage was the perfect house for our family of 5 adults and pup. The location is incredible - backing onto the lagoon for fishing and canoeing, 2 minutes walk to the dog friendly beach, easily connecting to the Kiama Coastal walk. Bowlo at the end of the street and 3 golf courses within 15 mins! There's an IGA and cafes 5 mins drive away. The house is clean and comfortable with everything (literally!) you need for a great family holiday. We are planning our return :)
This lovely single level property is only one block from the centre of Werri Beach where you and your furry friend can play and swim. The house is immaculately clean and has everything you need for a stylish and relaxed beach break. The property backs onto the creek and has a nice, shaded verandah looked out toward it. Takeaway food shop and bowling club within walking distance, as is the start of the Gerringong to Kiama Walk. The owner is very communicative, and all house features/rules are clearly explained. Would definitely return.
Great stay, quiet private location, close to beach and central to stunning coastal walks. Lots of space, stylish decor with a relaxed vibe, comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. Backyard is fenced, good for the pup. Host was easy to contact and helpful, highly recommend Salt Cottage and look forward to our return next time.
Our large family group booked this accommodation along with the property next door - we had a great time at this beautiful house - and our dog loved it as well
Lovely, peaceful & relaxing place to stay, yet so close to everything you could need. Worked really well for 2 families (plus fur babies). I’d definitely stay here again.
A beautiful well appointed house for a beach holiday. Access to the surf beach and the lagoon for paddle boarding or canoeing made it a really great break.
