The Salty Dog

As seen on Ch7 Morning Sunrise, House&Garden, Inside Out, Homes to Love Au, My Favourite Stays Au & NZ, Stayawhile magazines and Sommerhusmagasinet (Europe) The smell of salt air, the sound of water lapping, the sun glinting off ripples that surround you...a feeling of peace and the world left behind. The Salty Dog is a space that is both cosy and open to the water, a wooden boathouse for two that invites you to relax and just 'be', to go off grid and reconnect with mother nature at her best.

Perfect weekend getaway

5 out of 5 average rating, 22 reviews3 months ago

We had a great couple of days staying at Clareville. The accommodation was clean and comfortable with fantastic views over the water. The hot tub was an amazing success with us all. Our hosts were kind enough to extend our checkout time so we could spend more time there. This place is definitely to be recommended.

We had an incredible stay at The Gannons Retreat. It was so peaceful and idyllic, the location was wonderful. The bay there was perfect and being able to use the kayaks was great fun. The boathouse was so very well stocked, it had everything you needed. It was very clean and comfortable. Lesley and Neil were wonderful hosts, super friendly and responsive. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for a serene and peaceful getaway in a spectacular location. Thank you Lesley and Neil for our stay 🫶🏼

The Boathouse

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 96 reviews2 weeks ago

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful waterfront Airbnb. The place was private, peaceful, and packed with activities—from fishing and kayaking to paddleboarding and even cooking in the outdoor pizza oven (a huge highlight for us!). It was the perfect escape from the Sydney rat race, giving us a chance to slow down, breathe, and enjoy some real quality time together. What really made the experience stand out were the hosts, Ivona and Dean. They were exceptional—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. We left feeling recharged and grateful, and we’re already thinking about our next visit. Highly recommend this place if you’re after nature, relaxation, and a bit of adventure all in one.
