Location was perfect, it was away from the main town so the noise was minimum apart from the boats leaving from the boat ramp in the morning. It was only a short 3 minute drive into town. The accommodation itself was exceptional, there was everything here that you would need and it was very clean. It was a very quiet space with the a very relaxing atmosphere and lovely wildlife watching from the front deck.

The only improvement (which is personal preference) was the bed was very soft and a bit uncomfortable to sleep on but that is completely personal preference for a firmer bed.

Salt was simply amazing, exceeded our expectations and so much more. Arriving to a beautiful sunset from the balcony over the river with kangaroos grazing on the lawn felt like a once in a lifetime experience. I love how they have scattered the placement of the villas so you never feel overlooked. The apartment was spotless and welcoming. A big thank you to Gayle who's customer service was exceptional. The team went above and beyond for the welcome birthday extras for my partner as well as our many requests throughout. Our bike ride along the road leading into the path with the mangroves on one side and the sea on the other is a must do. Stunning. Can't wait to come back!

Absolutely nothing

The Salt villa was relaxing, clean, comfortable and well equipped for both short and longer stays. Situated in a relaxing location along the river amongst nature in close vicinity to beaches and sightseeing locations. We spent our time relaxing in the pool, watching beautiful sunsets over the river and a walk to the Tav for a meal all followed by a comfortable sleep amongst the sounds of the nature surrounding. We absolutely loved this location.

Couldn’t stay longer

I don’t usually give 10’s but this place is sensational! And we can’t wait to be back!! The staff knew it was our anniversary and they left us a beautiful gift! The whole villa was absolutely perfect!! SO comfortable and SO well designed and fitted with literally everything you need!! They’ve done an amazing job ensuring their customers are looked after!

I really can’t think of anything!

At last a deluxe that deserved the title! Spacious, comfortable and clean. Everything seemed clean, crisp and new. Quality kitchen equipment and enough coffee pods! (although some decaf would be nice). Plenty of dishwasher tabs etc. Comfortable, modern lounge. Nice deck. Really nice to have access to free push bikes as it's a nice trip to the village /beaches. Nice view over river. Very near tavern, if needed (no noise from it)

A bbq on the deck would be a bonus but there are communal ones. Overlooks road but only intermittent traffic.

The apartment is beautifully appointed and very comfortable. Check in was easy, albeit without any human contact. Hence no rating of staff. Didn't encounter any!

The location is great if you like to be remote from town center. Our preference is to be closer/walking distance to pubs, restaurants etc. However, I booked this knowing it was out of town - just didn't appreciate the distance! For the price we paid, I think a higher quality loo paper is warranted. Also, as there's no contact with onsite staff, there is absolutely no negotiation in terms of check in and check out times.

The easier arrival process, key in locked box. The place was decorated beautiful. Clean linen Everything you needed the view the kitchen ware was fantastic and great colours

That we arrived late and was not able to enjoy it. We then had to leave by 10am. Other than that it was top notch. The price was more than we would pay.

Lovely location on the river and a short 5-OQ minute drive to the beach. Kangaroos on site were a lovely surprise to see them so close (do not touch) and the pool was beautiful.

Nothing could have been better apart from if we were staying for longer!

I love the location. The villa was beautifully furnished & super clean! Loved everything!!!!

The large bins located opposite the villas smelt very bad. I had to keep my bedroom windows closed at night as the smell was unbearable. This was particularly uncomfortable because the bedrooms did not have air conditioning so a window being opened was the next best option. These bins were very full and covered in maggots & flies. It was the only part of my stay that I can say was not great.

The Villa was well appointed with everything we needed.

My only complaint would be that there is only one bathroom. With 3 bedrooms another bathroom would be handy. Thankfully the pool had a bathroom not far by.
