About this property
Luxury Couples Retreat with Heated Private Pool in Salamander Bay
We are so pleased to present "This is Us" our brand new 60 sq metre, luxurious Free Standing Guest House located in the peaceful suburb of Salamander Bay.
Welcome to your private escape — a beautifully styled guesthouse where comfort meets coastal charm.
Featuring a super comfy king-sized bed, a light-filled open-plan living space, and an incredible full kitchen, it’s the perfect spot to relax, cook up a feast, or simply unwind with a glass of wine.
Wake up, open the blinds, and gaze out at your very own 10-metre saltwater pool, just steps from your door.
In the cooler winter months (July & August), our pool heating takes a break — but if you're game, it’s the perfect ice bath wake-up call!
Whether you're here for a weekend or a longer stay, this peaceful hideaway is all about slowing down and soaking it all in.
Designed for couples in mind for a peaceful, relaxing staycation. Relax by your private, stunning pool and have the vacation you both deserve :)
