Lovely stay with our dog.

We had a great stay. The outdoor garden area is ideal for stays with pets. It’s a nice quiet spot and a very clean property. We would definitely recommend it and hope to visit again.

Lovely spot, great access to the beach

Loved the decor, lots of heart put into it. Only small issue was the nasty lady and cranky man living in the other units. We parked for a couple of minutes to unpack our car (my husband has a disability) and they both come out and abused us from their respective units.

We had a wonderful time at the Salty Crew Villa. My friend and l had not seen each other in 23 years so a catch up was extremely necessary. It was warm and inviting and so quiet, even my dog enjoyed the stay. The Villa is very clean and well stocked with everything necessary for a comfortable getaway. It was easy to communicate with Tracey, my only regret was that our stay was too short, we loved every minute

Geat Villa, Great location

We found Salty Crew Villa a fantastic stay in the middle of Hawks Nest. Very clean and well appointed inside and the outside covered area was peaceful and relaxing. Six minute walk to Bennetts Beach (the ocean beach), ten minutes walk to Jimmy's Beach (Port Stephens beach) and five minutes walk to the local shops made this location ideal. We will certainly stay here again.

Pet friendly accommodation

We has a very enjoyable stay at this eclectic villa. The garden is lovely and there was plenty of space to relax outside with our 2 small dogs. Beds were comfortable and clean. We were close to Jimmy’s and Bennetts beach. The bathroom is a good size and clean. The kitchen is quite small and would improve with a dishwasher. Great to have wifi and a chrome cast to stream services. The only negative thing we found was the couch is uncomfortable. Aside from that small issue would highly recommend this accommodation. Well worth the price, for the accommodation, location and garden.
