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.

Weekend getaway
Salty Crew Villa have us exactly what we wanted. A place to relax and spend time together with our Border Collie - Kellie.
The villa was equipped with everything we needed. The garden was beautiful, the yard enclosed for our dog and it is located close to shops, food and most importantly beaches.
Tracey was great to deal with and check in was easy. We look forward to spending more time here.

Cozy cottage close to everything
My partner and I have just spent a weekend in this lovely cottage and we absolutely loved it. Cozy, lots of little lovely details that the host has thought of, clean, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen, lovely yard, and a very close walk to the beach, local shops, etc. We would certainly stay there again. And Tracey was a lovely host, prompt in communication, and had facilitated an easy and smooth check in.
