“Book this cosy property today!”
Everything about this cosy property was amazing! It was thoroughly clean, so toasty warm even without us lighting the fire inside. The bed was so comfortable, and the bath outside with the outdoor fire was just the icing on the cake! Wish we had the time to stay longer than the 2 nights just to relax and enjoy the serenity! Just book it, you will not be disappointed!! We will be back!!

“A lovely stay in a ‘real’ shack without compromising on comfort or facilities.”
We loved the experience of staying in an authentic Tassie shack. The furnishings matched the style of the house and was comfortable and clean. Outdoor areas provided a lovely retreat and extra space. Only a few minutes walk to the Arthur River cruise jetty. Easy check in and Tim very responsive.

Salty Devil's rest is a real perfect place for holiday, relax and exploration. Optimal location to go to the coast and the forest. The cottage has everything you need, it is a cosy place that gives the feeling of being truly welcome. One of the few places were we could be with our friends and their dog, thank you so much for making our holiday possible!

“A Beautiful Location”
Salty's is a typical 'shack' but the location is stunning. The beach behind the shack is absolutely beautiful. It's about a 10 minute walk. The outdoor bath is beautiful even on a cold night. The shack itself is comfortable and big enough for a family of 4 and the dog and the kids loved it. Huge fridge with freezer and basic kitchen items. The location is pretty remote so bring everything you need with you and make sure you have a full tank of fuel. Absolutely loved it and highly recommend it. It's a great base for The Tarkine Drive. Tim is very responsive if you have any questions.

“Cozy shack retreat!”
Cozy little shack with all the mod cons for a comfortable stay. It was also more sheltered than beachfront locations which was great during crazy marine wind conditions! We were able to walk to the river to fish. The fireplace was the best and the outdoor tub was a luxurious touch. Lots of space to store our bikes too. Great spot to explore the area, such as the petroglyphs, Edge of the World and Tarkine Drive.

Such a great spot, we stayed for the arthur river cruise and is perfectly located for it. Short drive (~15mins) to a nearby inn with good food when not self catering. Loved the outdoor bath, great to relax after a day out. In all, fabulous time had by 4 of us.

“Very comfortable stay.”
We stayed three nights in this very comfortable, neatly presented coastal shack that is walking distance to river and beach. It has all the amenities one would need for a longer stay (full kitchen, laundry, bbq etc). Loved the outdoor shower.

“Have experienced much better elsewhere.”
Those "little extras", were not presented. Seems to be a place where the owner has not gone the extra mile to provide for those extra needs. Cold and poorly appointed. The name implies a beach residence, it is not.

“Spacious and well equipped.”
Spacious and well equipped: a lot of rooms, the BBQ area is very nice, certainly in a power outage situation. Washing machine incl. detergent was present. Even a USB-C charger was present in the master bedroom.

“Relaxed and comfortable and enjoyed the area.”
It is a shack. It was comfortable and clean. The bedrooms are tiny and the shower basic, but plenty of hot water. Some supplies were not provided like coffee but that may have been an oversight. It was in a great location and easy to find.
