Salt Shack Bicheno | coastal charm, steps from the surf

Made for lovers of the sea, ocean explorers and beachcombers, Salt Shack was designed with you in mind.

Located just a short stroll from the turquoise waters, soft white sands and orange lichen-covered rocks of iconic Redbill Surf Beach and Diamond Island, Salt Shack’s design and character nods to the charm of original East Coast beach shacks.

Surf, swim or soak in the sunshine, right on your doorstep. Follow the foreshore trail for a scenic, leisurely walk to explore the thriving coffee culture and eclectic shops in Bicheno’s town centre.

Light-filled, soothing and considered, Salt Shack is quietly nestled within an internal block. A relaxing spot for couples and small families, the two bedrooms can comfortably accommodate four people (one double and two king singles).

The modern, open-plan living space includes a well-equipped kitchen, dining and lounge area. Wi-fi, sound bar, smart TV, games and books are all provided for you to enjoy.
Passive design principles ensure you are warm and cosy during your stay. A calming, neutral colour palette reflects the natural elements and connects you to the outdoors. The space is beautifully styled with objects collected over many years, including vintage treasures and items handmade by local artists or locally sourced.

For lovers of comfort, soak in the deep bath or unwind with a local wine on the deck after a day spent exploring. Curl up on leather couches under a woollen rug on cooler nights.
The spacious outdoor area includes a BBQ, deck and undercover parking. You can rinse off after your surf or swim in an outdoor shower.

Salt Shack is perfectly situated to explore Freycinet and Douglas Apsley National Parks, beautiful East Coast vineyards, Bicheno Penguin Tours, the Bay of Fires and many other locations and activities the region offers.

I really enjoyed my stay at Salt Shack. It is super convenient to the beach and town and has a lot of style. The bed is very comfy and having a washing machine was a nice bonus. The home sits in a bit of a hollow, so there really isn't any view to speak of, but it feels very private and is nicely quiet. I grilled a steak one evening on the barbeque which was so nice to have. Everything felt new and clean and I strongly recommend this place as an excellent value with great comfort.
