.Beach getaway, pet friendly, coastal vibe

Located only one house back from The Esplanade, enjoy a relaxing beach getaway at The Salty Dog Beach house.
The charming cottage nestled to the rear of the property sleeping 6. Complemented by a large fully fenced yard with established gardens, birdlife and carparking.
There is plenty of outdoor space for kids and pets to play, while the three bedroom cottage is spacious and equipped to ensure you have everything you need to enjoy a relaxing holiday in this fantastic location.
With the beach, playgrounds and cafe's within a few minutes walk you can leave the car keys behind. The Aldinga Beach shopping centre is only a few minutes drive away. You may like to head into neighboring towns such as McLaren Vale or Willunga for the day. Did we mention the beach is a few minutes walk? Or you could jump in the car and drive and park on the beach for the day.
If your a bike rider you will love riding around Aldinga Beach. The walk along the Esplanade is wonderful. Having a vehicle will allow you to drive a little further and enjoy our wine region, Victor Harbor and other wonderful beaches.

Perfect in every way

So perfect for our stay, loved the house, all the facilities, atmosphere and local area. Everything we could possibly need was there… including hand mixers and a cake pan to whip up a 1 year olds bday cake ❤️. Loved sitting on the outdoor lounge watching my dog run around the pretty front yard. The kitchen and bbq area perfect . We hope to stay again- we loved it.

We loved our stay with our two little dogs at The Salty Dog. The property was impeccably clean and beautifully presented. Safe and secure yard for our little ones and the owners have thought of absolutely everything in providing a lovely place to holiday. Very doggy friendly but also the perfect holiday house even without pets. Highly recommend to anyone 👌

My wife & I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Salty Dog Beach House and so did our pooch, being just a 3 minute walk to the beach was amazing. The The Salty Dog Beach House is a great place to base yourself from as its an easy drive to Wineries, Restaurants and Cafes, what a great place to take some time out and relax. Thank you,
