The Salty Bushman B&B

A beautiful, relaxing place

Please, oil the door hinges.

Die Lage ist traumhaft direkt am Pazifik. Der Himmel war voller Sterne und den Leuchtturm von Nugget point konnten wir durch das große Panoramafenster ebenfalls sehen. Melissa und Shaun sind sehr freundlich. Für das Frühstück stand alles bereit und die Einrichtung ist urgemütlich. Wir wären gern länger geblieben.

We loved staying in the property; the view and proximity to the beach were fantastic. It was interesting staying in a passive house. We enjoyed walking on the beach and visiting the local pub for dinner and the cafe for brunch. Friendly check-in, and then we were left to ourselves, which we appreciated. Very quiet at nighttime, which made for a good night's sleep, and the whole place was warm and cozy in the middle of winter.

Nothing really. There's no kitchen available, which wasn't a problem for our short stay, but there is a fridge, a toaster and a microwave.

Amazing location, nice breakfast options, lovely decor and Melissa was very helpful.

Didn’t realise until after we had booked that we might be sharing the living areas with another guest, that we had to book 2 rooms to ensure privacy. Wouldn’t have been ideal but turned out that there wasn’t anyone in the other room.

Very nice building and layout. Very nice view, very good communication from owners.

Netflix not working, could do with a extraction fan in bathroom.

Very comfortable great location

Fabulous views from lounge area. Amazingly comfortable beds and lovely ensuite. Spacious shared dining & lounge was perfect for our group of 2 couples travelling together.

Continental breakfast was very basic & limited, not quite as represented on-line.

Propre ,fonctionnel ,très calme .Idéal pour visiter les Catlins .Bon restaurant a proximité

tout était parfait

Nice hosts and very informational. Comfortable bed. In great area.

Breakfasts were very plain. No water or juice offered. Had to bring our own. Made our own coffee.

The Salty Bushman is absolutely fantastic. We spent three nights there and were truly impressed by how beautiful the place is. Ronél is a warm and friendly host and we really enjoyed chatting with her. The accommodation is spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and offers a lovely continental breakfast. We felt completely at home in this cozy space. It was incredibly relaxing to sit on the couch and enjoy the stunning sea view. We can highly recommend The Salty Bushman and would like to say a heartfelt thank you to Ronél once again. Gaby & Rene, Switzerland

Continental breakfast served well and fresh. Hostess was very obliging and made you feel comfortable. Meticulously clean and well kept. Furnishings were appropriate and clean. "Little is more"

All went well and was good. No complaints.

Toll eingerichtet, gemütlich, moderne und stilvolle Ausstattung, super Lage mit Ausblick aufs Meer, freundliche & unkomplizierte Unterkunftgeberin

Es wurde nicht erwähnt, dass Hunde auf dem Anwesen sind (nicht in der Unterkunft selbst, aber unmittelbar daneben), Frühstück nicht sehr umfangreich

Geschmackvolle, neuwertige Ausstattung, tolle Lage mit Blick auf den Pazifik und den Leuchtturm, sehr nette, zuvorkommende Besitzer, Ronél und Peter haben uns trotz Sturmkatastrophe und Stromausfall einen tollen Aufenthalt bereitet mit allem Komfort.

Such a quiet, peaceful spot with an amazing view and the beach is so close. We loved watching the light from the lighthouse at night, and meeting sea lions during the day. The bed was super comfy and we had the best sleep ever.

Amazing location

It was perfect

Great communication from the host, super easy to find, the space was lovely warm and welcoming.

Absolutely loved the coastal vibe of the house. It's placed right next to the beach with amazing views across the water. Immaculate place with comfortable bed and living space. The host was kind, friendly, and super accommodating. They also have very cute dogs!

Location and quality of interior fit out

Beautiful B and B very roomy and beach side with an incredible view .Friendly informative hosts .Would stay again for sure

A fantastic property in a quiet coastal setting. Limited options for dining, but still a great location for visiting the many attractions that the Catlins region has to offer. The hosts were extremely friendly and catered for our every need, including gluten and dairy free breakfast options.

The view from the guest lounge is just fabulous.

A wonderful host, a really lovely lady, helpful with what to see & where to go, maps etc provided, snacks and drinks too as well as a lovely continental breakfast. The location is just outstanding, this property is just beautiful, great views, facilities & planting! Thanks so much.

Wonderful view from the communual living room. Very clean.

All excellent

Nothing

Everything was lovely and the views from the unit were amazing. Our bedroom was great with a comfortable king bed and great shower/bathroom. Everything was very clean and the hosts were very friendly without being intrusive. We were the only guest so had the common area to ourselves as well and enjoyed the excellent included continental breakfast. Highly recommend The Salty Bushman for your stay in The Catlins.

Fabulous property. Fortunately we did not have to share with anyone else during our visit. The "lollies" were a bonus tough, as was the plunger coffee.

Very small point, Ronel forgot I didn't like eggs for breakfast.

A very warm friendly welcoming place. Perfect location and extremely comfortable

Location, location, location.

Lovely location, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast with good coffee right opposite the beach.

N/A met my expectations well

Our room was extremely clean and very comfortable. The breakfast area was easy to use and had plenty of choice. Our host was amazing and catered for gluten free and was very friendly with us as well as other guests that we meet there.

leaving !!!!

Warm and friendly and the most comfortable beds and pillows!

Not near a cafe

The decor and furniture are exceptional, new and well designed. The rooms are spacious and cosey and the bed was very comfortable. It is located right across from the beach with stunning views and the area is quiet and peaceful. The breakfast and snacks supplied were much appreciated.

Great location and beautiful spot. Friendly hosts.

No mention that it was shared facilities in the booking

Great location, comfortable bed, great shower, loads of space.

Towels were a bit rough.

A rural bed and breakfast. Two rooms with a shared great room. Very clean and neat. Host and hostess wonderful people who shared with us local locations to visit during our stay. Breakfast was excellent. Parking more than adequate.

Great location and views

Nothing

A tasty healthy breakfast, new modern and attractive facilities with breathtaking and stunning views. Our hosts were delightful, helpful and friendly people

I can't think of anything I didn't like.

The location and the B&B are great. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The bed is very comfy too!

Location, accommodation and Service (Friendliness) was second to none

I am a Carnivore (eat Animal Products only. As a result the Breakfast was limited to Yogurt

Check-in was easy. Very clean and well decorated. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast included cereals, yogurt, blueberries, toast, coffee, and tea - enough to fuel us until lunch. The host also had some muesli bars and chocolates out, which were a nice touch. Would definitely stay again.

Nice decoration and lovely host

Nothing

The location is superb as is the accomodation itself. The hosts Ronel and Peter were very nice as well. We were sad that we had to cut our stay short because of our Covid infection.

Breakfast was good but not what we expected based on the photos on the website which suggested that cooked breakfast would be included.

Host friendly, informative & unobtrusive. Very well presented, generous bedroom, huge bed and well appointed shower room. Luxurious bedding & towels. Shared living space light, airy & well proportioned.

Lovely place to stay, food options are limited and no cooking facilities, but Ronel helped us out with a knife. board and bowl when we asked so we could make a salad.

Location and finish of property

Bit noisy

The unit looks newly renovated and is very clean and cozy.

Loved the location of the property. Beautiful views of the beach and we watched the sunset at the end of the day. Clean and comfy rooms and a nice area to hang out in the evening.

Comfortable room with a great view

Breakfast berries were frozen and also a lack of choice. I think I left my pillow there so it would have been nice to get an email regarding posting it back

Excellent facilities, great views nice breakfast. Friendly hosts

Beautifully built, clean, comfortable and stunning views

Nothing not to like

Very nice contact. Very clean and everything you need. Nice view from the community room. We would come again.

Beautiful home - exceptionally quite on a very windy visit. Amazing views and great location.

Provided just what we were looking for. Hosts considerate and flexible with time of breakfast availability. Premises secure and warm, very clean and modern with interesting build features. Hosts particularly welcoming and helpful.

Nothing to comment about.

Great location, very clean and comfortable. Delicious breakfast and very friendly host. Felt very luxurious, great facilities.

No complaints at all

warm, comfortable, restful and gorgeous view

location was excellent great views. The hosts were very friendly too.

Loved the view lovely and quiet and the puppies oh so cute

excellent location, across the road from the beach.. the view was amazing

clean, new, location

no privacy as bedroom looked on to back garden where owners, kids, dogs were. noise and vibration of door when family went in and out of back garden. towels need to be changed daily as there is no heated towel rails in bathroom

Breakfast was great. Bacon, eggs & tomatoes and toast. Nicely presented. Clean surroundings. Nice ambiance

Maybe put towels in the dryer as quite hard. The small hand made soaps were great but too small for shower use.

Well appointed. Great breakfast. Friendly host.

Shared living space but didn’t impact us as the other guests were only there one night.

Breakfast was good
