We had a week at Old Salt House, and unfortunately 6 days poured with rain, not just sprinkles, heaps all day, which is no fault of the owner/Prop mgr.
I was disappointed to find very nasty stained mattress protectors and old BLOOD marks on pillow covers :-( There was sand actually IN the main bedroom bed! - between the dirty mattress protector and the bottom sheet. Bed was hard. i had to use a doona from another bed to put underneath for comfort AND to hide the dirty mattress protector. Pretty disgusting I thought. The bed needs replacing. It slants outwards, rolling us out of bed each side. Whole house should have been cleaner. Door and window runners were filthy as were all fly wires which are old and have holes and are missing on some windows. NONE of the flywire/sliding/security doors lock. Very old and worn. Re: The Spa. I've never known a spa to be SO HOT! It was 36c. Far too hot for the average person to sit in, day or night. It was like being boiled alive! Unable to change temp. so we couldn't use the spa.
And yes, the outside shower WAS the best of all three showers. Ridiculously tiny shower cubicle on top level of house, with a giant rainwater shower head! Really bad for shorter people and hair gets wet each time you shower. Now for the plusses. I liked all the cookware and crockery and cutlery, glasses etc., very nice. Location is good, though tons of sand-flies along the storm water drain that runs into the ocean. Lots and lots of dogs off lead as the locals ALL come to this beach. We were hoping that it would have been quieter as we have an old dog who doesn't like the young dogs running right up to her, which was stressful. The little Perigean shopping centre is nice, and the IGA supermarket is great, plenty of organics and interesting food. We won't return, sorry.
