Peaceful Oasis

Wow! Joyce and Craig and have created delightful tranquil Oasis in Salamander Bay! Highly recommend for couples wanting to get away somewhere coastal and have a peaceful location to retreat to after a day at the beach or exploring nearby Nelson or Anna Bay.

Amazing

Could not recommend this property more, if you are looking for a break away where everything is at least as good as you have at home (& why bother to go away if it isn’t) this guesthouse will meet expectations. It’s quirky, tasteful & the added goodies supplied by the hosts are much more than anyone would expect from a commercial property. From the moment you step in & see the clever architecture & beautiful gardens & pool you feel right at home. A stay at “This Is Us” is a must.
