Salt Box Hideaway

We had a beautiful stay at Salt Box Hideaway in Strahan, Tasmania in February 2024. The location is blissful, so peaceful and relaxing. The cabin is small but charming and the set up and decor is stylish and exceeded our expectations. Highly recommended.

Salt Box is a fully renovated beach shack in the Lettes Bay heritage-listed melee of little shacks that were holiday homes for miners dating back to the Mt Lyell Mining & Railway Co. Glorious waterfront view, it’s subject to the foibles of Strahan’s weather. The shack has functional spaces with a queen bed, kitchenette and nice en-suite. Lounging and seating is really only for 2 people at best, as space is tight. Furnishings were good quality, crockery of high quality and we were provided provisions for a basic but generous continental breakfast. Surprisingly lots of cooking utensils and condiments on the shelves, as was quality plunger coffee and tea. No Aircon, but it was 2 degrees outside in March. Insulation and feather doona meant no need to use electric fireplace included. Good Wi-Fi. Due to space, the bed is all the way up against the wall. The owner has made a decent effort to furnish with high quality bedding and towels. Parking is on the public cul de sac. We had a hiccup on check-in but was sorted out with satisfaction. Definitely a unique property in Strahan, highly recommended for those who want a rustic environment in a beautiful bay, but with home luxuries. Remember, it’s small.
