About this property

BLUE SALT-Great Ocean & Beach Views. Wood Burner Fire. Lower rates over winter.

Blue Salt Gerroa is a luxurious hillside house with spectacular, panoramic, uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean, the Seven Mile Beach and the Crooked River. The house is elevated, being located at one of the highest points in Gerroa, allowing for expansive and extensive sweeping water views in all directions. These views can be seen for miles and miles from two large decks and internally through a very wide 16 metres of glass panels and doors, which open to the decks.


Blue Salt is located within short walking distance (about 7 minutes walk to the beach) of and directly overlooking the famous 12.5 km Seven Mile Beach.


Nothing is so relaxing as watching and listening to the waves rolling in and observing the ebb and flow of the tides and colourful sunrises and sunsets from your own private vantage point. This house with these million dollar views has been referred to as the jewel in Gerroa's crown.


A very special review written originally in French nicely sums up: Blue Salt-
"Spectacular view of the beach and the ocean but also the river and beautiful vegetation, incredibly beautiful rooms, 2 huge balconies, 2 living rooms, 4 double (bed) rooms, really exceptional villa. The kind of dream house. Probably the most beautiful house in the area. Breath taking view. "


Blue Salt is a private, spacious and luxurious home. It has lovely decor. It is contemporary and elegant in style, having versatile, multi-level living areas. The house has three levels.


Most rooms enjoy postcard views through an extensive and wide glass frontage opening onto two large entertaining decks. There is a wide glass frontage of 16 m. This width of the house enables views to be maximized.


There are two living/lounge rooms and a dining room plus eat in kitchen and two decks with two outdoor dining areas.


There are three bathrooms/ensuites.


There are 4 bedrooms 2 of which are master bedrooms with ensuite, built - in wardrobe and water views. There is a sofa bed in the second lounge/living room with door and bathroom opposite which can be converted to a 5th bedroom at $60 per additional 1 or 2 guests per person per night. This allows for extra guests to come if you wish 9 or 10 guests in total. The sofa bed is locked and cannot be used if extra people are not booked. If less than 8 are booked but the sofa bed is required, the bed must be requested for $60 to cover extra cleaner's fees.

A complete Floor Plan can be found as my last photo.


The house has a north-south aspect rather than west, making the deck and house, combined with ocean breezes, cool in summer and means you can sit comfortably on the deck at dusk when you want to relax. The wood burner creates warmth and atmosphere in winter. Wood is provided June-August. The house is equipped for all seasons.

The house is set amongst trees and greenery in a natural sub- tropical rainforest attracting a varied and colourful bird life.


From the upper deck you can watch the water views and enjoy colourful sunsets, accompanied by outdoor dining and cooking on the BBQ.


In winter enjoy the same view from inside huddled around the wood burner fire place with your glass of local red wine.


Blue Salt, only 90 minutes from Sydney, enables you to easily experience all that this quaint village of Gerroa and it's surrounds has to offer. Just a short distance further from Canberra. And Melbourne a little further again.

Excellent Accommodation for 80th birthday celebrations
Our party consisted of 6 adults and 4 young children. There was plenty of room for everyone. We had a chef in our party who found everything he required in the well-stocked kitchen (he did bring his own knife though!). The views and sunsets were spectacular, the big dining table seated us all nicely and a great time was had by all.

Perfect Gerroa Getaway
Had a fantastic long weekend at Blue Salt. The house is stunning, spotless and extremely well-equipped. Beautiful views of the ocean and a short walk to seven mile beach ensured complete relaxation. It was the perfect getaway and we’ll certainly be looking to book again in the future.

60th Birthday
Just WOW! What an amazing property! The view is unsurpassed, panoramic vista of pristine 7-mile beach and bushland surrounds. Bule Salt is a stunning and spacious home which takes full advantage of the breathtaking views from every level. Our group of 5 enjoyed the large kitchen and dining area of the top floor. Sliding doors span the length of this level, opening onto a large deck, the perfect spot to enjoy breakfast and afternoon drinks while whale watching. A queen bedroom and bathroom occupy the entry level, with the added bonus of a very large and comfortable second living area, complete with Foxtel TV. The lower floor comprises of 2 very large queen bedrooms, both with well-appointed bathrooms and build in robes. The master includes a large freestanding bath to relax in. Both these rooms have sliding doors leading to a balcony with beautiful beach/ocean views. The 3rd bedroom on this level has 2 single beds and ocean views. We found Blue Salt spotlessly clean and extremely well presented and maintained. The kitchen was a cook's dream! Extremely well equip with everything need to whip a dinner party! Loads of pots, pans, cutlery, serving dishes, oven trays, dishwasher, coffee machine etc. Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay -a weekend wasn't long enough! We also found all communication with the host to be polite, friendly and prompt. The late check out on Sunday afforded to us was greatly appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend Blue Salt.

Gorgeous House, with fabulous sweeping views.
Fantastic House for a girls weekend, but we could tell it would also be highly suitable for families. The views are spectacular - and the house is very well equipped with an open style entertainment first floor and open deck area. We would highly recommend a stay at the fantastic Blue Salt!

Spectacular home away from home
From the moment of booking to the completion of our stay, Deborah ensured that our stay was as seamless as possible. The location is unsurpassed for a sweeping view along 7-mile beach and it was enough just to simply sit and watch the waves and weather coming and going. I would highly recommend their place for a small group of friends as there is plenty of living space outside of the bedrooms and most rooms have views over the ocean. I’ll be back! 🙏🏼

Fabulous stay
We had an excellent stay. The house has amazing views all along the beach with an expansive balcony to enjoy it from. The house is very comfortable with large upstairs living area, tv/kids room and nice bedrooms. Flyscreens mean you can keep everything open to the breeze and sounds of the sea. Very well equiped kitchen. And Gerroa is a lovely beach with good food at the Blue Swimmer. We hope to visit again.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Napper

Host profile image
I love the sea and this is why I chose this house. Like most people I am very busy. I come to visit Blue Salt to get away from the everyday lifestyle and to encounter the beauty and serenity that this house and setting offers. The house is elegant and relaxing with all that I need for a seaside escape. I hope my guests have this experience when they come here to enter another world.

Why they chose this property

We chose this house because of the spectacular view of the ocean, beach and river and the proximity to the beach and river for swimming, canoeing, fishing and surfing. We also chose the house because of it's open plan layout, its 3 floors and the 16 metre glass sliding doors and glass panels that allow the view into the house. The house is very appealing. The wood burner transforms winter - making the house warm and providing lots of ambiance.

What makes this property unique

Blue Salt to me is a very relaxing and beautiful place to come to. It is special to me and is my little corner of the world where I can escape the pressures of life. For hours on end I can just sit on my balcony and watch and listen to all that is happening by the sea. The house is modern and appealing. The wall of glass makes the house very special for bringing the view into the house. When down on the beach you can spot Blue Salt because of it's very wide spread of glass. You can watch your older children at the beach from the balcony. Binoculars help but aren't necessary. I watch my 15 yo twins without having to be at the beach with them.
A large wood burner, a glass of local wine, cheese plate and that view and sound of the ocean spells relaxation.
