Extra spacious
Guests love this home’s spaciousness for a comfortable stay.
Soak up the sun at Old Salty, book and enjoy a complimentary bottle of local wine to toast your east coast escape!
Nestled among gum trees with sweeping views of the beach, ocean and lagoon, this rustic retreat features an open-plan living space, a private guest wing, and a spacious parents’ retreat with ensuite.
Enjoy the sun-drenched deck, firepit, and fenced yard for furry friends. Relax, explore, and soak up the salty air in this peaceful slice of Tassie’s east coast.
The space
Old Salty Shack is a relaxed, character-filled retreat perched above the beach in Binalong Bay. Designed with simplicity and comfort in mind, the shack features an open-plan living area that flows into a separate guest wing with two bedrooms and a bathroom, perfect for families or friends travelling together. This wing can be closed off for privacy, while the spacious parents’ retreat offers a quiet sanctuary with its own ensuite and room to unwind.
The interiors are casual and coastal, with timber finishes, comfy furnishings, and plenty of natural light. Whether you're curling up with a book, sharing a meal, or simply soaking in the view, Old Salty invites you to slow down and enjoy the moment.
Step outside to a large, sun-drenched deck with panoramic views of the beach, ocean, and nearby lagoon. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee, sunset drinks, or stargazing at night. Off the deck, you’ll find a rustic firepit area for storytelling and marshmallow toasting, plus a fully fenced space for your furry friends to roam safely.
And for those who need to stay connected, Old Salty is equipped with gigabit NBN from Launtel, ideal for remote work, streaming, or sharing your holiday snaps.
Whether you're here to explore the Bay of Fires, relax by the fire, or simply breathe in the salty air, Old Salty Shack is your base for a memorable east coast escape.

G’day!
I’m an architectural designer with a passion for great spaces and meaningful stays. I host Old Salty Shack in Binalong Bay and The Gorge House in Launceston.
