17. Salt Beach Retreat, bunk room (from USD 37)

Those on a budget, or travelling in a small group, may wish to check out this centrally-located property. This private bunk room within the owner’s house can sleep up to four people in four bunks - although additional guest fees apply if more than one person plans to use the space. The property is situated less than a 10-minute drive away, while the likes of the Bay Beach is even closer. There are also shops and a number of cafes and restaurants in the area - which may prove ideal, as the kitchen access in the property is limited without previous arrangement with the host. Although the kitchen access is limited, this is not a reflection on the hosts themselves, who have won top marks from past guests, many of whom have praised the warm welcome they have received.
