Overall good

Good size property, good location. It does need a little TLC, a good deep clean, and a pest spray as there were lots of spiders. I would stay here again.

A must stay !

My son and his friends stayed at the Ranch for a few days to celebrate his birthday. Ample space, bbq, fire pit. Remote stay but central enough to go to the beach, town and see the sights Communication with the owner Fiona was open and easy and she met the boys to make sure they had everything they needed. She was flexible and accomodating and I wouldn’t hesitate recommending this place to everyone!

About the host

Hosted by Fiona Neal

Host profile image
My name is Fiona and I am a mum of 4. Our family brought The Ranch in November 2023. Having lived overseas for many years in busy cities having a home away from the hussle and bussle with wide open space has always been a dream.

Why they chose this property

Having The Ranch at Salt Ash allows us to have a rural property close to beaches and the city of Newcastle. For us, this is the best of both worlds. Waking up of a morning and seeing the open fields, birds, horses frockling and the occasional kangaroo feels like a breath of fresh air.

What makes this property unique

We want our guest to come to The Ranch and just relax, to breath in the fresh air and let all their worries go. The Ranch is large in size allowing groups of friends or family to come together and enjoy each others company. There is plenty of room to be together in the expansive lounge room, dining room and outside bbq area but also we have gone to great effort to make our bedrooms a place for quiet enjoyment.
