Goodshelter Bay Overview

Goodshelter Bay is a triumph of architectural design in a sensitive and secluded setting. Nestled along the foreshore of Goodshelter and Waterhead Creek, it is a place synonymous with generations of boat builders and fishermen who used the cove to revitalise and relax.

With a private slipway and 300 metres of foreshore you can walk 20 metres from your bedroom through the pretty winding wildflower garden for your early morning swim or sunset paddle-board.

Designed and built in 2021 by Harrison Sutton, this extremely private boutique holiday home is centred on an angle change to take advantage of the stunning coastal views. The main living space on the upper ground floor is designed to hang in an elevated woodland setting looking out over the tranquil estuary.

The spacious and well-equipped open-plan kitchen and dining area leads to a beautiful sitting area. As the night cools, this is a comfortable place to retire and a wood burner ensures a cosy night. A separate sitting room with a large television is great for watching the latest Hollywood blockbuster.

Downstairs are four luxurious self-contained suites. Each enjoy their own sea views, doors out to the garden and en suite bath or shower room. To give the house maximum flexibility, each bedroom can be set-up as a twin or a super king.

Underneath the beautiful wooden loggia is a sitting and dining area just perfect for morning coffees or al fresco lunches with friends. The stunning 2.5 acres of private gardens are there to be explored, and you’ll find pretty pathways winding through wild flowers, hidden seating areas and the creek down below. And as the sun sets, the chiminea and side garden come into their own for sundowners.

For those fitness and wellbeing enthusiasts take advantage of the private Nissen hut in the grounds, housing a gym with cross-trainer, bench, weights and yoga facilities. Follow your workout with an indulgent sauna and ease out muscles or just breathe and relax in this gorgeous space.

There are two kayaks provided to explore the creeks on summer days or to head into Salcombe to pick up croissants for breakfast. And for those with boating aspirations, there is a running mooring that can be made available if you have your own boat. Please speak to the team for more information.

The utility area with washing machine, tumble dryer is a great space for washing/drying from the days events, and a separate cloakroom with a bench and hanging space is for your jacket and wellies.

Goodshelter Bay is a generously proportioned house that is perfect for your next coastal retreat with friends or family. Stunning interiors, a glorious setting and incredibly private; this is a knockout holiday home which really sets the bar high.

We had another fabulous stay at Goodshelter and were very sad to leave. The property is just as stunning as last time, the attention to detail is excellent. Comfy, tranquil, with top quality finishes and stunning location and views. Can’t wait to visit again.

The property is amazing set in a lovely albeit more remote part of the estuary. The gardens are extensive and beautiful. Every possible requirement has been thought of, the kitchen has everything you could need and more. Definitely one of our favourites and we visit Salcombe every year. We didn’t want to leave and it’s certainly one to re-visit.

A beautiful house in a beautiful location, well appointed throughout with very comfortable bedrooms, and excellent facilities. It was an ideal setting for a week's holiday for two young families plus grandparents.

Goodshelter Bay is a fantastic property. Extremely comfortable and well equipped. The location is wonderful, peaceful and scenic. The location is remote and the road to the property is narrow but well worth the trip. We had a great time and couldn't wish for anything else in the property. We would very much like to stay again.

Goodshelter Bay was exceptional. The property itself was well equipped and had everything you would need. The views were fantastic and we were able to get out on the canoes and explore a little. It's five stars from us.

We had a fabulous stay at Goodshelter Bay, it is such a beautiful property that has very clearly been lovingly restored. There were 4 couples as part of a stay for a 60th birthday and we had everything we could possibly need, the house was very well equipped and many compliments from all on the comfort of the beds and pillows/duvets etc! Some good nights sleep were had! We really did have such a wonderful stay and would definitely rate it 5 stars - the location is so tranquil, views are amazing and it really is a special property - we were all very sad to leave!
