Balcony View Wedding Venue & Restaurant

Wonderful view on the balcony. Staff were so friendly and accommodating even if we arrived late during lunch service. This isn’t just a wedding venue (as their Maps entry would suggest) — it’s a great restaurant for lunch and dinner!

Salt Water: Stress-Free Wedding Bliss

We both want to thank you so so much. It was so easy to plan our wedding with your support. You made sure we were all set and ready to go, making it stress-free. We literally couldn’t have done it without you. All the little details were very much appreciated from the run-sheet, to all the organisation and your enthusiastic and passionate manner that drew us towards Salt Water in the first place. Many of our guests said it was the most beautiful location for a wedding

Saltwater: The Perfect Wedding Venue

My now Husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Saltwater. Katie who handled all communications and planning was amazing from the first enquiry until the big day. Nothing was a problem and there was no such thing as too many questions for her. Kylie and Dave were nothing short of perfect. The venue, the food, the staff, everything! They really took all stress away from us and took charge doing what they do best.

Salt: The Perfect Venue for Our Fairytale Wedding

From the moment we first dined in at salt for a lunch occasion, we instantly fell in love with the spectacular venue. Which was back in July 2022, we were initially going to be getting married in far North Queensland. Airlie beach northerlies. However SALT honestly took our breath away, from the stunning views, the spectacular restaurants furniture. Then came the deliciously mouth watering food, not only the quality of meals and drinks.
