TESTIMONIAL - WHAT DO THE SALAMANDER SAILING ADVENTURE GUESTS SAY ?
“Wonderful Birthday Celebration!”
​
"Beautiful trip up Beaulieu River with lunch at the Master Builder for my husband's birthday.
Our party included our 18 month old grandson who was welcomed aboard and we all had a great time. The hosts were excellent and nothing was too much trouble.
The highlight for us was the provision of a surprise and superb dairy free birthday cake with champagne.
Would strongly recommend."
