The Hosted Home

with Natalie Walton & Lauren Charge

The Hosted Home Workshop at Salt at Shoal Bay was an intimate 2 day experience where holiday property owners and creative hosts came together to explore the art and business of hosting.

Alongside our good friend Natalie Walton, the workshop blended thoughtful conversations around design, storytelling and marketing with practical, hands-on insights, all set against a beautiful beachside backdrop.

Guests left feeling inspired, connected and equipped with the confidence and tools to elevate both their properties and their hosting journey.

Social Media, Branding & Marketing Workshop

with Laura Higgins & Lauren Charge

The Branding & Marketing Workshop at Salt at Shoal Bay was a focused, immersive day created for holiday property owners and creative business owners ready to refine their brand and show up with clarity online.

Alongside the incredible Laura Higgins, we explored authentic branding, strategic storytelling and social media that feels intentional and aligned, blending big-picture thinking with practical, actionable tools in a relaxed coastal setting.

Guests left feeling clear, confident and inspired, with a deeper understanding of how to communicate their brand, connect with their audience and grow their presence in a way that feels true to them.

  • "The workshop completely blew me away. The opportunities that you both showed it can create it is so exciting and something I have recommend to so many people and I will attend again. There is so much to cover and so much to learn and you did it amazingly in 2 days without overwhelming or exhausting us. It was like I was at a retreat with friends, what a great learning environment. I have started the Soquewarehouse Apartments Instagram as a direct result of the workshop and today (2 weeks after the workshop) I have over a 100 followers from zero to that is a success for me and I would not have done it without what I had learnt during those 2 days!!! The Hosted Home Workshop at Salt was not just a workshop it was an experience! From not only the open hearted authentic learning of hearing Lauren’s & Natalie’s stories but what they provided during with the catering was amazing. I highly recommend anyone that is in the home industry to come along so as you can meet the hosts and others as connecting is one thing that happens at the workshop."

  • "Great Workshop. Lauren and Natalie are incredibly warm and generous souls. They have so much experience in the industry and shared in such a personal way. They created an opportunity for us to connect and create relationships with others. This workshop was “wow” from start to finish. I would love to do it all again"

  • "I had an amazing few days at the 'Hosted Home Workshop' with Lauren and Natalie, such a great experience. As someone about to embark on a big project it was so great to spend time with Lauren understanding first hand her experience in the building, designing and marketing of Salt. Natalie was so great opening our eyes to styling and what people are looking for and walking us through many of the decisions when it comes to suppliers and the essentials of styling. There were so many beautiful details considered by the girls, from engraved leather binders, to gift vouchers and homewares. We received a taste of the area from all of the local suppliers for breakfast, teas and coffees, lunches and dinners, it was so lovely to see such local community support. All in all loved the workshop and was so happy to be a part of the very first one. Well done ladies."

  • "Thank you Lauren and Natalie, the two day workshop was even more than I expected. The opportunity to connect with other like-minded property owners was such a great experience and invaluable, hearing about their stories was so inspiring and helpful. I felt totally spoilt, was over and above my expectations. I felt guilty every time I sent a picture to my family, it looked like I was on holiday, not on a learning workshop. The Hosted Home workshop was wonderful and extremely valuable. Lauren and Natalie were so open and generous with sharing their expertise, all delivered with honesty and authenticity in the most fabulous setting at Salt, Shoal Bay. Thank you both."
