Everything you could need and such a lovely host
We had such a lovely family stay here. The personal touches from the host, Lucinda, were so appreciated and she is so accommodating. And great communication. So much to do. Kids loved the games room plus the upstairs area. Beds were comfortable, great fire pit. Just wonderful and would stay again. Everything you could need and definitely felt like a home rather than a house. Thank you.

We chose The Sandcastle for our annual family getaway with our daughters and their partners and one 10 year old granddaughter. Everyone appreciated the space, comfort and activities available to enjoy in this lovely clean, spacious, bright and welcoming home. Communication with the host was easy and very helpful.

Enjoyable Christmas week!
We have just spent a wonderful Christmas week at The Sandcastle. Excellent holiday home with everything you need. Great communication with host. Good location with easy walk into main area of Pt Elliot. Beach access up the hill but an easy walk. Home is well laid out with good areas upstairs and down. Third toilet an extra bonus! Great kitchen with ample crockery/cutlery, pantry cupboard and two door fridge/freezer. Facilities were easy to manage for a disabled and visually impaired adult and her dog. Can highly recommend this holiday home. Thankyou Lucinda for giving us a wonderful Christmas week........the Christmas Tree and lights another bonus!!
