Quiet and relaxing

A lovely and comfortable place with a garden space our dogs loved. Close to everything with a couple of good places to eat, many good walks and seemingly a fisherman's paradise.

Comfortable & convenient

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sandpiper Cottage, it is so comfortable and has everything we needed for our 3 week stay. It's just a short walk into the main town/waterfront and to walking tracks. The area experienced a power blackout and we were grateful to receive Sera's notification and text explaining where to find torches and candles etc. Planning to be back next year!

Perfect dog and people accommodation.

A lovely home with everything that we needed. The garden was perfect for our kelpies with very secure fencing and two sections where they could be contained. Would recommend for sure.
