Expansive decks, comfortable bedrooms and plenty of living space.

Enjoy the views through the bifold kitchen windows onto a great entertaining area. Multiple elevated decks, great aspect for watching the sunset over the ocean. Outdoor undercover bbq area.

Dream stay
The Sandy sister is a must for those who are looking for an outstanding property to stay as a group or couple. The location is just a short drive from Hobart and could easily be used for a much needed reprieve or as a base to explore the surrounding area. The hosts have outdone themselves providing everything you could need for either a short or extended stay. Beds are super comfy and the entire place is spotlessly clean. The host communication and directions for the property were very easy to understand. We simply loved staying here!

Amazing House in Amazing Location
This is a fabulous property. Our only disappointment was that we weren’t staying for longer!! Long afternoon walk on the beach - amazing sunset - fabulous entertaining spaces with insane views. The owners were quick to respond to every question. The house was immaculate and so very cosy and we all fell in love with the bed linen.. We will definitely be back. LOVED IT!!

Short but sweet
Perfect house with everything we needed to be comfortable plus a truly stunning view. The only thing (minor inconvenience) that could have made it any better would have been a fenced area for either dogs or small children. But we were just grateful our little dog was welcome to come with us. Thanks so much, we’ll definitely be back if you’ll have us. Michelle and family

A beautiful spot to unwind at the end of touring around. Close enough to lots of attractions to visit and the local iga just up the hill was fantastic for food essentials 😊
