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.

The fenced areas was great. And for a dog friendly property it didn't smell like dog. Thanks for a great short stay.

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.

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!

Thank you for a lovely stay. The kitchen has a great set up for cooking your own meals. The garden is happily dog proof and the shed was great for storing the boat. Thanks again.
