About this property

Sandy Bay Beach Retreat

Its a great fishing spot with a boat ramp on the beach, if you don't have a boat there is also a wharf around the corner .Is a safe beach for the family to enjoy with glow worms in the cave at low tide or kayaking in the sea and creek. Tangiaro kiwi retreat for a coffee and lunch. The Coromandel coastal walk is great walk on a good day, the walk starts at Stoney Bay which is the next beach . There is also horse riding treks available in Colville.

Hidden paradise- definitely coming back.
Check in process was very easy. Location of the property was very close to beach front. It was a fantastic Bach experience for my children. They found the PS2 very interesting, while for us adults it was very nostalgic. If you can stay for as long as possible, it’s truly a magical place. We will definitely be back :)

The perfect summer bach!
Really recommend this property, even better than the photos. The beach was so close and we enjoyed waking up and walking along the beach every morning. Plenty of room for our ute and boat on the lawn and lovely spots to sit in the sun. The hosts/owners had great communication and were very helpful. We will definitely be back.

A corner of paradise
Outstanding location and epic wildlife experiences - rare teal, banded rail and eels in the stream next door, dotterel and oystercatchers on the beach 2 minutes away. Lots to keep yourself occupied and a stunning couch on the patio [yes, the most comfy one ever!] for sunrises and sun sets. Worth the epic drive on rough roads to get there. The night sky is wondrous for us city slickers.

Beautiful bach
Very spacious, kids could play right at the front lawn,due to almost no cars on the roads they ran the whole bay up and down. Everything there after a successful dive or fishing mission incl a big freezer . Musselfarms 10min away on a kayak All up was it what we were hoping for and we will be back with more time Thanks for that great stay
